Captain Johnny Outer Banks Cruises

The family running Captain Johnny's have been Outer Banks natives for nine generations, and they've operated the premier sightseeing and dolphin watch cruises along the Outer Banks since 1995. The operation is Coast Guard inspected and licensed for 49 passengers. Cruises are comfortable, with a shaded passenger area, snacks, children-friendly crews and a wheelchair accessible deck. Bayside tours, which do not go into the ocean, are available. Monday through Friday, four trips are offered daily. Saturday and Sunday cruises are available by appointment, and private cruises also are available. Scheduled tours operate May through October from the Manteo Waterfront Boardwalk near 40 retail shops and 7 restaurants. Reservations are preferred. And if you're in season and don't see a dolphin... you ride again for free!

Outer Banks Diving

Outer Banks Diving offers daily scuba diving charters to dozens of shipwrecks off Hatteras, NC, aboard the 65-foot Flying Fish. Their charters range from individual "walk-on" divers, to full-boat techical charters. Their shop in Hatteras has hyper-pure air and nitrox fill stations, plus a full line of gear for rent or sale. Clothing, prehistoric shark's teeth, and shipwreck books are also available in the shop. Hatteras makes for excellent diving, as the water is warmer and clearer than areas to the north.
