We had a wonderful evening aboard Seaside Charter with Captain Jake and would highly recommend the experience to anyone visiting the Topsail area.

Captain Jake is a true local who grew up in the area, and his love for Topsail and the surrounding waters is evident throughout the trip. His personal connection to the barrier islands, wildlife, and local history added a special touch that made the outing much more meaningful than a typical boat ride.

During our excursion, Captain Jake took us to several beautiful barrier islands and a bird sanctuary where we were able to enjoy some of the area’s natural beauty and wildlife. He was excellent at spotting and pointing out dolphins, ospreys, and green herons, making sure everyone had an opportunity to see and appreciate them. His knowledge of the local ecosystem and wildlife made the trip both fun and educational.

The boat itself was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. It provided a relaxing setting to enjoy the scenery and spend quality time together as a family. One thing that really stood out was how great Captain Jake was with the children in our group. He was patient, engaging, and made sure the little ones felt included and excited throughout the trip.

If you’re looking for a relaxing family outing, a chance to see local wildlife, or simply a beautiful evening on the water, Seaside Charter is an excellent choice. Captain Jake’s knowledge, professionalism, and genuine passion for the area made for a memorable experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the water and would not hesitate to book another trip with him the next time we’re in Topsail.

We had an amazing time! I’ve been coming down to this region for 20 years and I’n still amazed that there is so much still to discover. Jacob showed us a little piece of paradise on Saturday. We could not be more grateful to Jacob and his first mate Ashley. They were so friendly and wonderful to connect with. Great conversation, great recommendations and they wouldn’t let us lift a finger. We are so excited for next time and will 100% refer them in the future.
