Boat tour, beach time, guide
Ride by boat through Folly Beach waterways and spend time exploring Morris Island at low tide. Search the shoreline for shells and shark teeth while your guide shares local nature and history along the way.
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.
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.
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.

Our dolphin sunset cruise was unforgettable. Captain Will was amazing—knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. We saw dolphins up close, and the whole trip felt magical as the sun set over the water. It was an extremely awesome time from start to finish. Highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.
