    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.

    Brooke and Captain Ted will always be a part of one of the most memorable experiences a family—or any kind of group—can have. As you embark on your sunset cruise, hearing stories how the waters have brought so much history, from the pirate days to current times while keeping a look out for your bucket list items; Seeing Dolphins, Alligators or the Ghost ship. Brooke is constantly watching the waves, and Captain Ted does a fantastic job of keeping everyone on his boat safe. recommending things to see or do based on the current state of the water.
