Established with the intention to “offer visitors to the Crystal Coast the chance to be a local for a day,” Crystal Coast Boat Charters & Rentals has been touting full-service charters and rentals along the Emerald Isle since 2017.

Founded by longtime sea lover Krista Purves, Crystal Coast Boat Charters and Rentals stems from her vision to bring longtime Carteret County residents and visitors alike out to enjoy the water—sans the stress and planning. And she’s able to keep showcasing the beauty of Carteret County via the water to 100+ charters a year thanks to the boatloads of tourists who bring her business each time they come on vacation.
