5.00We had a fabulous time on our sunset cruise. It was a great way to kick off our wedding celebration. Our out of town guests loved it and was the perfect way for them to get to know one another before our wedding. Dave, our captain was personable and professional. We enjoyed his company. He let us dance and have fun. The sunset was beautiful and the cruise was longer than expected. We highly recommend him and the company.

We had a great time and...

5.00Our group of 10 family members had a great time with Capt. Dave. He took us all around May River. It was a gorgeous night after a day of raining weather. The ride was smooth and we saw an abundance of dolphins and manta rays. We were able to bring food and drinks on board and Dave hooked our music up to his boat’s speakers. He shared some information about the area, which was nice. It was a great experience that we highly recommended.

5.00The sunset cruise was a fantastic experience. Beautiful views and an amazing ride. The icing on the cake was having the best captain.... Captain Neil was so attentive and accommodating. He was a pleasure to be around and helped to create an inviting atmosphere. Throughout the entire cruise, we were able to listen to our curated playlist on his high quality sound system. Hands down a 5-star experience.
Excellent Boat Tour!

5.00Captain Dave you rock! Our family and friends group of 10 thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hours at m the boat. We saw many pods of dolphins, jet skiers, and parasailers as we went down the intercostal and back from their ne end of the island to the other. Capt. Dave have lots of historical info and fun facts about the areas of the island as we passed them. I’ve been coming to HHI for 25 years and had never taken a boat tour. Now I can’t imagine a future trip without coming back on this private tour with this company. We loved every moment, thank you!!!!
Fabulous sunset cruise
