Sunset Boat Cruises

Captain Ted is clearly the star of the show here, with nearly every reviewer calling him out by name in the best possible way. He brings a rare combination of warmth, local knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm to every cruise, weaving in Southport history, local folklore, and wildlife spotting while keeping everyone safe and having a great time. Bachelorette groups, families with toddlers, girls trips, and solo travelers all seem to walk away feeling like they got something special. The wildlife sightings are a real highlight, with dolphins, alligators, and shorebirds making regular appearances alongside some truly stunning sunsets. Even one reviewer who went out in bad weather raved about the experience, which says a lot about how Ted and his crew handle whatever the water throws at them. First mate Brooke also gets a shoutout for keeping a close eye on conditions and making sure guests feel comfortable throughout. If you are in the Southport or Oak Island area and looking for a memorable way to spend an evening, this is one of those experiences that tends to stick with people long after they leave.
