5.00Scotty and the crew at Wharfside are THE way to go when you just want to do your own thing. If you’ve got a boat at home, this is easy peezy! Great rig, power, having the Garmin to know your location and depths, invaluable! This is our fourth or fifth year in a row, Must do.

5.00Wow, what an impressive organization!! The owner is incredible and so honest and kind and willing to work with you whatever the weather conditions or situation. We had such a great time despite the high surf and winds. They were totally honest as to what islands we could access on that day, offered us a refund, but we decided to go to the spots they recommended and we had a BLAST!! Wonderful full day on the water. Kids loved it and we were able to access some incredible beaches that we wouldn't have gone to otherwise. Work with this organization and you won't be disappointed!
Amazing Day

5.00We had an amazing time! The people running this place just get it. The weather was not cooperative on our day and they were open and honest that we wouldn’t be able to access almost all of the beaches because of the weather and offered a full refund out of the gate. Then they said - even if we get out there and decide to turn back, they’d give our money back. We touched it out and it ended up being an amazing day with empty beaches because everyone else stayed away due to weather. Everyone involved was a pleasure to be around and couldn’t have been more accommodating!
great first experience
