Weekend delivered to Milford Haven
17' foot Skiff All Day Rental
Service Description
If I had to pick one thing that renters text me about while they're still out on the water, it's Sandy Point. Located just south of Gwynn's Island where Milford Haven meets the Chesapeake Bay, Sandy Point is a long stretch of natural shoreline accessible only by water. No parking lots. No boardwalks. No crowds. Just sand, water, wildlife, and one of the most unique beaches in Mathews County. Many guests spend part of their day pulling the boat up on the beach, exploring the shoreline, looking for shells, swimming, or simply enjoying a place that most visitors never discover. Sandy Point is protected by the Mathews Land Conservancy and remains one of the area's true hidden gems. Milford Haven is also one of my favorite launch locations when winds are elevated elsewhere. The surrounding waters offer more protection than many nearby areas while still providing access to excellent fishing, scenic cruising, wildlife viewing, Gwynn's Island, waterfront communities, and countless opportunities to explore. The 17' York River Skiff is easy to operate and ideal for a relaxed day on the water. Its shallow draft allows access to creeks, coves, shorelines, and areas larger boats often cannot reach. Powered by a reliable 9.9 horsepower outboard, it is designed for exploring, fishing, crabbing, beach hopping, sightseeing, and enjoying the Chesapeake Bay—not tubing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, or other tow sports. Meet us at the launch ramp for a dockside orientation before setting off on your adventure. The rental includes required safety equipment and a Virginia Saltwater Boat Fishing License covering anglers fishing from the vessel. Anglers age 16 and older who do not already possess a Virginia saltwater fishing license must obtain a free Virginia Fisherman Identification Program (FIP) number prior to fishing.

Life on the water. Shared.
