Top Folly Beach Water Tours

I am Captain Gresh Meggett and I am an eighth generation Charlestonian. My family has been plying these waters since the early 1700s. These beautiful estuaries that we will be traveling on were my playground as a kid and I still get just as I was excited when I go into them now! All of my boat charters are private so it is just you and your family on the boat if you would like full details as to what we do on my excursions please visit my website. I can’t wait to hear from y’all!
