    Captain Billy was so patient and good with us; eased us in the water while looking for dolphins. We got to see several dolphins, including a momma with her calf! My daughters loved looking for shells on the beach too. They both found full sand dollars and some beautiful shells. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a fun dolphin expedition.

    The captain was very helpful and had a vast knowledge of the area. This was the best trip my family has had in SC ever will definitely recommend to anyone that I know can’t wait to book again

    Best money spent for family activity

    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...

    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.

    We had a great time. Captain Billy was chill and very accommodating. I would definitely recommend. We went in the early morning before the heat kicked in and that was clutch.
