About This Cruise

Climb aboard Calypso, our custom 37ft party pontoon, for a fun and relaxing two-hour cruise on the beautiful Currituck Sound. This trip is perfect for families, friend groups, and anyone looking for a memorable day on the water. With roomy seating, great views, and a friendly crew, this is one of the best short adventures on the Outer Banks.

Choose between a private cruise for your group or our popular public option, where families and vacationers come together to share the experience.


Public Cruise Option — A Fun Way to Connect With Other Guests

Our public two-hour cruise is all about good vibes and friendly fun. Instead of renting the entire boat, you simply reserve the number of spots you need and enjoy the trip alongside other families and groups visiting the Outer Banks.

It’s a great choice if you want:

  • A relaxed, social atmosphere

  • A budget-friendly way to enjoy the party boat

  • A shared experience with other vacationers

  • Plenty of space to move around and enjoy the scenery

Guests often form quick connections — kids meet other kids, families chat, and everyone enjoys the lively but laid-back atmosphere. It feels like a floating gathering where everyone is here to have a great time.


Private Cruise Option — Your Boat, Your Group

If you have a large group, a special occasion to celebrate, or prefer a more personal experience, book Calypso privately for your group. It’s perfect for:

  • Families

  • Birthdays

  • Celebrations

  • Friend groups

  • Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties
  • Wedding celebrations
  • Happy Hour

You’ll enjoy the full boat, the crew’s attention, plenty of room to spread out, and the flexibility to shape the vibe of your trip.


Swim, Float & Play

Depending on conditions, your captain may anchor in a calm, shallow area of the Sound where you can:

  • Swim

  • Float and relax

  • Enjoy provided water toys and loungers

  • Splash around in calm, waist-deep water

Even during shorter cruises, this stop is often a highlight for kids and adults alike.
