Sandbar Joe’s runs small, captain-led boat cruises through the quieter back bays around Wildwood. The Little Joe pontoon is used for private charters, with options ranging from a 90-minute ride to longer cruises with time at the sandbars for swimming and hanging out on the water. The boat is BYOB, and dogs are welcome aboard, making this one of the more unusual dog-friendly experiences at the Shore.
They also operate larger public cruises aboard the Sandbar Social from Stone Harbor, including sunset cruises, brunch trips, and special events.
