It was easy to book with this company, check in was simple and in a cute little town. Parking is close by. We went on the sunset tour and it was beautiful. We saw about 20 dolphins and the guide didn't really have to take the boat out far. He was was great at educating everyone on dolphins and was funny. There were lots of little boys on this trip and they asked about 100 questions that really didn't fully pertain to the trip itself but the guide was super patient with the kids and answered most questions. The sunset that night wasn't great since it was cloudy but it was still fairly pretty. The guide also took us back into an area where high end boats were docked and spoke a lot about that area which was really interesting. Overall money well spent! I didn't take pictures of the dolphins- too hard to do, but captured a few that I have posted below. Even if you don't see 20 dolphins like we did, the views are worth the trip! Also, if the guide suggests trying Frosties for some ice cream afterwards- DO IT!! Absolutely delicious!!

Nice way to spend an afternoon…read more After beach, sand, sun, beach, sand, sun, it was a nice break to do something different. Our neighbors at the house we rented suggested dolphin watching and recommended Capt. Stuart Wescott and his tour. Wasn't too happy that I had to travel down to Manteo (car travel in the Outer Banks can be murder - worst than the GW bridge in rush hour). Luckily, it wasn't as bad as I had feared. The quaint little town of Manteo was an added bonus. Nice seaport-esque village with nice quaint little stores. As for the cruise itself, you actually sail with Capt Wescott. He was very nice and knowledgeable. Told silly jokes to keep the voyage light hearted. Sold drinks at a very reasonable price. The bathroom was also very convenient and clean. Strangely, this seems to be a selling point compared to their competitors. Saw many dolphins. Very docile and peaceful. Don't expect any flips or spins or twists. This isn't a SeaWorld show. The captain was very patient. Kept us out there a while until everyone had their fill of watching dolphins swim. After the initial excitement of finding and seeing the dolphins, there's only so much more you can watch, at least for me. On the downside, it is a touch expensive for a ferry ride but comparable to everyone else. Overall, a nice alternative If you need a break from the beach to let the sunburn recover.

Like other said, it seems like the honey hole were all busted, not a lot, all small fishes; pig fish, sea mow(?)...only went to two places, then big rain came down for the reminder of the trip (1-1 & 1/2 hour). I thought the captain would check the radar and took us some brighter or non-heavy -raining places... It's a long trip back to the seaport, several kids got seasick. Near the end, boat was stuck twice! Passengers were ordered to one end of the boat, so it could be out of mud or sand bottom. Smokes were coming from the engine room. At one point, everyone on the boat was thinking about life jacket and ocean swimming under heavy rains! Finally comes the rescue, a small towboat, got us out of trouble and safely back to the shore. What an experience, almost like one of these disastrous movie scenes! The crew (Cameli and James?) did a great job, teaching us fishing, recognizing the fishes, and helping with tangled fish lines. They helped to rescue the boat, and offer some comfort to little kids and calm them down. It could be a way-better experience if some preparation were done, like reading the radar or better designing the trip route.
