Captain Tim and first mate Tucker were knowledgeable and friendly…read more Our only complaint is that we wanted to do more of the work ourselves - like baiting the line, casting, etc. Maybe that was due to some regulations I'm not aware of, I just wish the kids could have learned how to do more during the trip. Still, I would recommend this charter service.

Captain and mate were patient and very helpful. We caught 20+ fish, half were keepers. They cleaned and cut the fish for us. We left with ready to cook fillets and a few dozen crabs. Great experience. I highly recommend.

We had a diverse party of experienced and inexperienced fishers and everyone enjoyed their time. My fiancé went on 2 other charters that week with different companies and Jawfly was by far the best. Will only use them from now on.

If you've never been, add this to your list of must-do's in the OBX. Third time we've visited in…read morethe last 10 years and each time we love how they change up the course. This really is for folks of all ages THAT LOVE TO BE CHALLENGED! Safety is the priority for this experience so the entire crew spends time walking you through "gearing up" and what you need to do to progress from each challenge across the 5 levels. You start at the bottom and work your way up---as you go higher the challenges become greater. Every challenge is a puzzle to figure out and that's important because you CAN SUCCESSFULLY DO EVERY ONE! There are staff located on every level to guide you through each task so no worries there! You will use every muscle in your body and stretch every limb .....you will sweat....hot tubs a must after you are done! Well worth putting this on your vacation list.

Worst experience ever, embarrassed by one of the employee,…read more so we were on vacation in OBX and we decided to go parasailing o. Labor Day before heading back home, so I called to schedule three for parasailing gave her the weight paid for it over the phone when we get there we were 14lb. Over weight, then the employee proceeded to say in front of this big group (well we can only have 2 of your party go parasailing because you lied about your weight) like do you really think I lied on purpose??? and also payed to get on, Like really, have more common sense, and learn how to talk to your customers. I will never come back to this establishment

Bottom Line: A small kite shop and launching point for kayak and SUP rentals and parasailing…read moreadventures. Kitty Hawk Kites along the Manteo waterfront earns four stars from me largely based on my experience with renting kayaks. My husband and I wanted a scenic and easy paddle and we thought Manteo would be a great place for that. Plus with a recent, rare manatee sighting in the area I wanted to see if manatees do really wear novelty tees. Anyway, we didn't see any manatees but we did have a nice kayak trip. We found 60 minutes was plenty to explore the area and take some photos. Ken was helpful with getting us launched and I liked the setup they have for climbing into kayaks. As far as shopping goes, Kitty Hawk Kites in Manteo is a very small storefront so if you're serious about shopping for a kite I'd recommend going to the Nags Head location first thing in the morning before it turns into a tourist zoo. The Manteo storefront is very small and cramped but does have some kites, spinners, windsock, toys and souvenirs.
