"Vacationed at Kure Beach for a week and wanted to rent a boat for the day. Rental process online was easy and straightforward. We showed up the morning of the rental (at the marina in Caroline Beach State Park - about a 15 minute drive from the house we had rented), got checked in, oriented to the boat, loaded up our supplies, and we were off. Rented a skiff that can seat about 10. Also rented the water skis. Had some friends that brought a tube.
Boat was in good shape and came with depth finder and GPS navigation, making it easy to stay in the channel. It also had a nice bimini top for some shade which is always nice when out on the water. There was a little platform and ladder off the back of the boat which made it easy to get on and off in the water. They also provide a cooler under the captain's seat. We didn't know that, so we had brought a couple of our own coolers.
We had to stay in the intracoastal waterway, which was fine, but we had hoped to be able to go to Shark Tooth Island. Since that is up the river where we weren't allowed to go, that was out. Found a couple places to do some shelling near inlets to the ocean, but nothing special. This did not seem to be the best area for shelling.
We did have a great time tubing. There was a fair amount of boat traffic, so we had to be careful pulling the tube, but made for some good bounces off the waves. We ventured up to Wrightsville Beach for lunch. Only one waterfront restaurant was open, so it was very crowded. We ordered food to go and it was still almost an hour wait when all was said and done.
In the afternoon, we did some waterskiing and the boat was fine for that as well. Took a little to get used to the acceleration, but was able to get a couple of skiers up and had some good rides.
Drop off at end of day was just as easy. Pulled up, checked out on the tablet that was brought right down to the dock, unloaded our supplies, and we were almost done. Just needed to take care of gas. They filled up the boat with gas for us and then we had to go into the marina store to pay for the gas. Easy enough.
Overall, a very fun day. I would definitely rent from Nauti Times again as the boat and people were great. If you are looking for convenient boat rental near Carolina/Kure Beach, check out Nauti Times."

"Awesome day on the water! Very organized, well-run boat rental company. Owner Jeff was always available via text to answer questions. Loved working with William on the docks. Would highly recommend!"
