Day Trip Masonboro Island
4 Hour – Island Trip on August 27, 2026

Chartered a boat for a day trip to Masonboro Island to collect seashells. Jake is an excellent host. He is friendly, very knowledgeable, knows the great locations and took us to several areas on the island, including some that can be difficult to navigate. An overall excellent experience. Fair rates and great service. HIGHLY recommend

Fishing has always been a true passion of mine as I got older I always have loved watching people/kids catch their first fish or even a different species. Spending time on the water is something I love and enjoy meeting new people and getting to show them the world that is so special to me.
