I am Captain Gresh Meggett and I am an eighth generation Charlestonian. My family has been plying these waters since the early 1700s. These beautiful estuaries that we will be traveling on were my playground as a kid and I still get just as I was excited when I go into them now! All of my boat charters are private so it is just you and your family on the boat if you would like full details as to what we do on my excursions please visit my website. I can’t wait to hear from y’all!
We’ll ride through our beautiful estuaries filled with oysters, dolphins and wildlife! We’ll look for shells and artifacts on Morris Island as well!

Great tour! Captain was awesome and very knowledgeable! Would recommend to anyone wanting to explore offshore.
Thank ya’ll! I’m so grateful to have such a beautiful estuary to share with everyone. Dolphins, birds, history… this place has it all. I love the back yard I grew up in! Hope to see ya again. Thank you!
Our boat tour was awesome, saw lots of birds, crabs, a few dolphins! Best part was having a knowledgeable and experienced captain!! Smooth ride very friendly would recommend this to everyone even if you never been on a boat!
Thanks guys! Enjoyed having ya’ll on the boat as well! Deer and eagles were pretty cool too. Hope to see you and your family again!
This was an amazing cruise! Saw plenty of dolphins and there is so much history surrounding Morris Island. Gresh is local and a wealth of knowledge. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much! I always enjoy showing and sharing the part of Charleston and Folly Beach most people never see. Hope to see ya’ll again!
Geresh was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about the area
Thanks guys! Enjoyed having ya’ll on the boat and hope to see you again!
This was such an amazing excursion! The guide was exceptionally flexible and knowledgeable. He worked with us to reschedule when our scheduled day/time was stormy. We saw multiple dolphins and the guide was careful to avoid disturbing them. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour!
Always willing to work with my customers. That’s one of the reasons why running private trips is so important to me! Glad to have found the dolphins for you as well!
Our boat ride with Capt Gresh was the highlight of our trip! Not only did we see some dolphins but a bald eagle as well. Will definitely book again on our next trip.
See you next time and safe travels! Me and the wildlife will be here!
A private tour like this was perfect. Our group thought this adventure made our trip! Captain Geresh is a gem. He gave us the greatest dolphin experience. We watched a dolphin teaching her calf to fish plus a group of dolphins Strand Feeding. He gave us interesting history of the island and lighthouse. He gave us time for shelling too! Captain Geresh worked around rainy weather to make sure we received the full experience. Thank you Captain!
Thanks ya’ll! Enjoyed having you on the boat. Glad we had the opportunity to see the strand feeding with the dolphins. Like I said you’re some of the only people in the world to actually witness this. Thank you again!
Captain Gresh a local native was awesome and this was the highlight of our trip to Charleston! He was super knowledgeable of area, history and wildlife. He was very accommodating for us and our 1 year old golden retriever. Morris island was beautiful and relaxing. We saw numerous dolphins during the entire charter. Captain Gresh wasn’t ever in a hurry and made the trip very enjoyable. Definitely will book again. Give him a call. You won’t be disappointed. Support your original local Guy!!!
Thank ya’ll! Enjoyed having you and the sweet pup on the boat. Thank you for the feedback about being a native captain. You don’t know how much that means to those of us that were born and raised here. See you again soon I hope!
Capt Gresh did a great job with giving background and historical information on the area in general as well with covering the wildlife. It was very cool to get up close to the Morris Island lighthouse.
We went with Captain Gresh in the morning June 2, 2025, out to Morris Island. He told us a lot about the area along the way, stopped to do some great photo ops with dolphins, and made our trip very enjoyable. Is an excellent captain, the island is beautiful, the charger is everything promised. Our nine-year-old daughter loved it, her four year-old son liked the boat ride because it was nice and calm. A real five star trip.
Glad everyone enjoyed the trip! Always fun for me having truly interested guests on the boat. Kids were awesome. Fun for me showing the next generation our beautiful waterways! Dolphins said “hey” kids!
