Traveling with family with two young children who really wanted to see dolphins. Captain Dave took us in the direction we saw dolphins from the dock. Great sunset. We didn't get to see the lighthouse, which was one of the things I was looking forward to, but we did see several dolphins and the kids were very excited to see them up close

We had a wonderful sunset dolphin viewing experience. Captain Megan was great at maneuvering the boat to allow for optimal wildlife viewing which is what our group was most interested in. So many dolphins on a beautiful night! It was a fun experience for the entire family.
We saw an alligator, lots of dolphins and even jumping sting rays. Captain Neil was awesome! Highly recommend
We had a fabulous time on our sunset cruise. It was a great way to kick off our wedding celebration. Our out of town guests loved it and was the perfect way for them to get to know one another before our wedding. Dave, our captain was personable and professional. We enjoyed his company. He let us dance and have fun. The sunset was beautiful and the cruise was longer than expected. We highly recommend him and the company.
We had two families ages from 16-60 on the sunset cruise. Neil was a great captain. He let us play our own tunes and shared with us details on parts of our trip along the way. Tons of dolphin watching and other wildlife. He was very knowledgeable and also completely relaxed and easy-going.
We had a great time and the captain was awesome. I highly recommend this tour. We got great pictures and enjoyed our experience.
Our group of 10 family members had a great time with Capt. Dave. He took us all around May River. It was a gorgeous night after a day of raining weather. The ride was smooth and we saw an abundance of dolphins and manta rays. We were able to bring food and drinks on board and Dave hooked our music up to his boat’s speakers. He shared some information about the area, which was nice. It was a great experience that we highly recommended.
The sunset cruise was a fantastic experience. Beautiful views and an amazing ride. The icing on the cake was having the best captain.... Captain Neil was so attentive and accommodating. He was a pleasure to be around and helped to create an inviting atmosphere. Throughout the entire cruise, we were able to listen to our curated playlist on his high quality sound system. Hands down a 5-star experience.
There were 7 of us on our tour and we had SUCH a blast! Captain Neil is awesome, great tunes, great commentary, and lots of laughs. We were 7 and had heaps of room on the boat. Beautiful sunset and great time out!
Awesome experience had a great Boat captain Neil. So good! We enjoyed his knowledge and letting our children play music and being so good with our grand daughter
Captain Dave was amazing! We had a blast and learned so much from him. We can’t wait to do it again! I highly recommend the tour.
Captain Dave you rock! Our family and friends group of 10 thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hours at m the boat. We saw many pods of dolphins, jet skiers, and parasailers as we went down the intercostal and back from their ne end of the island to the other. Capt. Dave have lots of historical info and fun facts about the areas of the island as we passed them. I’ve been coming to HHI for 25 years and had never taken a boat tour. Now I can’t imagine a future trip without coming back on this private tour with this company. We loved every moment, thank you!!!!
Captain Dave was awesome! Saw dolphins and manta rays jumping out of the water. Beautiful and relaxing cruise. There were 13 family members and we had the whole boat to ourselves. Thanks for a great time! Definitely would book with them again.
Captain Dave was the best! He took us to some cool spots around the island and gave us some history as well. Would recommend this company a million times over! From scheduling to getting on the boat, everything was seamless.
Our family (multi-generational), had an amazing time on the sunset cruise. Captain Neil was knowledgeable, charming, and had a fantastic playlist. The boat was spacious and clean. We saw plenty of dolphins, incredible houses, and the sunset was breathtaking. Thank you for providing our family with such a great time and memories for a lifetime. We would recommend this cruise 💯 percent!
We have been to Hilton Head Island many times and this was our boat charter. 12 adults and two large coolers for the sunset cruise to celebrate our daughter’s engagement. It was perfect, due in no small part to captain Neil who was charming, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. The boat was very nice and we had plants of room. I would whole heartedly recommend this cruise!
Captain Dave was the absolute best. He had a wealth of knowledge to share about the history of the island and surrounding islands. Such an enjoyable time with beautiful views while watching the sunset. Could not have been a more wonderful experience. Would recommend 💯 %. It was a perfect evening. Book with Captain Dave, he will not disappoint!
Our family has been coming to Hilton Head for 15 years but never did a boat charter until now. We did the 7-9pm sunset cruise with our group of nine on the pontoon boat and it was perfect! We started out in daylight and saw many island features you can’t see from land, several dolphins and learned many fun facts from Captain Neil. We then saw a truly gorgeous sunset (and we have seen many in HH) followed by viewing all the islands lights coming on after the sunset. And don’t worry about the idea of a pontoon boat- it is brand new, spacious and very comfortable!
Ahhhmazing!! This boat trip was the highlight of our vacation. The boat was clean, new and very spacious. We had a group of 16 people- 8 adults and 8 children and had lots of room to move about comfortably. We had two large coolers one with drinks and one with sandwiches we brought for our dinner. Captain Neil was so friendly, knowledgeable about wildlife and great with the kids. We saw lots of dolphins and the sunset was gorgeous. Would highly recommend this as an activity for a large group at Hilton Head. You will not be disappointed!!
