We were staying in Surf City for our annual post-holiday family trip, and we knew of Drifter from a…read morefriend who suggested an eco-tour as a way to get out on the water to see some sea life up close rather than watching it from the deck of the home where we were staying. There were 6 of us aged 22 to 80+ and we could not have been more pleased with our time on the boat with Captain Ashley. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, the dolphins were kind enough to jump around in the ocean while we watched, birds swooped here and there, and we stopped on an island for a little beach/sand time before heading back to the marina. Pictured here is my mom who has probably never been on a boat smaller than a cruise liner who had the time of her life. Hopefully we'll get her back out when cozy beanies aren't required and she can frolic on an island and swim in the ocean with her grandkids and great grandkids. Thank you, Drifter. We'll be back!

For only $1, I was able to walk the pier and watch several fish being pulled from the ocean. The complex consists of a bait/fishing shop, gift shop and small grill serving breakfast sandwiches and hot dogs and the pier. The staff in the shop are friendly and prices to rent a fishing pole are reasonable, but you need to bring your own gear. It costs only $12 to rent a pole and fish for 24 hours and the pier is open 24/7. I walked out on the pier and was mesmerized watching the people with their poles. I saw a ray and blue pulled in and released. The people were friendly in a Southern charm way. The views from the pier are lovely. I would like to return for sunset photos. The pier has fish cleaning stations and benches to sit. A lot of birds hang out hoping for some fish. Worth a visit if you love the ocean and fishing.

THIS GUY SOLD MY TICKETS EVEN THOUGH WE HAD GUARANTEED RESERVATIONS WITH CREDIT CARD!!…read more I made reservations on the Queen Jean and guaranteed the reservation for six with my credit card. The captain said that would hold my reservation but we would need to pay in cash. He told me the boat was behind the Assembly Building. He said we had to pay in cash but the credit card would guarantee we would have six spots on the boat! We also had to be there half hour before sailing. Sailing was at 9:00. We were there at 8:30 with a lot of other folks. There was a group of six people that came in about 8:50 that were from Kentucky! After going over safety instructions the Captain told everyone to show their tickets and board. That was the first we heard of needing a ticket. He never told me over the phone we needed tickets. I went up to him and asked him where we get our tickets and he asked my name. I told him and he said, "I sold your tickets". I was shocked! On my way back to the house he texted me and said he was sorry. Now if he had my phone number why didn't he have the courtesy to call me before he "sold" my tickets? My grandchildren had looked forward to this all week and by selling our tickets he ruined our day! I would never go on this fishing boat!! I would not recommend them at all!!

The half day fishing trip was $60 a person and leaves at 9 and comes back at 2. Their website actually says its $70 but we paid $60. Warning: they don't take credit cards! But they took my husband and brother in laws driver license as "collateral" that they would find an ATM on our return and pay when the trip was over, which we did. We went out for about an hour and a half on a beautiful boat ride with about 50 people on board. There is a boat captain, two mates and a guy running the galley kitchen. They were all very nice and accommodating. You didn't have to take anything with you fishing and they would even take your fish off and bait your hook if needed. We stopped at three different holes before heading back. Our party of 4 caught 9 good size fish that fed our family of 7 dinner that night. Actually 3 of us caught 9 keepers, my poor sister was pretty sea sick most of the trip. If you're prone to sea sickness either take a lot of Dramamine or maybe sit this one out. Overall it was a great trip. Very nice crew. Very professional.

The trip surpassed all of our expectations! Capt. AJ and Denny worked hard to make sure everyone was involved and having fun. When a few of our crew were feeling a little seasick from the choppy waters, they had ginger ale and saltines on hand, as well as peanut M&Ms for the kids. We caught over a dozen fish - mostly, mackerel, including a 30 lb King Mackerel that my 8 year old daughter reeled in. What a blast! Capt. Britni cleaned and delivered our fish within hours! We made some amazing fish tacos that night, and we brought several pounds home to Ohio! We'll definitely be fishing with you all again! Thanks so much!

I stopped by for an inexpensive cooler to carry some seafood home. They had the perfect cooler for only $5. The clerk was helpful and friendly.

They rent surf boards, paddle boards, bikes and sell fishing licenses and can even set up fishing charters. They are locally owned. They offer free parking. I'll be back on my next visit to Surf City.

I am a novice and was asking some questions about what would work and what is running and what type of equipment would I need to begin a new hobby, on the bays, shore fishing and maybe someday kayak fishing. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable and I was impressed with the entirety of the store. They also have a large selection of clothing and hats upstairs. Good prices good time.

They ask the clients ahead of time what type of action they are looking to experience. They find out your skill level and prepare the proper adventure for your day at sea. They have the experience to find the fish and they keep in mind at all times the safety and well-being of all passengers on board. We are especially grateful for the high energy of both the captain and his first mate. They always were quick to assist with landing the fish, removing the catch and rebating our hooks. It was an amazing adventure, relaxing, and exhilarating excitement both at the same time. And never a fear or sense of danger truly refreshing. We had an amazing 4 hour excursion and Caught plenty fish it will be an awesome memory for a long time. We hope to be able to do it again soon. Thank you to Captain Greg & First mate Ashley thank you! My advice to anyone looking for a firsthand experience with a first rate crew? Reel Cranky Charters is the real deal! Enjoy deep sea fishing with the pros!
