Beautiful and Relaxing Sunset Charter
2 Hr – Soundside sunset adventure on September 5, 2025 • 6 adults
Captain James was a great tour guide! We were in OBX for a family vacation and were looking for a charter that could show us some local sights and the sunset. Captain James knew exactly where to find several pods of porpoises that were very active the day we went. He was very knowledgeable about the birds and other wildlife we saw and made us feel comfortable to enjoy the trip! We will definitely keep him in mind when we return next year! I think our favorite aspect of Muddy Creek was Captain James made us feel like we had ownership of the charter, he just wanted us to have a good time. Thank you Captain James!

Fun and Relaxing Family Trip
3 Hr – Soundside Adventure PM on July 3, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child
We decided to book the 3hr Sound Boating experience and the initial day was very, very windy. Captain James was very honest and told us that it would be best to go on another day. He wanted to make sure we would have a great experience overall. So the perfect day arrived and we packed in and was ready to explore! We saw dolphins, even a baby dolphin, ospreys, and other wild life during our trip. We anchored on a Sand Isle where we explored, shell collected, played in the sand and the warm water. Captain James was very knowledgeable and very kind to us. Would highly recommend another booking with him! Mahalo Captain James!!!

3 Hr – Sand Island Picnic & Sunset on June 25, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 child
Caption James is an expert navigator of the coastal waters of the Outer Banks. His boat was extremely comfortable too. Captain James was knowledgeable of the the local wildlife and fishing and served as a tour guide and provided a lot of fun facts. We chose the 3 hr sunset cruise. It was a perfect evening and got to see dolphins, egrests and osprey. We did some sightseeing of the nearby islands and homes. Exploring the marshland was great! We would gladly join James on another adventure and would highly recommend him to anyone considering exploring the waters of the Outer Banks.

Great Day!!
2hr soundside adventure midday on June 5, 2025
James offered us a great trip on the water! We didn’t want to go out with one of the large companies and be with 40 other people. James took the 4 people in our party out for a couple of hours. We saw dauphins, osprey nests, we visited a sand bar, saw the marsh up close. It was a great experience! James is knowledgeable of the area and very pleasant to spend a couple of hours with him as our captain! I’d 100% recommend this experience!
