Hi! We are Lena and Scotty. Creators and Founders of Water's Edge Adventures. We are a small, family owned and operated business. We are not a franchise and never will be. We strive to never take on more business than we can handle on our own.
We pride ourselves on quality and customer service that you can only get from owner operated "mom and pop shops".
Please see for yourself by browsing though our GOOGLE REVIEW PAGE.
AT A GLANCE FAQ INFO --->

What makes us different from the rest?
*We pride ourselves on providing our guests with PRIVATE, SINGLE FAMILY, SAFE and PERSONALIZED educational nature experiences.
*Water's Edge gives back to the community by DONATING a portion of their sales, as well as their time to our very own local non-profit 501-c3, as well as hosting beach and river trash cleanups.
October 2024 was a very challenging month for us. We were temporarily displaced and put out of business due to the direct hit of two hurricanes. Seeing the devastating effects of Helene on Western North Carolina, we decided to pack up and change course. We switched gears and started a Hurricane Supply Donation Organization. In one week we collected over a ton of supplies, got a 24' utility trailer donated and brought the hurricane survivors in Ashville, Banner Elk and Greenville SC donated supplies. We spent 10 days volunteering and donating our time to help run supplies around the mountains and do whatever was needed. Because of this experience, we now have a permanent charity organization collecting and distributing hurricane relief supplies.
OUR NICHE IN A SATURATED BUSINESS
Scotty and Lena are the owners and operators of this business. We built this business $50 at a time while running our restaurant. Customer service and satisfaction is our number one priority.
We offer Private tours only. We never ever book strangers together on the same tour. because of this...
*We personalize each tour, meaning -
-if you want to stay dry, that's fine.
-If you want to snorkel, we'll provide the gear or bring your own
-if you want to freedive, Captain Scotty will teach you how
-have kids? Instructor Lena will teach them how to safely be comfortable in the water and snorkel with the fishies.
-having too much fun and don't want to leave? that's cool too, stay out as long as you want
We do not Nickle and dime our customers. If you're on a rental adventure and you're having too much fun, don't worry about being back at a specific time. It's more important to us that you have a magical day on the water with your family or friends than to worry about what time it is. Go have fun and come back when you're done.
We offer sunset options. We have found that we are one of the only companies on the bay that offers sunset adventures. Most companies are done renting by 3 or 4 pm so they can close up shop but since it's the two of us, we don't mind staying open later to offer evening options.

Our Mission:
Water's Edge Adventures started out as a way to host community beach and river cleanups. We found a way to monetize our passion by providing guided tours and rentals. We still want to continue our mission to clean trash from our water's and help with other environmental projects.
We have our very own Non Profit 501-c3 that is dedicated to youth and community involvement as well as environmental conservation and newly hurricane supply run efforts.
