The crew is absolutely the best ever. Donnie is a riot and made sure everybody had a great time. There were only eight of us on this tour, two were young boys and they each got a turn driving the boat. I know that had to make their day. By far the best tour ever Donnie's humor, and all the sea lions I got to see made it priceless.

He catered to the needs and dreams of young boys at ever turn, and it was evident he knows the water and channels of the area like the back of his hand. We saw dolphin, hunted shark teeth on a sandbar island, did a little fishing, dropped crb traps, and he taught he kids about all the animal life we encountered including a massive manta ray, and hundreds of fiddler crabs we scooped up for bait. Thanks for filling our day with adventure and delight!!

I had family coming to visit and thought it would be fun to get us out onto a boat. I texted the…read morenumber on the website asking if they could possibly accommodate a two hour ride instead of a three and James was very responsive and helpful. He asked for input about where we wanted to go on the ride but also offered great suggestions. It was a nice balance. The day of the ride was SO much fun. There were six of us and plenty of room on the boat to spread out. One of us has a bit of anxiety about boats and James was very reassuring. The island James took us to was peaceful and beautiful and it was amazing getting to float in the still water nearby. He even collected some shells for my toddler to bring home! James is not a Wilmington native but has been here for a while and has clearly worked hard on knowing the area well. The two hours flew by - we had such a great time. Before we got back I was thinking about when we could rationalize doing it again. Highly, highly recommend booking with Salty Feet. Full disclaimer that I know James through a friend, but that doesn't sway my opinion in any way. I'm not affiliated with the business and don't know James well.

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.
