    Things to know

    Plan to arrive at 83 Center Street, Folly Beach, 10–15 minutes before your scheduled start time. Gratuity for your captain and crew is not included.

    Cancellation Policy

    Cancellations within 48 hours of your tour are non-refundable. We do not cancel due to weather until about one hour before departure. If the captain deems conditions unsafe and cancels, you can reschedule or receive a full refund. If the tour runs and you choose not to attend, standard policies apply.

    FAQs

    Bring water, sunglasses or a hat, and sunscreen. Wear clothes and shoes that can get wet, and bring a jacket during cooler months.

    Use the gravel lot at 83 Center Street for quick drop-off and pick-up only—there is no long-term parking in front of the shop. If you need to park for the duration, use the public boat landing and avoid trailer-only spaces. If the landing is full, you can park on Folly Beach where allowed, with all four tires off the street and parked with the flow of traffic.

    Food and beverages are not included. You can bring your own drinks.

    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.
