Capt. Rick and First Mate Amy were knowledgeable about the islands and the history surrounding them. They were very friendly and easy to chat with. Just being on the water on a nice day was worth the time and money.

Matt's boat service provided an unforgettable day of adventure and relaxation. From the moment we stepped aboard, Matt's warm demeanor set the tone for a fantastic experience. Throughout the day, he not only served as our captain but also as a companion, making the journey feel like a casual outing with a friend rather than a formal excursion. Exploring the islands under Matt's guidance was a highlight of the trip. His knowledge of the area and willingness to share interesting stories about each stop enriched the experience. The atmosphere onboard was lively, thanks to Matt's willingness to listen to our choice of music and engaging conversation. Whether we were cruising along the coastline or anchored at a picturesque spot, the ambiance was always upbeat and inviting. 12/10 recommend!! Thanks so much Matt!!!

My time was scheduled for 1300 and there was no tour available. Mattie the captain took us out on a smaller boat for a tour and it was amazing. His understanding to our long travel and time restrictions were accommodating. Great experience and customer service

We loved it so much we did it again! The crew on both trips were amazing! We went to two different islands and stopped and explored both. Our kids were able to swim, play in the sand and collect all the seashells you could imagine! We saw dolphins, crabs, jellyfish and sand dollars. We will definitely do it again when we come back! Just make sure you bring water, sunscreen, wear your swimsuits and any sand toys for the kids.

This was our first visit to Wrightsville beach and we enjoyed the Island Hopper Cruise. Mimi, our guide and the captain were so friendly and informative of the area. Masonboro Island Reserve was our favorite stop. It’s such a lovely and quiet island and we had a good amount of time to enjoy the scenery and beach.
