  Awesome way to Spend a day!

  Family Excursion on July 12, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 children

  Great trip for any family. Andrew was awesome with the kids and made sure they knew what to do and helped them any time they needed. Loaded up on crabs and clams! Must do for any family wanting to get out and try something different.

  A must for kids!

  Family Excursion on June 15, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

  This trip was perfect our family (3 kids ages 8, 6, and 4). Andrew is super down to earth and great with the kids. We found lots of clams and crabs. The kids will be talking about this trip for months. I cannot recommend it enough!

  Wide Ranging exposure to NC Coastal Environment

  Family Excursion on August 13, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

  Captain Andrew was great. Prompt, courteous, safe and importantly a comfortable captain who knows how to manage a boat to minimize wake and wave influence for guests. We raked for clams (lots and big), picked shells off of Bear Island, combed a shoal for sharks teeth, pulled crab pots where we saw stone, spider and blue crabs, and finished with pulling tumbled stones from the dredging of the intracoastal waterway. Lots to do in five hours. Don't forget to brings snacks and drinks and reapply your sunscreen!

  Fun and Unique Day

  Family Excursion on July 8, 2025 • 6 adults • 4 children

  We had a great day on the water with Captain Andrew. We wanted to do something that would appeal to both 2 adults and kids (12f, 10m, 6m, 4f) and this trip was a hit. We started the day with clamming which none of us had done before, and after a quick lesson we all had a great time finding clams which we could keep, and some scallops and oysters we couldn't keep due to regularions. This was followed by a trip to a few islands: one for shell hunting and another for shark tooth hunting. The kids had plenty of time for this and playing in the water. Captain Andrew even took the time to teach us how to use our cast net which one of the kids wanted to bring along. When we were done hunting for teeth and collecting shells we went back to check the crab pots, seeing dolphins on the way. We hauled.in the crab pots and found an unexpected variety of crabs and fish. There were blue crabs, stone crabs, spider crabs, calico crabs, and hermit crabs in the pot, and we had already seen fiddler.and ghost crabs earlier. We ended up taking home 50 clams and about a dozen crabs and claws. Steamed everything up for dinner. Candidate z Andrew was knowledgeable. Informative, patient, and engaging. Everyone had a great day.

  Awesome experience!

  Family Excursion on August 8, 2023 • 3 adults • 1 child

  Andrew has a great setup that is comfortable yet built for purpose. Within minutes of launching we were shuffling through the Bogue mud trying to feel out clams with our toes. Ended up doing pretty well I think. A nice boat ride under the E.I. bridge and off to find sharks teeth. Found out stingrays have teeth also! Moved a bit to a nice beach to shell hunt and then off to check crab pots. Listen to the man and don’t have your fingers in the wrong place is all I can say😉 Overall it was a great experience. Our six year old loved it and was absolutely exhausted once we were done. Thank you again to Captain Andrew! You’ve got an amazing thing going that I would recommend to anyone
