    Captain Ted has built something special here, with travelers consistently describing him as knowledgeable, accommodating, and genuinely fun to be around. His communication starts well before your trip and continues through perfectly timed departures and thoughtful touches like bringing a wagon to help with your gear. The boats are clean and spacious, and Ted strikes that rare balance of sharing interesting local history and wildlife facts without overwhelming you with constant chatter. Families love how safe their kids feel, while groups of friends appreciate his flexibility in customizing routes and activities. What really stands out is Ted's versatility. Yes, the sunset cruises are stunning (especially in late November when the air is crisp), but he also runs water taxi services to Bald Head Island, sandbar trips, and has even helped guests during medical emergencies. Multiple reviewers mention this is becoming a yearly tradition for their families, which speaks volumes. One small note: if having an onboard bathroom is important to you, confirm which boat you'll be on when booking, as not all vessels have this feature. Otherwise, expect the kind of experience that becomes a highlight of your trip.

    We had an amazing time on a sunset cruise out of Southport with Captain Ted. It was a cold evening but we got to see such an amazing sunset. We brought blankets and stayed warm. Highly recommend.
