FAQ'S
Who are we going out with?
We only hire local knowledgeable guides. Each is a USCG certified Captain with CPR/ First Aid training. Most of our guides live on Hilton Head Island year round and enjoy being on the water at least 200 days per year.
Specified guides are available upon request and we get a lot of requests from return customers to go out with their favorite Captain. After one day on the water with us, you might as well come back tomorrow…
What do we bring?
Bathing suits, Sunscreen and Protective Clothing, Bottles of Water, and Small Snacks for Children. We can provide a cooler with ice upon request. One large bag to hold everything is preferable, so as to not have little bags cluttering the boat.
Beachcombing trips require some type of water shoes or sandals, buckets or plastic bags for shells, and lots of sunscreen or protective clothing. White T-shirts are not opaque enough to block the sun's burning rays!
Fireworks/Sunset Booze cruises are available every evening between 6 and 9pm. Adults 21 and up are permitted to bring beer or wine but we prefer if you leave the hard stuff at home. Also, you would be surprised how many adults we take out who need to use the restroom during this boat ride.
Fishing Trips also require lots of sunscreen BEFORE you get on the boat. Fish do not bite baits with sunscreen on them. If you forget to put sunscreen on beforehand, the Captain will assign one person only who handles the sunscreen.
Where do we depart from?
We depart daily from Broad Creek Marina, 18 Simmons Rd. Hilton Head Island, 29926. Once you turn onto Simmons Rd., take your first right where it says "All Tours Parking". Park near the water and walk up to the yellow barn. Follow the signs to our window for sign-up before the trip.
When are the trips and tours scheduled?
Our trips run daily out of Broad Creek Marina. Each Trip/Tour/Camp requires reservation ahead of time. We run Monday to Saturday 8am - 8pm and Sunday 10am -8pm.
How much is the Cost?
Most of our trips are Custom Adventure Tours lasting 4, 6, or 8 hours. The 4 Hour Custom Adventure Tours is our most requested. These trips can involve: Fishing Crabbing, Shrimping, Tubing, Water-skiing, Beachcombing, Lunch or Dinner on Surrounding Barrier Islands, and a whole lot more. The 8 Hr Full Day trips are best for those looking to having the entire Lowcountry experience. Although they are not cheap, this will be the highlight of your vacation, Guaranteed!
Weather?
Weather in the Lowcountry is very changeable. We monitor the weather constantly to make everyone, including the Captain, feel safe out there on the water. Communication between the Marina and the Captain is essential, but if that fails, we still have radar on our smart phones while on the water.
* If you have made reservations, please come to the dock no matter what the weather looks like. We will charge those who do not show up. If it is absolutely obvious that we are not going to be able to go out, we will call you to cancel, with offers to reschedule. Please be courteous and don't leave your Captain waiting for you on the dock.
