The cruise takes you only in protected waters, not in the open ocean, and each destination is full of interesting and captivating history and legend.  From the cemeteries of Shackleford Banks to the heroic tales of the families of Harkers Island, your Captain will provide the colorful local knowledge to accompany the stunning visual landscapes.

And if that wasn't enough, you'll enjoy a captivating trip down Taylors Creek and along the Historic Beaufort NC Waterfront, which was just voted the "Coolest Small Town in America" by a national website.

The Original and Best Guided Tour on the Island

 

Take a boat tour that leaves from Beaufort NC.  It starts with a 15 minute ferry ride over to the pristine Outer Banks Island of Shackleford Banks, which is part of the Cape Lookout National Seashore.  There you will be introduced to the Wild Horses of Shackleford Banks. 

 

This free roaming herd is believed to have descended from Horses that were brought here roughly 400 years ago, and still survive as one of the last isolated groups of wild horses in the US.  You will help your guide track the horses and see first hand the fascinating behavior of horses in the wild,  a rare experience with nature that you'll never forget.  Bring your camera for pictures that will forever remind you of this amazing place and its fascinating inhabitants. 

 

After the tour, you will be directed to one of the best shelling beaches in all of North Carolina where you can spend some time on your own shelling your way down the beach, with the Cape Lookout Lighthouse off in the distance.  Shackleford is well known as one of the best shelling destinations on the East Coast.  Among other things, you can find Conchs, Whelks, Queen’s Helmets, Scotch Bonnets, Olive Shells, Sand Dollars, and more.
