5.00Booked a sunset cruise. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate and was cloudy. We still had the best time. Captain PD was very knowledgeable of the area and took us to all the best sightseeing spots. Even though we didn’t get to see the sunset we still had plenty of cool sights to see including the lighthouse and the dolphins. Can’t wait to book more excursions with this small business in the future. It was definitely a one of a kind adventure and money well spent
Amazing ride!!

5.00We had a great time with Captain PD. It was like being on the boat with a friend. He was fun to chat with, but also respectful of our personal conversations. He was very informative and found us lots of dolphins. He offered to take pictures for us and they turned out great! The estuary was beautiful. The ride was smooth (nobody even spilled their red wine) with the wind in our hair and the sun setting. Incredible evening and money well spent. This is a MUST do tour! Thanks PD for a memorable evening.
Lovely evening ride

It was a peaceful and gorgeous boat ride and he had lots of information about the local ecosystem and history of Morris Island. We loved taking in the scenery and enjoying the fresh air. Highly recommend!
