Great time on the water! - Great time on the water with Captain Neil. We had two grandchildren with us and he went above and beyond to ensure they enjoyed the experience. Saw dolphins and went shelling on a private beach. Also felt very safe on a clean newer boat. Will do this again!

100% Best Option in Hilton Head Island - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our family of five had an absolutely incredible experience with Hilton Head Boat Charters! We went out with Neil, the founder, on one of his speed boats, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. The tour was completely customizable, which made it feel so much more personal than a typical boat excursion. Neil took us to Daufuskie Island, showed us several of the beautiful islands surrounding Hilton Head, and guided us through scenic creeks and waterways we never would have discovered on our own. The best part was seeing so many dolphins up close. They were playing, jumping, and swimming all around the boat. It was truly unforgettable. Neil was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and shared so much interesting information throughout the trip, while also making sure everyone was having fun. He let us swim, jump off the top of the boat, and tailor the day to exactly what our family wanted to do. If you're visiting Hilton Head and looking for a unique experience on the water, I can't recommend Hilton Head Boat Charters enough. Neil was kind, professional, and made our day absolutely perfect. We will definitely book again the next time we're in town!

Book it! - This is the second dolphin tour we've done with HH Boat Charters - great experiences both times. The captains are so friendly and know their way around all the good spots for sightings. Having a small, private group size is just so much more enjoyable - totally worth it. Two hours on the water is just right - you're sure to see some amazing wildlife!

Amazing Dolphin Cruise with Captain Dave - Captain Dave was great! Our 2-hour dolphin charter cruise through the island coves and channels was filled with beautiful scenery, fascinating information about the island and marine life, and several dolphin sightings. The ride was relaxing, fun, and informative. Highly recommend this excursion for anyone visiting the area!
