COVID-19 Response & Changes
We plan to be up and running on June 1 and are currently taking reservations by phone 302-644-7334. See you soon!
Your health is our top priority, and we have put special measures in place to keep all guests safe.
Social Distancing: Guests will maintain social distancing of 6′ while loading and onboard. Upon making a reservation we will be pre-assigning seats to assure our guests are at a safe social distance. Stringent Cleaning – We’ve increased the frequency of disinfecting surfaces between each tour. Hand sanitizer will be available to all of our guests.
Face Coverings – Guests will wear face coverings until seated on our vessel. You may bring snacks & beverages to enjoy onboard. Crew members will also wear face coverings unless narrating a tour at a safe distance from guests.
Wellness Checks – Crew members receive daily wellness checks to ensure they are healthy and symptom-free. Our crew will also be checking guests temperatures prior to boarding. Please stay home if you are experiencing symptoms.
Single riders: In our efforts to practice social distancing safety protocols on our vessels, we must limit our capacity to 30% of our normal seating allowance. This will make it more difficult to cover our operating costs, therefore, we are unable to allow reservations at the single rider price at this time (Applies to tours & cruises -not private charters). You may, however, make a reservation as a single rider by purchasing 2 seats. If you are unable to do this we look forward to having you as a guest when we can safely increase our capacity. Thank you for your support and understanding during these temporary challenges.
Private Charters: Due to decreased capacity on our vessels we will be limiting our private charters to 25 guests. Click on the “Charters” tab for more information about private charters.

Whether this is your first or 500th visit to the Delaware beaches, you will never have a better view of the uniqueness of the southern Delaware waterways than the view you get when you are on one of the cruises or water tours offered by Captain David Green & his family and the crew of Cape Water Tours and Taxi.
Knowledgeable captains and crew members take you out on the Discovery or the Escape in comfort and style. Once on board, experience the panoramic views of our shorelines, the wonderfully lush landscape of our grassy marshlands, our local water life and birdlife, and the rich history of what was once a major shipping canal for transporting crops and commodities up and down the rivers to major ports such as Philadelphia and Wilmington.
Imagine seeing all that with no traffic, no lines, and no crowds of people to dodge.

Great tour of the canal. We loved the eco-tour. The staff, both Captain Steve and tour leader Kathleen, were well informed, friendly, and very helpful. We'll do it again!
