Chad and Vanessa are the heart and soul of this operation, and it shows in every review. Guests consistently praise how personable, accommodating, and genuinely passionate they are about what they do. This isn't just a job for them—it's their lifestyle, and that enthusiasm translates into guests feeling like they're cruising with friends rather than hired guides. The tiki boat itself gets high marks for its tropical vibe and comfortable setup, perfect for sunset cruises or active adventures like tubing. Families especially love the versatility here. Groups spanning three generations (ages 3 to 72) have had fantastic experiences, with captains adjusting activities to suit everyone from toddlers to grandparents. Tubing, swimming at sandbars, shell hunts for kids, and even pet-friendly options make this a rare find that truly works for all ages. The little extras matter too: beach chairs, umbrellas, snacks, water, food, and even treats for dogs. Guests routinely call this the highlight of their OBX vacation and come back year after year.
Booking a tubing tour with Captain Chad and his fiance Vanessa was the highlight of our family trip to OBX! They were excellent hosts and made sure we had a fun and safe time on the water. Chad and Vanessa were both so sweet with my two year old nephew and went the extra mile to make sure he had just as much fun as the adults. Days later we still can't stop talking about how much fun we had and how we can't wait to go out on the boat with them again.
