What Customers Say

Just went out today for a tour cruise and oyster shucking. It was great time! Was nice to see different parts of VA and get some historical background from the area. Captain Trey was great, friendly and was sure to involve my daughter in the experience. I would most definitely recommend and hope to go out again when we return!

We also operate a family-run oyster farm. Chapel Creek Oysters are grown in the sheltered habitat of the Piankatank River in sight of the Chesapeake Bay. Come to Mathews and see the farm and explore this ecosystem.

We are members of the East Coast Shellfish Growers Association, Virginia Shellfish Growers Association and are in a partnership with Sensible Seafood through the VA aquarium.

How does one with a teaching and geology background end up an oyster farmer and charter captain one might ask?
