About
At our new Gallant's Channel location, you can wind down your evening starting with the easiest parking in Beaufort, and then continue on to see a beautiful sunset from your own Tiki Boat. After the heat of the day, the sunset on the Crystal Coast is often a welcome and beautiful relief. Due to the unique alignment of the Southern Outer Banks, the sunset isn’t directly behind the beach, allowing some more time to enjoy the rays and possibly a beverage. Our expert captains can take you to the best locations to watch the sunset or squeeze those last few minutes of sunlight in your day, regardless of what your desire is.
