We had the most wonderful experience. My husband and iur best friend booked a two-hour sunset cruise on May 5th which happened to be their first of the season. The captain and crew assistant could not have been nicer and the boat was in pristine condition. We enjoyed an absolutely perfect sunset while learning about some of the history and sites of Manteo. The whole experience from booking to arrival and departure could not have been easier. If we had paid double the price, we would’ve thought it was worth it. This created a memory we will carry with us forever.
We had a wonderful experience with the whole family! Since the weather was going to be sketchy on the day of our cruise, our captain generously & kindly offered an alternate day. The sunset was gorgeous, we learned history about the area and saw dolphins, the coastline and beautiful skies. There were some refreshments, but overall the company of the crew and the time on the water was smooth and memorable!
Twas a beautiful sunset on a beautiful night! Captain accommodated a last minute change to our reservation. Crew were helpful and conscientious in helping my 93 year old mother get aboard / off the boat. Was a memorable family experience!
Captain Lee, Dylan &. were wonderful hosts. We saw a couple of dolphins. That was a wonderful experience while on the cruise. The views were stunning. Our whole family (there were 9 of us.”enjoyed this experience & would definitely partake in it again. The price was incredibly reasonable. Great company, a beautiful evening, memorable and dolphins. I’m not sure you’d have a better experience than with this charter.
3 generations came ,all loved it. Captain even allowed my grandkids to pilot the boat. We saw many dolphins and a beautiful sunset to end the trip.
