No experience necessary

Captain Bill Cones was raised on the Outer Banks where a lifelong love for the water turned into a full-fledged career in watersports. With over 20 years of experience in jet ski rentals and tours to sailing instruction and boat operations, he brings a seasoned understanding of safety, along with a genuine knack for taking care of folks.

Captain Bill personally runs parasail trips, keeping safety tight and the atmosphere light. With his easygoing nature, quick humor, and a few good local stories, he turns every outing into something special—never rushed, never ordinary, and always done right.

When he’s not working, you’ll find Bill out on the water kiteboarding, boating, or spearfishing, living the very lifestyle he shares with his guests. His world revolves around his family, his craft, and his loyal dog, Bro, who’s either by his side or waiting for him to come back ashore.

If you’re looking for the real Outer Banks experience, he’s your guy. Around here, you’re not just another guest; you’re treated like kin. As Bill would say with a smile, “Y’all deserve it.” 🐾
