Boating has always been the way of life here in Dilative and so it continues today to be the major livelihood and lifestyle.There are many marinas majorally clustered on Broad Creek, but there are also several on Jackson Creek, Fishing Bay and further up the Piankatank River. There is a kayak store nearby, where rentals are possible.

Boat Rentals Check out B.E.S.T Boatyard for small boat and pontoon boat rentals. http://www.bestmarinellc.com or call us for information.

A Sailing School in Norton's Marina http://www.nortonyachts.com/sailingschool.html . Fishing Bay Yacht Club where many Regattas for all sizes of sailing craft are held. 

Skydiving for the adventurous, at West Point (just 40 minutes away)  with www.skydivewestpoint.com  (Jill has done this and it's awesome).

This is good biking country and good hiking country. There are stables it is possible to ride horses. There are beaches which are public onto the Rappahannock River. Sand bars (if you have a boat) which have become little islands on the north side of the Rappahannock River at Mystic Point; beautiful swimming there in the summer months.

Being just an hour from Williamsburg, Jamestown, Newport News and Richmond makes for an easy commute for a day, if you are feeling homesick for some mega shopping. We do however have delightful boutique stores here in town that would probably satisfy most needs.

Restaurants. We have four in Deltaville itself and others in the very nearby surrounds. There are certainly many to choose from and therefore something to suit every taste.
