    It was a great day!

    4 Hour – Sandbar Adventur - 11:00 AM • 6 adults • 1 child

    We went as a family of 6, one of them being my very curious autistic 7 year old who had a great time. Gabriel, the captain was so kind and patient with him and even welcoming my son to help him with tasks he was curious about, letting him go down with him and check out the cabin, catching bait with the cast net, and using his smaller net off the boat to catch fish by the sandbar etc. by the end of the trip it was like we were just on a boat with one of our friends. Gabriel was great. he was very attentive and welcoming, the boat was beautiful, he had everything we needed. We could not of asked for a better time. We will definitly be booking with Gabriel again when we come back!

    Fourth of July 2026

    4 Hour – Sandbar Adventure - 12:00 PM • 4 adults

    If you’re looking for more than just a boat ride, book this charter. This was one of the absolute highlights of our Fourth of July weekend and an experience we’ll never forget. Captain Gabriel and Eli were phenomenal. From the moment we stepped aboard, they made us feel completely at ease. They struck the perfect balance of being professional, knowledgeable, and safety-conscious while also being incredibly personable and fun. By the end of the day, they honestly felt more like beach friends than a charter crew. The little details are what made this experience so special. When one of our matching hats blew away, they actually turned the boat around and went back to retrieve it for us. That small act of kindness meant so much because they knew how excited we were about our trip and all the memories we were making together. They took us to the most beautiful little private island with tree swings that felt like something out of a movie. They happily helped us take group photos, let us play our own music, never rushed us, and genuinely wanted us to enjoy every moment of the day. As someone who hosted this getaway, I wanted every experience to feel elevated and unforgettable for my guests, and Captain Gabriel and Eli absolutely delivered. We laughed, relaxed, explored, and made memories we’ll be talking about for years. Thank you both for your kindness, your hospitality, and for making our holiday weekend so incredibly special. We can’t recommend you enough, and we’ll absolutely be back the next time we’re in Wilmington!

    Dolphins, Great Views, and Lasting Memories!

    4 Hour – Sandbar Adventur - 10:00 AM • 2 adults

    We had an amazing experience! Our captain was experienced, flexible, and extremely knowledgeable about the area. He customized the trip to what we wanted, making our anniversary feel truly special. We saw dolphins, explored beautiful locations, checked out waterfront restaurants, and discovered places we never would have found on our own. The entire day was relaxing, fun, and unforgettable. We highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for an exceptional day on the water—we’ll definitely be back!

    Captain Jeff was fantastic!

    6 Hour – Sandbar Adventure - 10:00 AM • 6 adults

    I originally booked a sand bar tour with a different captain, but due to issues with the boat, Captain Jeff on Cop Out took our group of 6 out instead. It was the BEST day! Captain Jeff is very experienced and personable. He taught us about the local waterways and found a hard-to-get spot on Masonboro Island where we had a blast for the majority of our time. I definitely recommend Captain Jeff and Cop Out!

    Captain Gabe and crew were 10/10!

    Special 3 hour trip for Michelle Bayer • 6 adults

    We had such a great time with Captain Gabe. He took us to several different places and worked very hard to make sure we had a super fun adventure on the water! He and the crew were very nice and laidback, and he even gave us recommendations on local places to eat, drink, and explore. We’d love to go out with him again!
