|Comments Off on Banter on the Bay with David Green
This week on Beachfront Banter, Frank and Adam take the mic to the marina and set sail with Dave Green of Cape Water Tours. What started in 2012 as a Green family venture has grown into one of coastal Delaware’s most memorable on-the-water experiences — from dolphin cruises and sunset sails to live music nights and narrated ecology tours. Dave shares the story behind the business, the local history that shaped it, and how their water taxi makes cruising between Lewes and Rehoboth Beach part of the fun instead of the traffic.
