Chad and Vanessa are the heart and soul of this operation, and it shows in every review. Guests consistently praise how personable, accommodating, and genuinely passionate they are about what they do. This isn't just a job for them—it's their lifestyle, and that enthusiasm translates into guests feeling like they're cruising with friends rather than hired guides. The tiki boat itself gets high marks for its tropical vibe and comfortable setup, perfect for sunset cruises or active adventures like tubing. Families especially love the versatility here. Groups spanning three generations (ages 3 to 72) have had fantastic experiences, with captains adjusting activities to suit everyone from toddlers to grandparents. Tubing, swimming at sandbars, shell hunts for kids, and even pet-friendly options make this a rare find that truly works for all ages. The little extras matter too: beach chairs, umbrellas, snacks, water, food, and even treats for dogs. Guests routinely call this the highlight of their OBX vacation and come back year after year.
Vanessa and Chad went out of their way to make our cruise a memorable one. They went above and beyond with hospitality. It felt like going on a day trip with old friends. They anticipated our needs and tailored our trip to the vibe we wanted. We relaxed on the sandbar (highly recommend). We drove about 40 minutes to get here and it was 10000000% worth the drive. 12/10 recommend and would do again!
