Our Story

Since Capt. Tommy Moore recommissioned the Skimmer in 2003, nature lovers from around the world have come aboard to experience Aransas Bay and the winter home of the whooping crane. Tommy’s decades in the area helped shape tours rooted in local knowledge, wildlife, and the stories of this coast. Guests shared their experiences with friends and family, and the Skimmer’s reputation grew by word of mouth.

Today, our family-run crew carries that spirit forward. We give you time to watch what’s happening around you, ask questions, and learn as much as you like from the people on deck.
