*Private* Charleston Sunset Boat Cruise!
Chad took us on a beautiful tour of the inter-coastal. We were able to see a mama dolphin in her baby and had a delicious stop at the crab house on James Island. Highly recommend!

Bradley was amazing. He took us for a longer trip than we booked, was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining and professional. Would highly recommend to anyone.

🎉🐬🏝️Catamaran Tiki Boat - Island Hopping on Folly Beach, SC
Our boat day out with Captain Ryan was a 10/10. We booked him for a bachelorette group and it was the highlight of our weekend even though the weather was cold. He got us to a spot without too much wind to make us comfortable and he even orchestrated a few games onboard. The boat itself was spacious and they even have a super clean bathroom onboard. When we come back to Charleston we will definitely book again!

Captained Boat Charter from Folly Beach
So much fun looking for dolphins and exploring the waterways near Folly Beach. PD was great with our kids, had appropriate life vests for them to wear, and alternated between pointing out landmarks, dolphins and birds, and driving "super fast" which was fun for everyone! Would highly recommend for a way to celebrate a special occasion or as part of a vacation!

We had an incredible 3-hour tour with Captain Ryan on his pontoon boat. The setup was perfect for a relaxing day, with comfortable seating and a center table that made it easy to enjoy the snacks we brought. The boat even had a spotless bathroom, which was a great bonus. Captain Ryan provided an ice chest and a Bluetooth speaker, adding to the overall experience. We got to explore two islands, and the best part was when we encountered dolphins! Captain Ryan stopped the boat, allowing the dolphins to swim around us—it was truly magical. We highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a fun and memorable day on the water! Captain Ryan is chill with a great personality. Truly a wonderful host!

Captain Brad was phenomenal! We went out with a very small bachelorette party and it was totally worth while. Brad took us around the Isle of Palm and pointed out fun sights as we went. He also took amazing pics of us as a group and had great conversation. His food/restaurant recommendations were amazing!!Would totally book again if we’re in the area.
