We've been boating with Seth for years and you will not be disappointed. He's a lot of fun but also very focused on safety. Seth has an incredible knowledge of the area's waterways, wildlife, and points of interest. Every ride has been great! I highly recommend his services.

Captain Seth was incredible! He is extremely knowledge able and professional. When we were searching for shark teeth we found this HUGE Megalodon tooth! (photo attached). Highly recommend spending a day with Captain Seth. It was fun for our whole family.

What an amazing find! I’m so glad you gave us the opportunity to serve you. We find a few of those fully intact a year and you are one of the lucky ones. I think those kiddos just made a true core memory!

Captain Seth is amazing. He took us on a sunset cruise and the views are outstanding. The area is great with dolphins and alligators and all kinds of wildlife . Take the time out of your schedule to relax and cruise through the marsh lands . We will be taking advantage of the other trips that they offer 10 out of 10

This was the perfect trip for me too! We got to see everything. Thank you for sharing those great photos with us. We will see you next time you visit and thanks for giving us the opportunity to serve you and you kiddos!
Captain Seth was knowledgeable, easygoing and enjoyable. We had a wonderful time and will book again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone.

Thank you so much for your 5 star review. We are glad you enjoyed your time with us and look forward to seeing you next time you visit Emerald Isle!
