Luxury NC Coast Yacht Cruise | My Valentine

Cruise the Carolina Coast in Style

Get ready to soak up the sun and salt air on our North Carolina Scenic Yacht Cruise. This laid-back 4-hour trip lets you and up to 5 friends or family members kick back on a comfy yacht while taking in the stunning coastal views. It's the perfect way to unwind and see the best of what our shoreline has to offer without any fuss.

Your Day on the Water

Picture this: you're lounging on the deck of a spacious yacht, cold drink in hand, as we cruise past pristine beaches and historic lighthouses. Our captain knows all the best spots to catch glimpses of playful dolphins or spot ospreys diving for fish. We'll meander along barrier islands, giving you plenty of time to snap photos or just soak in the coastal scenery. The best part? You can bring your own snacks and drinks, so pack that cooler with your favorites and make yourself right at home.

Smooth Sailing

Don't worry if you're new to boating - our yacht is designed for easy cruising. We've got comfortable seating both in the sun and shade, so you can find your perfect spot to relax. The waters here are typically calm, making for a gentle ride that's great for all ages. Our experienced captain will handle all the navigation, leaving you free to chat, nap, or keep an eye out for wildlife. And if you've got any questions about what you're seeing, just ask - we love sharing local knowledge about our beautiful coast.

Why Folks Love This Trip

Time and time again, guests tell us how much they appreciate the easy-going vibe of this cruise. It's a chance to slow down and really enjoy being on the water without any agenda. Families love that kids can move around safely on the boat, while couples enjoy the romantic setting - especially during our sunset cruises. The fact that you can bring your own food and drinks is a big hit too. It lets you customize the experience, whether you want to pack a gourmet picnic or just grab some sandwiches and sodas.

Coastal Highlights

As we cruise along, keep your eyes peeled for some of the coolest sights on the North Carolina coast. We often spot bottlenose dolphins playing in our wake - they seem to love showing off for our guests. Depending on the season, you might see massive loggerhead turtles or even hear the distant calls of right whales. Bird watchers, bring your binoculars! We regularly see pelicans, terns, and if you're lucky, maybe even a bald eagle.

One of the trip highlights is getting up close to some of our historic lighthouses. The black and white stripes of Cape Hatteras Light or the red brick of Currituck Beach Light are pretty impressive from the water. Our captain can fill you in on the history and lore behind these coastal beacons.

What to Bring

Since we're all about making this trip your own, here are some tips on what to pack:

- Cooler with your favorite snacks and drinks (alcohol is fine for those over 21) - Sunscreen and sunglasses - that Carolina sun can be bright out on the water! - Light jacket or sweater - it can get breezy, even on warm days - Camera or smartphone for photos - Any medications you might need - Cash for tipping your captain (always appreciated but never required)

Don't forget, we've got plenty of safe storage on board for your belongings. And of course, we provide all the necessary safety equipment like life jackets.

Best Times to Cruise

While every season has its charms on the North Carolina coast, here's a quick rundown of what to expect:

Spring (March-May): Mild temperatures and blooming coastal flowers make for gorgeous scenery. It's also a great time to spot migrating birds.

Summer (June-August): Peak season for warm weather and water activities. Expect more boat traffic but also the best chances for dolphin sightings.

Fall (September-November): Cooler temps and fewer crowds. The changing colors of maritime forests on the barrier islands are stunning.

Winter (December-February): Crisp, clear days can offer amazing visibility. While it's chillier, you might spot seals or huge flocks of wintering waterfowl.
