You can't do long-term parking in front of the shop at 83 Center St. Use the gravel lot for quick drop-off/pick-up only, and don't park in front of Folly's Best Rentals. If you need to park during your activity, park at the public boat landing and avoid trailer spaces (they ticket non-trailered vehicles). If the landing is full, you can use free street parking on Folly Beach where allowed, with all four tires off the street and parked with the flow of traffic.
Bring water, sunglasses/hat, clothes and shoes that can get wet, and a jacket during cooler months. You can bring your own drinks if you'd like. You can also bring your favorite character's head shot on a stick.
Expect a go/no-go weather call about one hour before departure. If the captain deems conditions unsafe and cancels, you'll be offered the option to reschedule or receive a full refund.

With an impressive track record of consistently happy guests, this boat tour operation has clearly mastered the art of showing off Charleston's waterways. The captains, particularly Davis, Will, and Richard, earn praise not just for their piloting skills but for their engaging personalities and deep knowledge of the area. Guests rave about abundant dolphin sightings, including the special treat of watching strand feeding, plus opportunities to hunt for shark teeth and shells at Morris Island. The experience seems flexible enough to work for different occasions, from family outings with young kids to bachelorette parties. Popular offerings include tours to Morris Island Lighthouse and the Outer Banks filming locations, and captains appear genuinely enthusiastic about sharing local wildlife and history. The vibe is relaxed yet attentive, with thoughtful touches like good music playlists adding to the overall enjoyment. It's the kind of tour where repeat customers keep bringing their visiting friends back.
Best thing we did all week! Captain Tony was fantastic! Found us so many dolphins right beside the boat. Lots of wildlife and sights to see! Thank you for the memories. Can’t wait to come back!
