    With an exceptional track record and nearly perfect ratings, this outfitter delivers consistently memorable experiences on the water. Multiple captains earn praise throughout the reviews, particularly Fred and Chris, who stand out for their deep knowledge of local ecology, history, and wildlife. Guests rave about their engaging personalities and ability to make every trip feel special, whether it's a fishing charter, dolphin tour, or historical river excursion. The dolphin encounters are repeatedly described as exceptional, with pods often swimming alongside the boat for extended periods. Captains demonstrate real expertise in finding wildlife, including strand feeding displays and bald eagle sightings that guests compare to National Geographic experiences. Fishing charters produce impressive catches, and specialty trips like crabbing excursions are handled with patience and enthusiasm, even with excited children on board. Families particularly appreciate how well captains accommodate all ages, from babies to grandparents. The May River setting offers access to beautiful areas you can't reach by car, making this a standout way to explore the Bluffton region.

    My husband and son booked a fishing trip with May River excursions. I was a last minute addition. Captain Chris was a wonderful, accommodating host, captain, and teacher. I would highly recommend and will definitely book again. Seeing the dolphins 🐬 was an added bonus!
