About OBX Dolphin Tours with Old Man Charters

OBX Dolphin Tours with Old Man Charters offers private boat cruises departing from Wanchese on Roanoke Island's south end. Visitors board the Miss Allison, a 33-foot flat-bottom open-air vessel designed for close wildlife viewing and comfortable sightseeing. The daytime and sunset cruise options last approximately two to two-and-a-half hours and feature dolphin sightings, photo opportunities, optional swim stops, and views of scenic marshes and sound vistas. Before departing, guests see an authentic working commercial fishing operation and traditional fishing gear at the private dock. Captain Vic, a lifelong Outer Banks local with 40 years of fishing experience and a Coast Guard 50-Ton Master License, leads each personalized excursion. Tours also offer opportunities to explore sand islands and encounter wildlife including ospreys and other birds. The experience suits families, friends, couples, and visitors of all ages seeking hands-on water adventures rooted in local maritime heritage. Tickets are sold online through the venue's website.
