Bull River Marina
Shark tooth hunting here has turned into a repeat trip for many visitors, and it's easy to see why. Guides like Nick, Kara, and Captain Buddy bring a genuine enthusiasm and deep knowledge to every outing, helping guests find far more than just shark teeth. Fossils from mastodons, sperm whales, and even megalodon show up regularly, along with old cobblestones and pottery shards that make the whole experience feel like a real treasure hunt. First-timers consistently note that they were skeptical before going but came away with handfuls of finds. Beyond the shark tooth excursions, the marina also runs sunset cruises, water taxi service to Daufuski Island, and dolphin-spotting trips, all with the same well-reviewed crew. One reviewer noted the experience may work better for kids 12 and up, since the hunting involves spotting very small items across a large beach. Wearing water shoes is a tip that comes up more than once. Overall, the vibe is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun, and the high volume of repeat visitors says a lot about what to expect.
Let me start with staff members were amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly! Any and all issues I had were my own and in no part due to them. They were very welcoming yet respectful of my service dog as well! I only mention the issues at all as a warning to any other disabled/differently-abled people who may go. The sand is very difficult to walk on if you have any mobility concerns, and getting on/off the boat is not the easiest either. Again, staff were amazing and assisted as much as they could. Was just a hard realization that it was a higher level of difficulty than I imagined. Thank you all!
