Explore the peaceful bays, marshes, and island shorelines of the Texas Coastal Bend aboard Stillwater, a comfortable and stable Mowdy Cat bay boat designed for navigating shallow coastal waters.
Our private tours take you through quiet backwaters around Port Aransas, where birders, wildlife enthusiasts, and photographers can experience the beauty of the coastal ecosystem up close. These areas are home to a wide variety of birds, including herons, egrets, pelicans, roseate spoonbills, ospreys, and seasonal migratory species. Dolphins are also frequently spotted in the bays.
The vessel is a 2018 Mowdy Cat bay boat powered by a 250 HP Mercury outboard, offering a smooth ride and the unique ability to reach shallow areas where larger boats cannot go. This allows guests to access secluded shorelines and wildlife habitats rarely seen from typical tour boats.
Tours accommodate up to four guests for a relaxed, personal experience on the water.
Guests are welcome to bring drinks or snacks to enjoy while cruising the calm coastal waterways.

Captain Justin and his wife Shauna, were so kind AND knowledgeable of the region. Their boat allows access to areas that give a very up close and intimate experience of the beauty and majesty the coastline has to offer. They don’t just “boat you around” they see the magic, and are able to help their guests see it too. The sunset shimmering on the flat water, the old light house, the pink spoonbills, back lake marshes, It was the highlight of our trip. DEFINITELY recommend some time in the water with these guys!
We had a great time with Justin and Shawna! They are such grest people!! They were very accommodating to us!! The boat trip took us to places we wouldn’t have been able to see on a large boat with tons of people! We absolutely loved it!! Such beautiful scenery!! We would highly recommend this trip to anyone!! :)
Thank you Carol for recommending Stillwater Scenic Tours! We really enjoyed having you out on the water with us. The spoonbill photo you caputred is fabtastic! Hope to have you back aboard again someday!
