Masonboro Island excursion

4 Hour – Beach Excursion on July 30, 2026 • 2 adults

On July 30th we hired Captain Jeff for an island hopping excursion to Masonboro Island, an uninhabited natural preserve that you can only get to by a boat. We boarded at the Wildfire Boat Launch near Snow Cut bridge in Carolina Beach. On the way he spotted a pod of dolphins. We anchored in the intercoastal waterway at the northern tip of Masonboro Island. It was low tide when we arrived which is a perfect time for wading and sitting in the shallow warm tidal water.  There are a few picturesque trails to explore from the intercoastal waterway which cross over to the ocean side. Captain Jeff retired from the New Jersey Police force, moved to the North Carolina shore, and started his boating business. He is an experienced boat captain, punctual, reliable, and personable. He is a licensed and insured.

Perfect trip

Customer choice on July 27, 2026

We had an absolutely amazing time with Jeff! He was a fantastic captain – punctual, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Throughout the trip, he shared lots of interesting information about the area, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

The boat trip to Masonboro Island was unforgettable. The beach was stunning, peaceful, and easily one of the most beautiful beaches we’ve ever visited. Jeff gave us plenty of time and privacy to enjoy the island at our own pace, which we really appreciated.

He also provided cold bottled water, which was a thoughtful touch on a warm day.

If you’re looking for a memorable and relaxing private boat tour, we couldn’t recommend Jeff more highly. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
