Just $24pp + tip for Carlos, gets you a 2h leisurely cruise along the Maurice (pronounced "Mawr-iss") River with Captain Dave providing a wealth of information about local nature and history. Captain Dave offers cruises at 6pm Wednesdays (sunset cruise), or 1pm & 4pm on Fridays and Saturdays. The web info said we'd see eagles, bluffs, historic sites, and wild rice growing. I did see an eagle. I was talking with the couple next to us, so I didn't hear the whole tour from Captain Dave, so I'm not sure what historic sites were or where wild rice was, but I know a lot of local marshes have wild rice growing and it just looks like straw grass. It was a fun tour. In summer months, many locals out enjoying the riverside mini beaches, or boating around. It was a little rough for my child (then 4) to handle the full time with adult talk, so maybe bring a few fidget toys that won't blow away in the wind or annoy other passengers if you have young kids. Parking was free in the municipal lot directly across the street from the boat dock. I hesitated because municipal vehicles were parked there, but it's completely normal for them to expect passenger parking.

We met our dear friends from Delaware at Captain Dave's boat last Saturday for our 4 pm cruise. The weather was simply beautiful and perfect for cruising down the Maurice River. It was a lovely ride down the river seeing an eagle high up in the trees as well as some ospreys nesting. The ride back was great as well with some excitement seeing the River Police nab two speeders who were creating many wakes on their jet skis. We felt everyone of those hard wakes crashing into Captain Dave's boat. It was a magnificent day on the River and with our close friends.

Captain Dave was a super Gracious host on my recent tour of the Maurice River. This was a relaxing , informative, educational trip. I was amazed at all the beauty and History of Millville, NJ. A true find, tucked away here in South Jersey!

Made a reservation in August for September. His wife took my information and saved the date. I called twice to confirm the reservation the day before and the day of the trip....no answer
nor response. We went anyway and he apologized for not having our reservation saying he cannot keep up with the phone calls. He called me a week later to see if I wanted to reschedule. I agreed and made it for today 10/29. Needless to say, the same scenario played out and we were sent away again. He was unapologetic this time. Hot dog operation. Captain should pay for people's time and gas expenses like other posters have suggested. If I could give negative stars, I would.

What a lovely interesting ride down the river. Finally I saw eagles.....and a couple fascinating nests, turtle, osprey, egrets and we were lucky to see an otter swimming. I hope to do it again.♥️

We totally enjoyed this cruise! Captain Dave was very informative. Just an easy ride on the "Morris" River (I now know how to pronounce v. Maur-eese!).Guaranteed to spot Eagles and yes, we did. Turn around at Port Elizabeth--new to area and wondered where that was. Historical facts and artifacts onboard boat quite interesting. A bit disappointed the sunset Wednesday cruise did not have enough takers. Will try again soon. Highly recommend, easy parking.
