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!
