About
At our new Gallant's Channel location, getting there and parking is a breeze! There are few better times to be enjoying the sea breeze, the sun, and any beverages you might bring along. It’s also the perfect time to get a tan and enjoy relaxing by the sea, as any proper beach trip requires. Our captains are well-equipped to help you with this. In addition to being very familiar with the area and the best places to catch the breezes, waves, and rays, they can also suggest fun activities to maximize your exposure to all of the above. As it is one of the warmer parts of the day, going to the beach is an obvious solution, but due to the tides in and around the Crystal Coast, you might also be able to create your own Sandbar Party!
