We got to take them out ourselves and were given some suggestions of routes to take. The owners were kind and helpful and happy to answer questions. It seemed like the jet skis were the hot commodity though, with people having to wait for jet skis to be returned before they could go out. This might've just been due to the internet outage not allowing for online reservations.

While in Rodanthe, NC my family rented two double kayaks and had a blast paddling around the sound…read more This is an excellent adventure to take with kids. The sound is 1' to 3' deep so tip overs (if they were to happen) are not going to happen in deep waters. The kayaks are light - my wife nor I had any issues being the main paddler - we each had a kid in helping. We saw some fish, pelicans, and many sea gulls during our two hour rental. We dropped anchor (me holding onto the kayak) and got out and walked / played in the water midway as well. See my pics, this was a great time in the calm sound side waters. They close at 5pm most days so plan accordingly.

Nice owner and chilled worker, peaceful campsite by the sound. Good and roomy outdoor showers…read more(indoor showers are eh). Rental rate for wave runner is slightly discounted if staying on camp site ($55 for half hour jet ski but can't go too far north/south of the sound) Stayed at camp site #7 which has a view of the sound. Strong wind coming in from ocean side so make sure you have something solid to prevent the tent from blowing in (I used coolers).

Great Day & very friendly its always fun to see this pier…read more They are great with kids and families.

I visited the Rodanthe Pier when in the Outer Banks (OBX), celebrating my 40th birthday! I believe…read moreI paid $3 to walk on the pier to sightsee. There were a plethora of fishermen and fisherwomen. I was astounded by how many catches everyone got, in the hour I spent on the pier. Many different types of fish were caught using different lures, fishing rods, and homemade contraptions. There was a shop, where I paid my entry fee, that had fresh blood worms, fishing tackle, t-shirts, and anything else you needed to be great. The view was amazing and humbling. I think I started to get a little sea sick because the pier was rocking as the waves hit it The further I walked to the end of the pier, I said a little prayer that my knees/legs wouldn't give out on me or I wouldn't lose my breakfast, in front of all these people I will be back and enjoyed every moment!

If you have one free night - take the sunset cruise!…read more Have visited the island for years, and just discovered this boat Miss Alexandra and crew - Captain Jay and Amazing Antoine. Instructions: 1. Step on boat 2. Relax and enjoy life on the water 3.Forget about land problems! I got to experience lifestyle I don't normally live. Gorgeous 26 ' sail boat and trip that provides amazing views of the outer banks shoreline and sunset. Truly magical experience, and I use the word magical sparingly... This trip is something i'll remember forevs, Great time with family and friends. Amazing photo opps, I was even guilty of taking selfies. Champagne in stemless glasses. Non alcoholic beverages available also. Crackers, cheese and fruit for your snacking pleasure. If that's not enough, you can bring your own. Captain Jay is knowledgeable and endearing. Doesn't let you worry about a thing while you are on his ship. If you are nice, he'll even let you drive! I would go again, if he wasn't booked already..... Sunset cruise duration ~= 2 hours Capacity: 6 http://www.avonharborsailing.com/

The boats are well-maintained. They are used Outer Banks rental boats, so don't anticipate pristine conditions; expect functional and dependable. The reservation process is fast and easy, and the owners (Farris and Chrissy) are friendly and live on the Island which is a plus if you have problems. For experienced boaters, you'll find Farris super easy to work with. If you're inexperienced or have never navigated the Pamlico Sound, I strongly recommend a check ride with Farris. He'll determine how much attention you need. This is a solid outfit, and they are flexible and will go out of their way to meet your needs. Super pleased with my experience!

We did both the half day fishing trip and the sunset dolphin cruise. The trips went well…read more Keep in mind that these boating trips are highly dependent on the weather and what may seem like good condition conditions on land are not always the same out on the ocean. The trip can get canceled, so it's best to book them during a time where you'll still be able to reschedule if needed. Both our fishing trip and the sunset cruise were canceled due to poor conditions, but because I booked them earlier in the week, we were able to reschedule and still do both later in the week. My daughter (who is only 9) got sea sick on the fishing trip, which was a bummer but the crew and other passengers were very kind and helpful. There needed up being several sick people on the trip. It seems like a norm for this kind of thing. I guess you don't know until you try it. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't more info about how long it would take to get out of the sound and how long you would actually get to fish. Of the 4 hours we booked, we fished for maybe a little over an hour. It took 1 hour to get out and 1 hour to get back. Then there is moving around in between. My son loved it though. He caught several fish and was able to take a couple home. Overall, it was an interesting experience and I would take my son again. The sunset dolphin cruise was great. The crew was awesome and the music was nice. We didn't see any dolphin but I knew booking that it was a maybe. I'm a glass half full kind of person, so it depends on your expectations and how you handle things. Just cruising around on a boat with the sun going down was super nice. I was a little worried because it said smoking was allowed on the boat, but thankfully no one was smoking because it would've made me sick and I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. Another cool highlight of the trip was that on the sunset cruise there was a kid fishing off the back (a family member of the captain I assume) and he allowed my son to fish with him. A fish was caught, and he told my son he could take it home. The captain even fillet the fish at the dock for us. It was such a fun and unique experience. Everyone run Miss Hatteras was great!

I recommend you de-stress by going for a trip on the Miss Hatteras! She is a fishing boat that sails out of the picturesque Oden Dock in Hatteras, N.C. Our leader for the trip was Captain KP Scott, also the owner, and is supported by first mates Chase and Wolfie. Natalie Scott is also a Captain but most frequently is the one booking your trip over the phone and does all kind of other important tasks. All were friendly, helpful and professional. The half day trip is approximately six or seven miles off shore. Trigger fish and black sea bass are most commonly caught. Please be generous with these hard-working mates, 25 percent tip based on the trip cost is a reasonable gratuity. Highly recommend the Miss Hatteras!
