We got lucky and found dolphins right away. So after watching them a while, our captain took up on a tour of some local fisheries. He also provided some awesome history of the area.

Great experience. We didnt expect to get so close to the dolphins. They were right up against the boat by a few feet. Daniel was very good host! Funny jokes, personable and friendly. Went around taking pictures for people and very helpful. We didnt have kids with our party but another family did and Daniel gifted them toy dolphins for the trip. Clear they have tons of experience and knowledge on the area. He and the other captain communicated with others in the area and help one another which is nice to see the neighborly atmosphere. The boat has a... READ MORE

The day we were to go out the captain himself called to let us know they hadn't seen dolphins that day and offered us a refund if we chose not to go out. Wr have kids who would have complained so we took him up on canceling, but the fact they did this for us shows a great deal of integrity and customer service. I will dedinitely be going on a sunset cruise with them when I get back to OBX.

My family booked a dolphin sunset cruise trip, however, minutes before trip, I received a call from Carter stating that the trip before mine there were no dolphins. He explained if I wanted to still cruise or he'll refund me. I spoke with the family and we've decided not to pursue seeing our children was all in for the cruise and dolphins. Despite not going on the cruise I have much admiration for Carter and his company ethics. He did not have to call me to inform me of no sighting of dolphins but he did. He also refunded... READ MORE
