It was very easy to coordinate with Marc on setting up jet skiing for my husband's birthday gift…read more We had a fabulous time on the jet skis with Cole as our guide, he was great about communicating all that we needed to watch for on this busy 4th of July. The variety of terrain was amazing as we went fast through the salt water flats and slowly maneuvered through tight turns in back water channels near Swansboro. I grew up coming here every Fourth of July and I never saw all the sights we saw today - wonderful way to spend the 4th and a fantastic birthday activity!

In the past, we have rented kayaks from Pogie's and have always loved renting through them. Pogie's was AMAZING to work with both during this trip and in the past.

They were able to accommodate our larger group and went above and beyond to make it a fun and successful outing. I highly recommend this place!

We brought a small cooler so we didn't get thirsty ... carry on carry off keep it clean! The tours are very reasonable $20-$25 a person on a smaller charming boat. I'd get advance tickets if you want to do this tour maybe holds 10-12 people, we had 7. I can't believe I didn't get a photo of the boat, ooops!

We were so exited to take the boat tour and see the wild horses. Unfortunately we didn't get to…read moresee any horses on this particular day. The tour guide said it was probably because it had been too hot and humid for the horses. We did get to see lots of birds. My only compliant about the tour was that it was very difficult to hear the tour guide over the sound of the boat engine. Waterbug Tours takes reservations and walk ups. I believe it was $18 a person for a 45-60 minute tour by boat that takes you out to the island and through the harbor. The inside of the boat was cleaned and sanitized between trips that took place every hour. I had a great time and learned a lot about Beaufort. I really wish we had been able to see some horses but that's not their fault. I'd totally take the tour again.

The weather was great and Capt David was better. He kept is wailing bluefish and Spanish mackerel. He was awesome with the kids - taking time to instruct them on fishing and provide some history.

When we got back to the dock he cleaned the fish and took them into the Marina Cafe. The cafe prepared the fish along with fries, hush puppies and slaw - all part of the charter. What a great day!
