    Captain Charlie has clearly found his calling leading adventures around Carolina Beach and the Cape Fear River. Families rave about his genuine warmth and ability to connect with kids of all ages - he regularly lets little ones take the wheel, which becomes an instant vacation highlight. His knowledge of the local ecosystem, fossil history, and area wildlife impresses adults just as much, with many mentioning his fascinating stories and sharp eye for spotting shark teeth and fossils. The shark tooth hunting excursions consistently deliver results, with groups finding anywhere from dozens to over 100 teeth per trip. Beyond the treasure hunting, guests appreciate the wildlife encounters woven into each outing. Dolphins, alligators, and local birds make frequent appearances, and Charlie's passion for the environment shines through. He's described as accommodating and flexible with last-minute bookings and weather concerns. Whether you've got toddlers, teens, or grandparents in tow, this comes across as a genuinely memorable experience that families describe as vacation highlights worth repeating.
