4 Hour – Beach Day AM on July 8, 20264 adults

What an incredible way to celebrate a 40th birthday! 🥳☀️🛥️ Captain Josh gave us the perfect day on the water! From Masonboro to Rich Inlet, and even the swings—such a fun and unique stop! Every destination was beautiful, and Captain Josh knew all the best places to anchor, swim, and relax. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience stress-free so we could focus on celebrating. Between the sunshine, music, laughter, and gorgeous views, it was a day we'll all remember for years to come. If you're looking for an unforgettable day on the water, we highly recommend booking with Captain Josh. Whether you're celebrating a birthday or just want an amazing day with friends, you won't be disappointed. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

4 Hour – Beach Day PM on October 18, 20255 adults

Captain Josh was professional, prepared and fun! Upon arrival, he quickly helped put our drinks on ice and made sure we were all comfortable. He took us to a couple spots for fishing (provided live bait) then to an island to enjoy the swing -even offered a ladder so everyone could participate. Great time!
