Each charter includes a licensed captain and first mate, all necessary equipment, and complimentary on‑site parking where available.

Itineraries are tailored to guest interests: fishing, snorkeling, island hopping, wildlife viewing, or sunset cruises. Guests are invited to bring personal snacks and beverages while crew members manage navigation, safety, and gear. The fleet’s two vessel types allow both day adventures and overnight comfort, with the Carolina Classic offering cabin accommodations and the Sailfish optimized for shallow-water fishing and quick island access.
