Meet Your Captain – Jacob Rimes
Founder of Seaside Charter Company
Hi, I’m Jacob Rimes, owner and operator of Seaside Charter Company. I was born and raised on Topsail Island, and the water has always been a part of who I am. From fishing off the docks as a kid to exploring every hidden cove and sandbar along the coast, I’ve spent my life getting to know the waters of Topsail Island, Wrightsville Beach, and the surrounding area like the back of my hand.
I started Seaside Charter Company with one simple goal: to share the beauty, adventure, and laid-back charm of our coast with others. Whether you’re looking to island hop, relax on a sunset cruise, explore local wildlife on an eco tour, or spend the day fishing, I’ll make sure your time on the water is safe, memorable, and tailored to exactly what you’re looking for.
At Seaside Charter Company, we specialize in small, personalized trips that give you a true local experience—guided by someone who calls this place home.
Come explore the Carolina coast with me. I promise you’ll leave with great memories, salty air in your lungs, and maybe even a fish tale or two.
