Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Not sure what to do on Hilton Head? The island is full of amazing opportunities and new adventures! We want to help you make the most of your vacation.
Where are you located?
We are located at Hilton Head Harbor on the north end of Hilton Head. Our address is 43 Jenkins Road, Hilton Head, SC 29926.
What should I bring?
Bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (no spray sunscreen—it stains our boat seats), and any food and beverages that you would like. During the off-season, we always recommend bringing, at the very least, a warm sweatshirt. In the winter months, we recommend jackets—it can get chilly out there.
What time should we be there for our tour?
Please arrive 15 minutes early for your tour to ensure a timely departure.
Do you provide parking?
The marina provides parking at a charge of $15 per car per two-hour tour. We have included that in your booking fee. If you have more cars than originally anticipated, please let us know, and we will add the additional parking fee to your bill.
Where do we meet you once we park our car?
Head to the water and the docks. There are picnic tables and a gazebo you can hang out at. Your captain will come and get you prior to your tour.
Can we be picked up somewhere other than your address?
The quick answer is no—it throws our entire schedule off. We will sometimes make rare exceptions in the off-season (September–April), but we do not pick up at any time at Sea Pines, Palmetto Bay Marina, Shelter Cove, South Beach Marina, Wexford, or Broad Creek Marina.
How many people can I bring on my charter?
- 24’ Key West – Six passengers. That includes children of all sizes and adults. This is per USCG regulations.
- 28’ Beach Cat (Large Group) – Seven to 20 passengers.
- 37’ Luxury Cruiser – Up to 12 passengers.
Will other people be on my charter?
No. All of our charters are 100% private.
Will we see the dolphins?
Yes, we always see dolphins on all of our tours.
Do your boats have bathrooms?
They do not. Please be sure to use the facilities at the marina prior to departure.
Do you have life jackets on board for children?
Yes, but you are welcome to bring your own if you have one. All children 12 or under must wear a life jacket per USCG regulations.
Can I bring my own food/beverages?
Yes. Feel free to bring any food and beverages you would like. If you bring red wine, please be sure to bring a cup with a lid and a straw to protect against spills.
What not to bring?
Spray suntan lotion—it stains our seats. Also—bananas—boaters are a superstitious breed.
Can we go fishing?
We do not provide fishing charter services but can make good recommendations upon request.
Can we go tubing?
We do not offer water sports.
Can we go to a sandbar?
If the tides and timing of your tour permit, we love going to sandbars. This is for two-hour and four-hour cruises only.
Do you have custom tours?
Yes, we offer four-hour and six-hour custom tours. We also customize our two-hour tours based on what kind of experience our guests are looking to have.
I am organizing a Hilton Head Bachelorette Party. Do you guys handle those?
Yes, absolutely. We have a four-hour offering that is perfect for parties of up to 20 people. If you have a party of less than six people, we can handle that too.
I am proposing to my fiancé. Do you guys handle that sort of thing?
We absolutely handle that and have several great remote locations that are perfect for that.
Are gratuities included in our fare?
Gratuities for your captain are customary and are not included in your fare. Normal rates are between 15-20% of the value of your tour.
Do you provide Daufuskie Water Taxi Service?
Unfortunately, we no longer provide this service. Your best bet is to contact the Daufuskie Island Ferry or Island Head.
Do you offer refreshments?
No, but you are welcome to bring your own.
