WELCOME TO THE WATER
We can’t wait to host you at Hold Fast Oyster Co., where our coastal farm tour blends salty air, oyster education, and barefoot adventure. Whether you’re a seafood enthusiast, eco-tourist, or simply curious about what it takes to grow an unordinary oyster, you’ll find this immersive experience unforgettable.

Oysters
Gather around our custom-built floating oyster bar—anchored right on the farm and surrounded by the same waters that raised our oysters. Stand shoulder to shoulder with friends as you shuck oysters pulled straight from the bay, savoring them just seconds out of the water. It’s an unforgettable, tide-level tasting experience that blends freshness, connection, and a true sense of place.
-
Cocktails
Complement your bites with coastal-inspired cocktails crafted to match the maritime mood. Sip on citrus-forward spritzes, garden herb infusions, and signature blends made with seasonal fruits and locally distilled spirits. From a salty oyster martini to a refreshing cucumber-basil cooler, each cocktail is designed to play off the bright, clean flavors of the oysters and the sea.
-
Pairings
This isn’t just an oyster tasting—it’s a full-sensory experience. Enjoy curated pairings designed to complement the briny bite of our oysters: artisanal charcuterie, local cheeses, seasonal fruits, and accompaniments that bring out the coastal character in every shell.
-
Islands
After you’ve had your fill of oysters and cocktails, the adventure doesn’t end—just across the channel lies a stretch of uninhabited shoreline begging to be explored. Our ecotours include guided access to neighboring barrier islands where you can beachcomb for shells, wade through tidal pools, or simply kick back in the sun with a cold drink in hand.
