    With an exceptional track record and nearly perfect ratings, this outfitter delivers consistently memorable experiences on the water. Multiple captains earn praise throughout the reviews, particularly Fred and Chris, who stand out for their deep knowledge of local ecology, history, and wildlife. Guests rave about their engaging personalities and ability to make every trip feel special, whether it's a fishing charter, dolphin tour, or historical river excursion. The dolphin encounters are repeatedly described as exceptional, with pods often swimming alongside the boat for extended periods. Captains demonstrate real expertise in finding wildlife, including strand feeding displays and bald eagle sightings that guests compare to National Geographic experiences. Fishing charters produce impressive catches, and specialty trips like crabbing excursions are handled with patience and enthusiasm, even with excited children on board. Families particularly appreciate how well captains accommodate all ages, from babies to grandparents. The May River setting offers access to beautiful areas you can't reach by car, making this a standout way to explore the Bluffton region.

    Wow, what an unforgettable evening on this May River sunset cruise. From the moment our family stepped aboard our Captain Freddy made our evening together truly exceptional. First, we were amazed that our trip departed with just the 3 of us. Our boat was very clean and quiet. As we cruised around the May River, Captain Freddy shared so many fascinating facts about dolphins and the area. We were lucky to encounter at least 4 pods of dolphins. Plus, we saw baby dolphins less than one month old. The beauty of the May River, with its vistas of marsh grasses, birds, dolphins, and serenity, makes this cruise a five-star trip in itself. Our evening ended with a beautiful sunset and a leaping dolphin. Truly magical.
