H2O Captain is authorized by the National Park Service to have both boat and land excursions to The Cape Lookout National Seashore which includes seeing the wild horses on Shackleford Banks, our most popular excursion. Captain Mark looks forward to serving you in 2021. Last year we spent 77 days out on the water! Fun, safe, and educational times for all!
November 21, Round We Go!
November 20, Cape Lookout Lighthouse and Shackleford Banks: H2O Captain was honored by the Carteret County Development Authority in taking part in transporting the videographer team (Chuck Hill) which is providing content for the 2021 Tourism Video for the Crystal Coast. Leaving port at 5am on a cold November morning to get to the Cape Lookout Lighthouse via the ocean before dawn created some great opportunities for Chuck and the team. Then off to Shackleford Banks where Captain Mark got his boat with 50 feet of a wild horse. This was followed by photographing 2 different species of dolphins on the way back as well as a fishing boat flocked by many birds including pelicans. A perfect day.

March 2020
Monday 9, trip to Shackleford Banks on a lovely day in March. Crossing Beaufort Inlet was smooth with sand bars getting decidedly larger and growing more northward. We cut back through Middle Marsh in low tide as a shortcut back to Beaufort for the entire length of Taylors Creek. First Mate Lucky with Dave Tolley.
Early March: Preparing to open up shop. Waxing the boat. Purchasing all new Type 1 Commercial Life Jackets with whistles and safety lights. Change of oil, etc. in our 4-Stroke 150hp Suzuki Engine.
