  Most Amazing Trip!

  2hr soundside adventure morning on July 18, 2026 • 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 on July 16, 2026 • 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!

  AMAZING TRIP!! Captain James is the GOAT

  2hr soundside adventure midday on July 11, 2026 • 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.

  Highly Recommend Captain James

  3 Hr – Sand Island Picnic & Sunset on July 9, 2026 • 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.

  We had a great experience!

  3 Hr – Soundside Adventure PM on July 24, 2026 • 5 adults

  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!
