We had a wonderful experience on our trip! We saw multiple pods of dolphins, even a few calfs. We found so many shells we had sort through them and put tons back, you’ll be blown away how many shells there are on Morris island. Billy was a great Captain, he was considerate, generous and flexible. Book this cruise, you won’t regret it!

Had a nice evening trip to Morris Island. Girls, ages 3 and 6, loved seeing dolphins and searching for sand dollars.

I loved the personal experience with just our family. Billy was welcoming and open to answering any questions. It was exactly what my daughter was looking for to experience the marsh and the lighthouse.
Any day on a boat is a good day!
