Totally great trip!

Sunrise photography trip1 adult

Captain Craddock, went the extra mile for me. This was a photography trip to shoot the Bodie Island Lighthouse. He carefully planned (in advance) how to get into the very difficult area we had to go in for me to get the shots I wanted. Also, he is a great guy to work with. He will help in any reasonable way. He did a great job for me and I highly recommend him!

Response from Captain

Doug, I truly enjoyed the trip with you and would love to do it again sometime, thank you.

    Really cool new experience

    2hr soundside adventure morning • 3 adults • 1 child

    James was great and the boat was clean and had plenty of room for the three of us to sit. We toured the sound from the Washington Baum dock to Wanchese marina, and then more south to see and stop at some of the smaller islands. James was very informative of the wildlife and boating/fishing culture in the area and it was a perspective we weren’t expecting when we booked but appreciated the insight. We were fortunate enough to see some dolphins along the way back. James never made it seemed rushed and was willing to let us pause and enjoy the different experiences along the way.

    Most Amazing Trip!

    2hr soundside adventure morning • 4 adults

    At first, I felt I was taking a risk using that site and I was going to get scammed, but I am so happy I was wrong! We are so happy we found Captain James and he went above and beyond for our bachelorette boat ride! We let Captain James know we were booking this trip as a private dolphin tour. We saw dolphins within minutes of being on the boat and he allowed us to stay and watch them for as long as we wanted! He was so knowledgeable about their behaviors and the local dolphin. He then took us exploring for a bit and inquired about other hopes we had for the trip. We ended up on a beach to look for shells and we even were able to go for a swim. Truly this experience was everything we were hoping for and more. It was fully tailored to what we wanted to do. When we come back to OBX I will be booking with Captain James again, and referring him to other visitors!

    10/10 would recommend Captain James!

    2hr soundside adventure morning • 6 adults

    We had a fantastic experience with Captain James at Muddy Creek Adventures this week. From the moment we set out, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient, making everyone feel comfortable and welcome. Although the dolphins weren’t cooperating that day, it certainly wasn’t for lack of effort. We saw several other boats searching with no luck, and Captain James did everything he could to make the experience enjoyable. Instead of letting it feel disappointing, he turned the trip into a beautiful scenic cruise, sharing the area’s natural beauty and history and making the most of our time on the water. Even without seeing dolphins, we had an amazing time thanks to Captain James’s positive attitude and dedication. We highly recommend Muddy Creek Adventures!

    Response from Captain

    We worked for our dolphins and never found them but no matter we still had a beautiful cruise and I would love to have you all again anytime.

    AMAZING TRIP!! Captain James is the GOAT

    2hr soundside adventure midday • 6 adults

    Captain James was awesome! we went for my sister bachelorrette trip and we had a blast. Captain James took us to the perfect spots and we spotted multiple dolphins and he even offered to extend our time but unfortunately we had other prior reservations that day so we couldnt, but would deffinetely book again with him for a whole day on the boat! He was very responsible but also FUN and very kind! James had great communication and answered in a very timely manner. He was also very flexible with accomodations. HIGHLY recommend using Captain James for boat excursions in the OBX.

    Response from Captain

    I am very thankful that you all booked with me and I am thankful to have met you all, Allie, Jackie, Alex, Nicole, Amanda, and Amber. I cannot wait to see you all again.

    Highly Recommend Captain James

    3 Hr – Sand Island Picnic & Sunset • 4 adults

    Captain James was wonderful. He knew that we wanted to see dolphins, because we communicated several times before the cruise, so he drove around until he found some. He also showed us the commercial fishing boats and had a lot of knowledge of the area. It was a sunset cruise. So we leisurely cruised along the bank as we watch the sunset. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable boat ride which was exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend Captain James and will book him again the next time we are in the Outer Banks area.

    Response from Captain

    I loved having you all out and hope to see you soon.
