It was a small boat but it was great because water in farm was not deep, and that helped my anxiety.

How people rated boat trips in Roanoke Island
5.0/5(2 Hour – Sunset Dolphin Tour)Great trip.
Better than expected. Tour narration great. Good close up view of dolphins. Only issue, they seem to be in need of some protection from speedboats.
- 5.0/5(2 Hour – Sunset Dolphin Tour)
So incredible!!
I went in fully expecting to see nothing, especially given how affordable this was to book. They gave us a really cool history lesson on the harbor where you get on the boat, which was very spacious and comfortable. When we went out into the sound we found a few dolphins pretty quickly! Somehow the captain ended up finding an entire pod of dolphins with a baby! The whole experience was so incredible and a great boat ride. Plus a perfect view of the sunset!!
- 5.0/5(2 Hour – Sunset Dolphin Tour)
beautiful sunset
we totally enjoyed our trip!!! the staff made sure that we saw dolphins. they shared lots of fun facts and information. and the cruise back to the dock while watching the sunset was awesome. the staff was especially good with the kids and families, offering to take pics and letting the little ones drive the boat. 
5.0/5(2 Hour – Private Sunset Cruise)Great family trip.!!!!
The day was special! The boat was clean and well kept. The first mate was friendly and attentive. The Captain went out of his way to show my grandchildren a boating experience they will never forget. He was friendly and engaging. Great job!!! We all enjoyed the sunset!

- 5.0/5(3 Hr – Soundside Adventure PM)
We had a great experience!
Our captain kept us updated about the weather, postponed our trip to make sure we had the best conditions, and communicated with us every step of the way. He made me, my boyfriend, and my three sons feel comfortable from the start. He never rushed us, let us help decide how we spent our time, and truly wanted us to enjoy the trip. You can tell he cares about his guests and takes pride in his new business. Highly recommend! - 5.0/5(1.5 Hour – Sunset Cruise)
