    Awesome trip

    1.5 Hour – Sunset Cruise • 6 adults • 2 children

    I took my 81 yo mother, my sister and my family, which included two teenagers. Unfortunately, the weather was not good so we didn’t get to see the sunset, but we had a great time! Charles is an awesome captain and has great stories about the landmarks you pass. Nick was awesome, as well and made sure everyone was comfortable and had what they need. They made sure we saw dolphins and a great time was had by all!

    Beautiful and relaxing evening

    1.5 Hour – Sunset Cruise • 8 adults • 2 children

    The sunset cruise was beautiful, fun, and relaxing. The captain was wonderful and laid back, letting all the kids take turns at the wheel and encouraging everyone to move about the boat freely. He also gave us interesting information about the sights as we passed by. We saw lots of dolphins much to everyone’s delight and also got to see a great sunset. It was a very successful trip that my whole family enjoyed.

    Best boat experience we had!

    1.5 Hour – Dolphin Watch Cruise • 8 adults • 3 children

    It was a great experience. Boat was well maintained, clean, and very spacious. The environment was the best, kid friendly. The captain and its crew were very nice. They took us to watch the dolphins which we enjoyed. The captain interacted with us and answered any questions we had. He made sure we had a good time! 10/10

    Great Captain

    1.5 Hour – Sunset Cruise • 2 adults • 1 child

    These guys were awesome. Great to talk to. Watching the sunset from the sunset from the boat was an experience. I brought my daughter who was also given the opportunity to drive the boat with the Captain. Thanks for making our first OBX trip extra memorable! We will definitely book again our next time down.

    Had a great experience!

    1.5 Hour – Dolphin Watch Cruise • 7 adults • 3 children

    We enjoyed the time on the boat but was able to see MANY dolphins during our trip. 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a fun thing to do while in OBX. We were a party with young children and adults; everyone had a great time!
