Build a private 7-hour Lowcountry day with boating, water sports, and island options
7 hours
Up to 6 people
Boat, gear, USCG captain
Plan a custom private day for your family or small group in coastal Carolina. Choose from a menu of on-the-water activities and destinations, with a captain and guide included.
Cancel up to 48 hours in advance. After that, you will be charged the full amount. Weather cancellations are at Outside's sole discretion; if they cancel due to weather, there will be no charge or they will issue a credit for any payments made.
Wear clothes that work for a walk on the beach. The boat ride can feel cooler (like the current temperature with air-conditioning), so bring an extra outer layer or shell. Bring sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen) and a bottle of water for each person. In spring and fall mornings and evenings, bring bug spray.
This custom day is designed for a family or small group looking to spend a full day exploring coastal Carolina together.
Your Ultimate Day includes boat transportation, equipment, a United States Coast Guard (USCG) licensed captain, and a guide.
This activity will meet at the Paddle House which is located underneath the Canoe Club Restaurant. Address: 41 Boat House St. Bluffton, SC 29910
This operation stands out for its exceptional guides who truly know their stuff. Travelers consistently praise captains like Pete, Kelly, Dan, and Dean for their deep knowledge of local history, marine life, and the Gullah community. The guides don't just drive boats or lead tours—they actively search for dolphins, share fascinating facts about the marshland ecosystem, and make every outing feel personalized and engaging. The variety of experiences impresses visitors too. You can choose from dolphin tours, kayaking excursions through the marsh, eBike adventures, or historic trips to Daufuskie Island. Reviewers mention spotting tons of dolphins up close, catching gorgeous sunsets, and learning about everything from feeding behaviors to local flora and fauna. Multiple families with young children had wonderful experiences, with guides like CT providing appropriately sized equipment and keeping kids entertained. What really shines through is how genuinely friendly and caring these guides are—people specifically request them by name and remember their tours as trip highlights.
Had a great paddle in Hilton Head. Our guide Michael, was very knowledgeable, very patient, and very friendly. Can’t wait to go again!
