Private Hilton Head Sunset Boat Cruise (Up To 14 Passengers)

We had a great time on our sunset cruise with Island Head. We took drinks and snacks, enjoyed some music, and great views. Although it wasn’t a dolphin tour, we saw those too!! Highly recommend!

We showed up and no one ever met us. We sat for 25 mins before anyone came to let us know that there was an error on their end and we would not be getting our experience. We had 13 people including 8 kids. We were disappointed to say the least. They did apologize and give a refund but we were scrambling to figure what to do for the evening.

Nice, affordable sunset cruise HHI. Bring cooler with snacks, beverages, water and CUPS if you wish to enjoy them during the trip. My family had a great time. Highly recommended.

It was a relaxing evening with family. We brought drinks and snacks. The boat was clean and captain was open and friendly. He asked what area we could cruise to; nature or Harbor Town and large houses. We chose nature and we were rewarded with visits from Dolphins. Unfortunately the weather was uncooperative with clouds so no beautiful sunset.

The captain was very nice. We saw a lot of dolphins. We had a great time. I highly recommend if you love dolphins

A wonderful evening cruise on Broad Creek. Our guide, Arden, was super helpful in getting two of our more senior members onto and off of the boat. He also was very knowledgeable of the surrounding area and the marine life. He was very determined and made sure that we saw dolphins. Highly recommend this cruise and this guide!

Fun girls night out! Sunset was gorgeous and the full moon was a special treat. The hibachi was delicious. The staff was courteous and efficient. The boat was clean. Definitely will do again.

Captain Steve was the best! He was knowledgeable, he played great music, and he knew exactly where to take us at the peak moment for the sunset! Book with them! You will not be disappointed.

We had the most incredible day on our private charter boat! The boat comfortably accommodated our large family, and the captain was absolutely fantastic! He was not only knowledgeable but also funny and made sure we were all having the best time possible. We cruised along the coast, and to our delight, we spotted several dolphins playing in the water – it was such a magical experience, especially for the kids! We also stopped at a great family-friendly lunch spot. The location was perfect, though lunch did take a little while to arrive, but the wait was worth it. It made for an unforgettable afternoon. If you're looking for a relaxing yet exciting day out on the water, this private charter is the way to go! Highly recommend!

First, the boat ride was right on time (going and returning) and the pre-trip communication from Island Head was excellent. Also, our golf cart was satisfactory and we really enjoyed touring Daufuskie Island. We ate at Daufuskie Crab Co and the food was quite good, although many drinks on the menu were not available because we were not in season. One issue...the boat we had was very small and totally open. We had 12 -15 people going both ways and that was capacity (I'm not a boater but doubt the boat was more than 30 foot). We expected more of a ferry, with inside seating as an option. The day we went was generally sunny but only 60 degrees (or less) and had about a 20 MPH steady wind. Coming back we were into the wind and the captain announced as we left the Daufuskie Island dock that he needed to go fast to stay on top of the waves. It was a little unnerving being on the open ocean in such a small boat with all that wind and waves. It was quite bumpy. An announcement was made going over to Daufuskie Island regarding life jackets (they are stored under the sides of the boat in latched cabinets), but if we had a major problem it would have been difficult/impossible to reach the life jackets. In my opinion life jackets should have been required to be worn on the way back, since the captain obviously knew the conditions. The life jackets were not mentioned at all prior to leaving the dock for the return trip. Battling a 40 MPH wind in an open boat (20 MPH wind speed plus assume the boat was going at least 20 MPH) on a 60 degree day was very cold with no place to go for protection. In the end I feel like using such a small boat on the open ocean on such a windy day with choppy seas is a recipe for future disaster. A much bigger boat with the company's logo on it was in the Broad Creek marina. It looked like a ferry and had inside seating. That boat should have been used on such a rough day.

The best! Steve is an amazing Captain! Sooo patient!! Defiintely a must in Hilton Head! It was spectacular sunset and birthday celebration!

We were here on a girls’ trip and wanted a private sunset cruise. This was awesome! Michael was an excellent captain - full of lots of local knowledge and our one request was to find dolphins and he found lots for us. We brought wine, beer and snacks on board and watched an amazing sunset. This was well worth the cost - we would highly recommend Island Head and this private cruise.

Great location and house for a golf trip with the fellas! There’s a breakfast spot and mini mart walking distance. The beach is close by and everything else is a short uber ride. Would recommend this location!

We had a wonderful time on the sunset cruise. We were blessed with the most beautiful sunset and saw some dolphins. Captain Steve was so knowledgeable of the island and brought us to some great viewing points.

What a fun night! Steve our captain was great, the sunset was amazing and being out on the water with friends and family was priceless. Well worth the money to have a boat yourselves.

We had the most perfect evening for a sunset cruise. We arrived early and John took us right out. The water and views were amazing. John told us all about the area and answered all our questions. We saw dolphins playing around, cruised through some harbors and saw the most amazing sunset and evening sky. John was great! The boat was spacious and had plenty of room for us to move around, and it was super comfortable and clean!

Great time out on the water. Weather cooperated, William was knowledgeable, it was a fun time. William, our captain was helpful and fun with supplying music and a helping hand with taking pictures, seeing the dolphins, and getting in and out of boat safely.

Captain Richard was the best. We had a lovely time. We loved watching the dolphins play as the sunset!

Highly recommend this cruise! Everything went smoothly. Coulter was an awesome captain. We saw a beautiful sunset and lots of dolphins. It was exciting and relaxing!

We had a great time with Captain Steve on our boat cruise. Steve was very personable and took the time to point out interesting local sights as well as get us close to some pods of dolphins.

We had a fantastic time celebrating a birthday with family! Having a small group made the trip memorable. All communication with the captain and company was excellent. Highly recommend!

Perfect girls night out with our young adult daughters. Captured a beautiful sunset. Our captain Shawn was so much fun. One of our best evenings in Hilton Head.

Captain Taylor was fantastic. Knowledgeable of the area, and a great conversationalist. It was a beautiful night seeing dolphins, sunsets, fireworks, and stargazing. Would recommend this for any families looking for a calm night on the water.

Fantastic experience! Steve was our captain and he was great! So kind and full of information about the waters sbd surrounding area. What I liked best was that he let us leave about 15 min early and he didn’t seem rushed at all to get back right on the 1.5 hour marker. We were over our tiime and our kids spotted dolphins and he drove over to them and let us watch them for awhile. Highly recommend! And I’m picky lol’

Great ride and an amazing guide during sunset. Lots of dolphins and great views. Very relaxing and highly recommend.

Very scenic and beautiful. Our captain was absolutely excellent. Our family had a amazing time. Would highly recommend!

Great private charter for 12 of us- family members ages 13-53. Captain Tim was fantastic and knowledgeable. It was a Beautiful, smooth trip and we enjoyed the peacefulness of being on the water at sunset. It was wonderful that we could bring a cooler and snacks. Enjoyed seeing Sea Pines and Harbour Town from the water. We also loved it that it was just our group. Highly recommend.

Saw numerous dolphins, sharing an amazing and unforgettable experience with my favorite people. Highly recommend this trip. The boat seated 13 comfortably.

Hibachi dinner cruise is hands down the best dinner experience South Carolina has to offer. Amazing service! Incredible views! Delicious food! Top that all off with a beautiful sunset and cool cocktails. We have been around the block when it comes to Hilton Head boat adventures and this was one takes the cake!

Captain Steve gave us a great tour! He was engaging, knowledgeable, friendly, cared for our safety (easy to reschedule due to bad weather)! We’ll do it again!

Captain Steve was FANTASTIC! We had great views, personalized service. We had to reschedule due to bad weather, but he made it easy!Great evening!

The captain is very knowledgeable. It was fun. Turned out there were only 3 of us on the boat here in early March. We saw many dolphins, enjoyed watching them play. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone interested in going on a fun boat ride, seeing lots of dolphins and learning about the history of the island.

Steve was a great Captain who provided us a smooth ride to Palmetto Bluff, timed the sunset perfectly for photos, had great music, shared his wealth of knowledge of the area. Island Head was super accommodating to our group & easy to work with. When the weather was questionable, they were proactive and adjusted us accordingly. The boat was clean and perfect for our group. A excellent experience - Would highly recommend!!!

It is funn to enjoyy the ride in the tropical. We as a group of 10 enjoyed a lot and made beautiful memories during our ride!!

Great trip with Island Head. The boat was 33ft and used for parasailing during the day. Very big, stable and fast. Comfortable open seating. Capt Matt was great and took us to several places we have never been. Dolphins were everywhere. We also forgot our wine opener, and were able to stop at Daufuskie Island for quick drink while they opened our wine for us.

Fun, great seeing the folding, loved the boat ride!! Matt was great. We all had a great time!! Thank you!

10 of us went on the Private Sunset Cruise for my parents 50th anniversary and enjoyed every bit of it! From the cooler temps in the evening, to seeing dolphins, the sunset, and driving up to Harbour Town for a group photo on the boat, everyone had a great time. Matt was a great captain and allowed us to bring beverages on the boat and listen to whatever music we preferred. It was great to go fast through the water, but also slow at times too. Highly recommend this trip!

Devan was a great captain. The whole family felt safe and enjoyed some of the points of interest she pointed out. This was very enjoyable.

Steve was a great captain! He was very personable and friendly. We saw stingray jumping out of the water and plenty of dolphins. Two dolphins actually came right up to our ship. The sunset was beautiful too. We will definitely do it again next year if we come back to HH.

My family (7 of us) did the private sunset cruise with Steve and had a great time!! Island Head was very accommodating in letting us switch days and adjust times from what I originally booked. We were able to see so many dolphins on our cruise and our captain Steve was very informative telling us about the dolphins and geography. The sunset was amazing! We were able to get so many great pictures and Steve took great group photos of us. We brought our own food and drinks, and Steve put on some great music! Overall, highly recommend the private sunset cruise for any group visiting Hilton head!

Our experience was awesome. The boat driver was very nice, knowledgeable, and made sure we saw everything.

Captain Ty & first mage Sage were not only excellent operators they were kind & warm people that made our sunset cruise unforgettable. We will be returning & we will request Ty & Sage again.

Such a great trip! We were 8 adults and 3 kids celebrating our father's 74th birthday with a sunset cruise around the Island. Devin was an amazing captain. She was super friendly and got along great with kids and adults. She made everyone feel safe and comfortable! It was hard to find a boat for our group size and this was perfect!

These guys are amazing! We do a sunset cruise every year in Hilton Head and have used various companies. Captain Wells did an excellent job taking us over to Daufuskie where we saw tons of dolphins and even an alligator swimming in the ocean which is apparently rare to see. It was only our family (had 9 people) with plenty of room for us and some coolers with snacks and drinks to enjoy during the sunset. Captain Wells went above and beyond by extending our boat ride so we could sit and watch the fireworks over in Shelter Cove. Gorgeous sunset, cooler weather in July and tons of dolphins. Can't ask for much better! We are using Island Head every year for now on!

We used Island Head for a private sunset charter. We could not recommend them enough!! Arrived early so our party of 13 got the larger ferry boat, which was perfect for a group with 6 kids. Gave them room to roam around. The crew of Devin and Courtney could not have been better. They even let the little ones have a turn at the wheel. We saw plenty of dolphins and got some history of the area we were sailing in. The sunset was not the greatest that night but no one cared. We have been coming to Hilton Head off and on for the last 29 years and my brother called this the best experience he has even done on the island. Thanks for the memories!

Dolphin watching and colorful sunset were fantastic way to cap off our family HH vacation. Thanks for a fun evening out.

The dolphins and the sunset. Devin was an excellent guide. Our family of 12 people enjoyed learning about the area.

Awesome experience for the whole family! Our captain was great, beautiful views and we saw so many dolphins.

Capitan Wells was amazing. He was very informative and made our cruise an experience that will be remembered for years.
