The business operates a custom-built Tiki pontoon boat, the OBX Tiki Time, which serves as the platform for both private charters and scheduled dolphin tours. Its offerings include a private charter option well suited for family reunions, weddings, and special events, and a two-hour dolphin tour that invites guests of all ages to observe dolphins in their natural habitat.
