We take two weeks on LBI every summer and I have to say our two hour Sunset Cruise with Captain…read moreGeorge and his deckhand Jill was among the best things we've done. In 50+ years of visiting LBI, it was the first time I saw "Old Barney" from the water and it was awesome. The boat is beautiful, the hospitality was top-notch, and we even went through the Inlet to open water. This is a treat....Do it!

Excellent sunset sailing cruise with Captain George and his mate Felix. First rate. The boat was…read morecomfortable for our party of five. We left on time, motored away from the dock, headed towards the inlet, put up the sails and . . . off we went. The sea was not too choppy and the wind was strong, but not too strong. We took a two hour cruise and it went quickly. We had a nice ride into the ocean, with Captain George pointing out some birds but we all got really excited when we came across some dolphins. It's fun to watch them arch out of the water and gracefully swim in pairs and triplets. We turned around in the ocean and headed back into the inlet and the bay, just in time for a beautiful sunset scene. Perfect timing to enjoy the colors of the setting sun over Barnegat Bay . . . a nice end to a nice week at the Shore. . . I thought that the price was fair for the time and the experience.

Mike is a true sailor with local heritage…read more Beautiful Sunset & Immaculate Boat - Mike & Kara made sure to make the experience for my kids worth even more than we paid. We were a bit apprehensive about taking our 6, 9, and 14 year olds on the boat - we ended up booking a day at Tices Shoal & Island Beach State Park for the day at the end of our cruise. The kids cant wait to go back and hangout with Mike & Kara. Keep up the great work y'all!

I was on LBI for a week and wanted to do something other than beaching while I had friends visiting…read moreover the weekend. Boating seemed like an obvious option, but all the other tours I found looked crowded, not very intimate, and were pricey. Lucky for me, LBI Luxury Charters had just started doing private boat tours a month before my visit. Captain Mike and his crew member James could not have been more accommodating or pleasant, ensuring my friends and I had everything we needed aboard to enjoy a beautiful sunset cruise on the bay. They provided small snacks and drinks as well as a cooler with ice for the items we brought. The boat was beautiful and very roomy for the 4 of us -- you can bring up to 6 on board -- and was not ridiculously expensive for a two hour ride, especially compared to the other tours I found. Overall, a great find. Thanks, guys, for a memorable time and save some room for us next season ;)

Captain Lou met me, the band, and one other person at exactly the agreed time to allow us on the boat a half hour earlier than our guests to set up. Crew was incredible throughout the cruise. Highly recommended!!

This was no more than a money grab to end the season.

He thought if he could get a swordfish or two it might make the trip. The wind made it impossible for him to get to the spot he had planned so he just went to some where and hoped for the best. There was one big eye tuna caught. It was basically like winning the lottery the fish picked up a tile fish rig off the bottom in 700 of water. This was no more than a money grab to end the season.

This is absolutely worth the $70 price! There are a few possible discounts, too - $5 off for cash,…read more$10 off for groups of 6+ or get on the 8AM or 9:30AM boat to start your fun filled day at LBI. There is also a $25 photo package where the crew member will take photos on a digital camera and give you a disc afterward. My 7-year-old son and I (yep, everyone except infants and pregnant women can ride) did this for the first time yesterday. There is no discount for children, though. Started off signing some waivers, and then with a short boat ride to the parasailing "section." This trip was in the bay as the ocean was "like a washing machine" according to the staff. I was on the boat with a family of 8, and they let us go first as we were rookies at this. When we got to the start, the crew decided to change the chute to the larger one, so we had a short delay of a few minutes. They set up the bigger chute, and got my son and I on the rear deck of the new 2011 boat. We during the first part of the ride were given life vests and a seating harness. With the chute fully opened and in the air, we were hooked into the caribeaners and seating. In a few seconds, we were airborn! Flying! We were anywhere from 350 to 500 feet in the air, and it was a lot of fun to see the 360' views for miles. We even were "close" enough to wave to other boats and be waved back to. You could carry on a conversation, and the breeze was nice and not loud. The boat made some zigzags and slowed down to get up and down in the chute, and you spend about 10-15 minutes in the air. Then, they pull you back and at the very end if you wish, they can dip you into the water. It can be just your feet, or up to your neck! I was surprised at how warm the bay water was. Since we went first, my son and I got to sit on the boat drying off while everyone else went - sometimes in triple, or doubles. The crew and staff were very professional, and likable. There were no problems at all with our tour. They boast a 100% safety record. The entire trip lasts about 1 to 1 1/2 hours depending on how many are in the boat going. I highly recommend going parasailing while you're on vacation in LBI! I'll be back!
