My family and I enjoyed 2h on the Currituck Sound in a flying scot during our OBX vacation. We looked specifically for a cloudy day with a moderate to... read more fresh breeze. The checking process was efficient and the pier crew set up the boat to our wishes. They also asked appropriate questions given that we wanted to sail overpowered with an unreefed mainsail, even though the gusts occasionally exceeded 20kts. The pier crew had an assistant in the water, which we haven’t experienced at other rental locations. This could be helpful for less experienced parties not used to sail smoothly all the way to a pier. Except for a loose tiller extension attachment, which was easily fixed, the boat was in excellent condition. This includes the sails, which had better shapes than those I’ve seen at other locations.

Amazing time. Had never been to OBX before, so had no idea where to jet ski and inner tube. Randomly found these guys, and it was an incredible... read more experience.

My wife, mother-in-law, and I took a 10:30 am Catamaran tour on a Saturday. Despite the heavy traffic getting there, we thoroughly enjoyed a beautiful and relaxing boat ride! Billy,... read more our captain, was welcoming and very informative. I loved learning about sailing from him. Most of the time, we lounged on the front of the boat and took in the views. Billy navigated around the shallow sections of water and offered to anchor and let us swim. The staff helped my mother-in-law (replaced knee and hip and all!) to get around the boat safely and comfortably. We couldn't ask for more! Had a blast
