Bull River Marina has clearly built something special, with customers raving about the exceptional staff and diverse offerings. Captains Nick, Buddy, and Vinny V get mentioned by name repeatedly, praised for their local knowledge, professionalism, and ability to personalize each trip. The shark tooth hunting excursions to Bird Island are a massive hit, with guests finding hundreds of teeth and even the occasional megalodon tooth. The office staff, particularly Gina and Kim, earn glowing praise for being responsive, helpful, and going the extra mile with everything from booking questions to loading luggage and bikes. What stands out is the variety of experiences available and how well the team executes across the board. Whether you're catching a water taxi to Daufuskie Island, celebrating a bachelorette party on a private charter, taking a fossil tour, or spotting dolphins, guests consistently describe captains who enhance the experience by sharing local expertise and making spontaneous stops to catch sunsets or wildlife. The customer service shines through at every touchpoint, with multiple reviewers noting how accommodating and friendly everyone is. The shark tooth tours particularly benefit from their proximity to prime hunting spots and insider knowledge that puts you on the best finds.
What a cool day! Wasn’t sure if I believed that we were going to easily find shark teeth, but lo and behold it is true! Each of the five of us came away with at least five or six or more teeth from shark, Sperm whale, mastodon, and megalodon teeth. Wow. We weren’t expecting to pick up items beyond the sharks teeth, but we ended up with cobblestones from the early 1900s, a brick from an old building and a chunk of pottery from something huge. Captain Nick was so knowledgeable about everything we picked up on the beach! What an amazing scavenger hunt. BTW I agree with their recommendation to wear water shoes/socks. Great day. Highly recommend.
