Details & Important Info
Additional Experience Details & Important Information
We would like to go over a few tips to help your arrival to Harbour Town Yacht Basin go as smooth as possible.
- The Vagabond Cruise fleet is located within the Sea Pines Resort, which is a resort community located on the south side of Hilton Head Island. There is a $9.00 (cash only) entry fee per vehicle that is required to guests entering the resort for a daily pass.
- Parking is very limited in Harbour Town. We recommend arriving at least 1-hour (if not more) prior to departure for any of our evening tours. As you enter Harbour Town you will find two large parking lots on your left side of Lighthouse Rd. broken up by a playground. You will also notice while entering Harbour Town a large overflow gravel parking lot on your right side. These are your best options for parking when you arrive.
- Free Sea Pines Trolley Transportation - From Memorial Day through Labor Day it’s highly recommended for all guests who are joining us on a sunset tours to park within the Sea Pines Trolley Lot. Sea Pines offers a FREE trolley service within the resort allowing an easy drop off for guests directly in Harbour Town. The Sea Pines Trolley Lot is located about 100-yard past the Greenwood Drive entry gate on your left-hand side. This would be considered the RED LINE TROLLEY. Trolleys run continuous loops to Harbour Town, and pickup every 10 to 15 minutes. Trolleys will run transportation from Harbour Town up until 10PM being the last trolley to leave. To view the trolleys in real time you visit the following website; https://www.seapinestrolley.com/map
-TUESDAY FIREWORKS All guests coming for the Fireworks Cruise on Tuesday evenings please DO NOT park in the Trolley lot as service back to this lot stops at 10PM, and something we run a little late back to the dock to catch the last trolley to the lot.
- BOARDING - All our cruises will begin boarding 30-minutes prior to departure time. If your tickets have been purchased online and you are fully paid, you may go directly to your cruise vessel for boarding if you have a mobile or printed version of your boarding pass pulled up.
-CHECK-IN - You only need to check-in at our reservation office before boarding if you need to turn in vouchers to us or if you are not paid in full yet. Also feel free to stop in and ask our Passenger Service Crew any questions you have prior to boarding, we would be happy to assist.
