Private boat, Captain, Tubes
Experience a private tubing charter on the Outer Banks. Ride at your comfort level with USCG-licensed captains and space for up to six on the boat at a time.
Arrive 30 minutes before your appointment to complete waivers and payment if needed. Tubes hold up to three riders; the boat holds a maximum of six at a time, and larger groups can rotate riders. Trips may be rescheduled or refunded if weather prevents your ride.
Are reservations recommended?
Yes. Due to popularity and limited space, reservations are highly recommended.
My kids might be a little nervous, how intense is the ride?
Safety comes first. Captains provide instructions and hand signals. Thumbs up means faster, thumbs down means slower, so each ride matches the rider's comfort level.
I have more than 6 people that want to tube, can they still go?
Yes. The boat takes up to six people at a time with up to three riders on the tube. Larger groups can be accommodated by booking additional time slots.
What if the weather is not conducive at my scheduled time?
Staff monitor conditions and will return to the dock if needed. If you are unable to go, they will try to reschedule; if not possible, you will receive a full refund.
What is the parking situation?
There is plenty of free public parking.
Strict 48-hour cancellation policy. No changes or refunds for cancellations made less than 48 hours before the start time.

With an exceptional reputation built on nearly 900 reviews, this outfitter consistently delivers memorable water adventures in the Outer Banks. The staff genuinely stands out here – guides like Gabe, John, and Jason earn repeated praise for being personable, patient with beginners, and going the extra mile to maximize fun. Whether you're looking at jet ski tours, parasailing, pontoon rentals, or dolphin watching excursions, you'll find a team that knows the local waters and creates a welcoming atmosphere for families and first-timers. The jet ski tours get particularly enthusiastic feedback, with guests loving the multi-mile courses through John's Ditch where you can really open up the throttle. Guides notice when groups are having a blast and adjust accordingly, sometimes adding extra passes through favorite spots. The dolphin tours regularly deliver up-close encounters that feel magical, and even late in the season, the owner will bring out additional equipment to accommodate larger groups. The flexibility and attention to detail – like capturing photos even when guests forget to ask – shows a crew that genuinely cares about creating great experiences.
Gabe was amazing on our tour even being so late into the season. Took his time and showed the newbie’s how to safely operate and have fun during their time. And shoutout to the owner who put 4 more jets in the water to accommodate our group so late into the season!
