Pontoon & Fishing Adventures with Emerald Isle Adventures

Emerald Isle, North Carolina, is a coastal playground carved by the Atlantic Ocean's shifting tides and inlets. Known for its clear waters and leisurely pace, this island town offers ideal conditions for those seeking a hands-on maritime outing. Emerald Isle Adventures provides a range of unique boat experiences that connect visitors directly with the region’s aquatic landscapes and abundant marine life.

At the heart of their offerings are pontoon boat rentals—a stable, spacious, and accessible way to navigate the Intracoastal Waterway and nearby shores. Whether you’re gliding past sandy beaches or quietly anchoring in a secluded cove, these pontoons are key to a flexible, personal day on the water.

Fishing enthusiasts have a standout option with the Intro to Fishing combined with Sharktooth Island trip. Guided by seasoned Capt. Roy, who receives high praise for his local knowledge and genuine hospitality, this trip caters to beginners and families eager to hook Bonita and other coastal game fish. Part of the fun extends to combing Sharktooth Island’s small sandbars for fossilized shark teeth—making the day both about casting lines and uncovering nature’s hidden relics.

For those who prefer less active travel, the Island Hop boat cruises offer sweeping views of the barrier island’s undeveloped sections while a Sunset Cruise caps outings with the calm, warm hues of an ocean twilight.

Emerald Isle Adventures stands out by blending local expertise with personalized service. The captains' attentiveness and the unrushed style of these charters make the company a must for anyone intent on connecting with the water without the rush—right where North Carolina’s coast feels at once wild and welcoming.
