Sunset Cruise

Illuminate the way to your destination!

Our Versatility

We have vast experience running boats in our local waters and hope to provide various services to our customers. Our new 36-foot Munson landing craft can land on almost any beach, drop the front door, and provide easy access on and off the boat. We are able to land on most beaches, rock or sand. We can make your trip to the islands easy, whether it's for work or play. 

“There’s not enough stars up there. These guys are great. They are local, know the waters, willing to help and down right fun. When your boat is down, like ours; Island Opportunity Charters is a great and reasonable way to get to your cabin or camping. They dropped us off right at our beach, petted our dogs and put up with our unreasonable cat and all the stuff that we could possibly drag over. We would highly recommend them, in fact the question is why do we even have a boat except for crabbing and fishing. Great going guys!”
