All of my reviews from the charter company I currently work for have been 5 stars. Some of which include: "Book it! Nick was our captain and he was awesome! Appreciated the local knowledge he shared and how engaged he was with us. Very clean boat and great inflatables for the kids. And it felt really good to support a young local who is building a business with his siblings! Best of success to Nick!" -Stefani F "We took a private charter to Crab Island in June 2023. Nick was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and professional. He met us at the dock and escorted us to the boat. The boat was clean and equipped with various inflatables. We stopped at the marina, by our request, before heading to anchor out. Nick was friendly and engaging the entire time, and made our experience incredible. Highly recommend - it was the highlight of our vacation!"- Vanessa C "Nick was absolutely amazing! This can be a very family-friendly excursion. There were 10 of us, 4 under 3 years old and 6 adults. They provided brand new life jackets for all the little ones and Nick knew his way around the entire area. He was patient, friendly, and very professional. He was constantly checking the radar and got us out of a big rain storm just in time. We were safe and covered on the boat. The large shade would have been great for a sunny day too. They had a lily pad, inflatable kayak and paddle board. We brought our own cooler and snacks. I couldn’t recommend this company more. They were exceptional!"- Susan F FAQS: Can I cancel the reservation? Yes. You can cancel your reservation for a 100% refund within 3 days of the schedule rental. What happens if there is a storm?
