Our 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.

Sunset Cruise Amazing Low Country Experience!

We had two families ages from 16-60 on the sunset cruise. Neil was a great captain. He let us play our own tunes and shared with us details on parts of our trip along the way. Tons of dolphin watching and other wildlife. He was very knowledgeable and also completely relaxed and easy-going.
