Tooth & Tide Adventures offers private boat charters in Wilmington, North Carolina that allow you to design your own adventure on the water. Instead of choosing a fixed itinerary, you can customize your trip to include sightseeing around Wrightsville Beach, exploring Masonboro Island, swimming, beach walking, wildlife viewing, or simply relaxing on the water. This flexible charter is perfect for guests who want to create a unique coastal experience tailored to their group.
Design Your Perfect Day on the Water
Think of it as having your own boat for the day—without the responsibility of navigating or planning the route. Your captain’s local knowledge of Wilmington’s waterways helps you discover the best spots for sightseeing, swimming, beach walks, and wildlife viewing while keeping your trip safe and stress-free.

Every trip is different, but some popular custom adventures include:

Captain Jaime can help design a trip based on your interests, weather conditions, and the best locations around Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach.
