Reawaken your inner traveler.  Adventure awaits.  Exploration: the action of traveling in or through an unfamiliar area in order to learn about it.  H2O Captain Eco-Tour Private Boat Excursions is an authorized permittee of the National Park Service's Cape Lookout National Seashore to be able to perform boat tours on water and on land guide services to view the wild horses and discover great shelling on Shackleford Banks, our MOST POPULAR excursion.

Our Private Boat Tours last 2 to 12 hours depending on which excursions you choose. The itinerary is flexible. 
•    The typical departure time is 11:00 am from our new home on the protected and quiet waters of Coral Bay Marina in Morehead City. From this departure point, you will ride on the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) to see the wild horses and look for seashells on Shackleford Banks or Sand Dollar Island, go to the Cape Lookout Lighthouse or other destinations, for example, Beaufort, Swansboro or Oriental. So many options click here.
• H2O Captain Eco-Tour Private Boat Excursions offers eco-conscious terrestrial and marine life sightseeing and walking tours along the Crystal Coast. From our wild horses to enjoying pods of Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins along with an occasional sea turtle during the day as well as during our Sunset Cruises.
• Our boats' design offers all passengers a safe ride and optimal comfort. Onboard the boat, guests will be delighted with the open-air views from all seats, with its wrap-around walkway. The easy-to-use boarding ladder is a great way for guests to literally wade into the clear coastal waters and quickly get back aboard. We use our boat with the guest experience being top of mind. Welcome aboard!
• H2O Captain is NOT a ferry boat! Passengers can see and talk with each other as well as with the Captain, and can sit very comfortably for an extended period of time, hence, Captain Mark can even set up a dining table for your Sunset Cruise or lunch if you wish to dine on the H2O Captain Ultra Elite boat!
•  To get out of the heat of the sun or Mother Nature's rain, we have a bimini to stand under.
•  In addition, any excursion going to engage in discovering great shelling will receive as their keepsake, an official H2O Captain shelling bag!

Regarding safety, Captain Mark is the creator, producer, writer, and voice of the public service announcements,  Boating Safety Minute heard throughout the season on FM107.1, presented by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary.

H2O Captain has received the blessing of the USCG as the company participates in the voluntary safety program receiving a formal and detailed Safety Inspection of its boat from bow to stern.

The best days of the week for serenity to create a wonderful experience are weekdays.  Excursions start at only $539.

We offer the best way to be your de-stressor, your "chillaxin,"  and to consider your health & wellness.  Every journey is an opportunity to create a memory and to look for dolphins!   

You will be greeted by Captain Mark and sometimes his 1st Mate "Lucky" the dog.  "Lucky is amazing, I love that dog!!!  He can be in my boat anytime.” –Captain Jose P.  Should you be allergic, Lucky will wait on shore.

We believe in the power of bringing water and people together. This is why our excursions create compelling Instagramable memories that deliver life-changing experiences!  Some refer to H2O Captain Eco-Tour Private Boat Excursions as the best-kept secret on The Crystal Coast for vacation travel as this is a bucket-list item for most visitors!  Welcome Aboard, and enjoy your Adventure Travel!
