We had the best day with Captain Mark. We went to Shackleford Banks for my mother’s birthday. He is very knowledgeable about the area and went out of his way to make it a great day for us. Highly recommend using Captain Mark for your next boating adventure!
Best day on the water. We saw 14 horses, 7 dolphins and so many whole large shells! Captain Mark is a great guide and helped my handicapped husband so much!!!! We had him and 2 little ones too and it was amazing!
A Fantastic Day with Captain Mark! We recently took a repeat BWB (Bulls, Water, Beach) tour with Captain Mark from H2O Captain, and it was just as fantastic as our first trip. Right from the start, Captain Mark was on time and prepared, waiting for us to arrive. As we coasted out to the Intracoastal Waterway, he gave a detailed safety briefing while also pointing out the sights we were passing along the way. We crossed the inlet and quickly arrived at our destination to find a group of wild horses waiting for us. After watching them for a bit, we took a walk further into the island. Thanks to Hurricane Erin, there was a flooded area we had to cross, which added a bit of a unique adventure to our trek! We continued on to the beach and were amazed by the incredible number of beautiful shells we found. What truly made the trip exceptional was Captain Mark's vast knowledge. He not only identified the different types of shells we found but also provided fascinating information about the wild horses and the island's ecosystem. We even spotted more horses on our way back to the boat! The excitement didn't stop there. On our return to the marina, we enjoyed a show from a family of dolphins near Beaufort. The trip was a perfect blend of adventure, learning, and natural beauty. Captain Mark is a wonderful guide, and we would absolutely book with him again. We're already planning our next trip down!
We had the best time ever out on the water with H2O Captain! The boat ride was beautiful and the sea shell hunting was so much fun! Captain Mark was professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. Highly recommend this experience!
My family did two trips with Captain Mark over the past week and had a wonderful experience. Mark was very knowledgeable and had lots of great info to share about the areas we were seeing, shells, the wild horses— everything. He was also super patient and flexible with my kiddos and my older parents who needed some help with getting on and off the boat. His boat was very comfortable and he made sure everyone was safe and happy the whole trip. We had wanted to have a customized experience and it was absolutely perfect! We will be back again next year to do another trip with Captain Mark!
