About this activity

Start your private boat adventure in Wrightsville Beach by meeting your captain at the dock and setting the vibe for your perfect day on the water. Cruise scenic waterways, hop between uninhabited barrier islands, watch for dolphins playing nearby, and take in some of the most beautiful coastal views around.

Drop anchor at a gorgeous sandbar or secluded beach to swim, shell hunt, lounge in the sun, float in the water, or simply soak it all in.

Your private charter can also include a fun stop at a waterfront restaurant or beach bar for lunch, drinks, or a little dockside fun along the way.

This 4-hour private charter is the sweet spot—plenty of time to island hop, explore, swim, and truly relax without feeling rushed. Beach chairs and a float pad are included to make your day even easier, and you’re welcome to BYOB and bring any food or drinks you’d like. A cooler stocked with ice is provided, so just show up ready for a fun day on the water.
