Chillin' Charters NC
Discover the beauty of North Carolina's coast on a 1.5-hour sightseeing cruise with Chillin' Charters NC. Perfect for families and friends, this trip offers stunning island views and wildlife encounters in a relaxed setting.
Chillin' Charters NC is a licensed private charter operator offering short, customizable boat excursions along North Carolina’s coastal waterways. The company specializes in three core experiences: Customized Tours ranging from 1.5 to 6 hours with snacks and drinks included; a 1.5-hour Sightseeing Cruise designed for up to six passengers; and two-hour Sandbar & Island Outings that deliver beach time, wildlife viewing, and shell collecting.
Chillin' Charters NC emphasizes small-group boating with an experienced captain who navigates local islands, sandbars, and wildlife-rich areas. Customized Tours allow guests to set the pace — focusing on dolphin sightings, occasional horse viewing in coastal habitats, island exploration, or simply relaxing on the water. The Sightseeing Cruise is structured for a concise, scenic outing suitable for families and small groups who want a reliable 90-minute experience. Sandbar & Island Outings concentrate on beach time, shallow-water play, and short walks for shelling and wildlife observation.
Safety and comfort are consistent priorities: vessels accommodate small groups, and passengers are asked to bring personal essentials for the shorter cruises. Chillin' Charters NC positions itself as a local, flexible charter option for visitors seeking personalized coastal experiences without large tour crowds. The company’s trip options are straightforward, easy to book, and focused on delivering memorable time on the water.
