Sad
I’m not sure exactly what the cruise was like so I can’t honestly rate the tour. However, I’ve reach out to the company several times without a response. I came to dock at 730 as advised to check in and then became very ill. We were not acknowledged at the deck until 745 when told someone was coming. I then had to leave and was told to call back tomorrow to see if anything could be done related to rescheduling or refund. This was yesterday but still haven’t gotten a response or call back. 😔

Lovely afternoon on the water with fantastic crew
Words will not accurately describe this experience, but I will try: First sail on a catamaran and with the perfect captain and first mate!! Jim and Robbie were great! You can tell they have been sailing for a long time. Their experience was very apparent. Jim was eager to share some of that experience and Robbie was quite knowledgeable about points of interest on the cruise. Both were offering great tips on places to visit and eat on the island as well. Ride out and in was relaxing and wonderful. Was a special experience!!

No communication
Very disappointed. Was looking forward to this tour, received a text at 5 pm confirming where to check in. Paid for an uber to get there and no one was there . I texted and called and received a reply “ sorry it’s cancelled someone should have contacted you”. The only contact I received was confirming to come meet them 2 hours prior . This was a waste of our time and money on a ride to the port. Very disappointing in lack of communication . Waiting on a refund and compensation for our time and money on Ubers.

Took the sunset fireworks...
Took the sunset fireworks cruise. Boat was brand new and Captain/crew very friendly. Wish there was a little more narration when we were riding in the creek. Would have been nice to learn some things about Hilton head. Also wish there was the ability to purchase water, soft drinks on board. Captain said we could’ve brought our own, but that wasn’t clearly stated when I booked the trip.

Dolphins, beautiful scenery, and fireworks!
Our two guides were great. We saw dolphins and looked at the houses along the marina before seeing the fireworks. Giving it only 4 stars because there weren’t enough seats for everyone so my boyfriend and I had to stand majority of the ride. Other than that, a wonderful experience!
Operator response
Thanks for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the dolphin sightings and views on your Island Head Firework Cruise. We apologize for the seating issue and hope to see you again soon.
