Couldn’t ask for a better guide - Captain Kelly Pierce is the best! We did a dolphin tour around May River leaving from Palmetto Bluff, and he was so kind and knowledgeable about the area. Have him take you by the old oyster shack and the church by Old Bluffton!

Fantastic Charter tour with Outside Hilton Head and Captain Boo!! - Charter boat tour with Captain Boo was fantastic! We booked a sunset charter tour with Outside Hilton Head for our anniversary. Albeit a bit expensive, we were so very happy to have booked it. The tour has a 13 person max occupancy, but we happened to be the only 2! The captain met us at the Outside store on West River Street in Savannah and introduced himself as Captain Boo. ( Andrew is his real name) He took us out towards the ocean to hopefully see some dolphins and their calves. We cannot say enough about Captain Boo! What knowledge he has about all the different waterways and islands around Savannah and Hilton Head. Enormous amount of historical tidbits and stories. It was a delightful tour! Especially because of Captain Boo and especially since we did get to see the dolphins! We highly recommend the tours and we totally recommend asking for Captain Boo. You will not be disappointed! Cheers to the Captain for making our anniversary extra special. We will never forget the wonderful time we had! Thank you!

Amazing adventure! - The cruise was fabulous! Our guide, Captain Dean, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable about nature and the island history. He went above and beyond to insure that we saw dolphins. We also saw osprey, a manatee and a loggerhead sea turtle. All in all a fantastic adventure. We recommend the cruise highly. Ask for Captain Dean!

Terrific experience- Must try! - It could’ve been the perfect weather, the immediate dolphin sightings, the fact that the other families on the boat were super chill or that Captain Dan and Outside Hilto Head were awesome to deal with, but, overall, it was such an awesome adventure! Great atmosphere, super easy booking, and great value. We’ve used Outside Hilton Head many times and highly recommend them and Captain Dan!

Wonderful experience - Dean was a great tour guide. We saw baby dolphins with their mothers! He stopped the boat to pick up plastic debris, which is harmful to sea turtles. Bravo! Loved the tour!
