Bella Brunch Cruise

Matty and his crew have built something special here for water enthusiasts on Carolina Beach. The team consistently earns praise for being welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about getting people out on the water. Instructors like Rick, Jason, and Captain Summer get mentioned by name repeatedly for their calm teaching styles and ability to make both kids and adults feel comfortable. The ASA sailing courses are particularly popular, with multiple reviewers highlighting how much they learned in just a few days without it feeling like hard work. The operation offers impressive variety, from Hobie Cat rentals and kayaking to private charters and sunset cruises. Equipment is well-maintained, and the staff shows real flexibility when weather doesn't cooperate, working hard to reschedule and make things right. One reviewer with mobility concerns did have a disappointing experience feeling overlooked and unwelcome during a sunset cruise, suggesting the team could improve their accessibility awareness and training. That stands out as an exception though. Most visitors describe feeling like part of a sailing family, with staff going above and beyond, like extending charter times to ensure guests see dolphins or get the full tour they hoped for.
