I'm a big fan of the Cape Lookout area and have been several times. This would be a new one…read more Instead of the usual approach of driving to Harkers Island and then taking the ferry from Island Express over to the Cape, I thought let's do something different. Instead, I made a reservation with AB WaterSports to do their jet ski tour which departs from their dock on the Atlantic Beach causeway and goes out to the lighthouse. The setup here is very easy. Head to the website and click the below link. Choose the date, number of people and the time, pay and after filling out the necessary safety waiver, you're ready. link.areservation.com/event/abwatersport www.abwatersport.com/rental-services/jet-skis-tours Admittedly, I had a more unique experience in that it was just me going out with Noah, more on him later. The upside to that was, within reason, for two hours where did I want to go and what did I want to see? If you need help with that, AB has a large map of the area and Mike the owner can more than help you out with suggestions. I was easy and basically told Noah whatever he wanted to do and that I just wanted to head all the way to The Point on Cape Lookout, on a Google Map it would be Cape Lookout Shoals and on the way back I wanted to head close-ish to the Port of NC at Morehead City since they were busy with several ships loading at the time. No problem on either request. The ride in both directions is a hell of a lot of fun. Rippin' away dong 50-ish MPH while occasionally catching air from the wave of another passing boat or two...yeah, that's a hell of a lot of fun. Plenty of time at Cape Lookout, or if you want, Shackleford Banks or probably both for a bit to take some pictures, have water and enjoy the amazing weather. We got down to The Point, saw a pod of dolphins very close by and on the way back I got to see marine activity with two ships getting loaded at the same time. Regarding Noah...great dude. He knew all the best routes to see everything that could have been seen while always looking behind to make sure I was still there and checking up every now and again to make sure everything was going well. A+ Let me finish with this: Should you come to Atlantic Beach in general? Yes Should you come to AB Water Sports for any of their offerings ? Yes Will you have the time of your life? Resoundingly, Hell! Yes! I'll be back.

The staff was super nice, patient, attentive, and helpful. There is a large area for the jet skis and banana boat rides, a two level deck with tables for people waiting, and a shallow area near the dock with inflatables for people to play with while waiting for their turns on the equipment. The area was super nice and all the equipment was in good shape as well. The only thing I would suggest is getting a few more large adult life vests as there appeared to be few of those and a ton of 4xl-7xl size vests. We will definitely return next year!!

My biggest issue is another company I used let you ride the whole sound and gave you a map. This company limits you from the Surf City bridge to the north bridge, which is only about 30 minutes each way max, so it can get kinda boring, especially if you are with kids. No big complaints here, but for the cost I would've wanted to be able to explore and do a little more with my two hours.
