The Morning trips are generally calmer winds and therefore we spend a little more time looking for dolphins than we do sailing. However if we do have good sailing winds, we will certainly go sail if possible. This is typically a gentle motor ride through the beautiful intercoastal waterways of Hilton Head where it is very rare to pass through without seeing an abundance of wildlife such as dolphins, birds (pelicans, egrets, bald eagles) as well as some great scenery.
We allow our guests to be as involved in the sailing process as they would like. If you would like to be involved you will be winching sail sheets, moving the sails from side to side when we change direction, handling lines, along with steering the boat and navigating under the supervision of the Captain. If you would like to have a relaxing ride, you are welcome to just come, kick your feet up and relax - do nothing - and we will take care of the rest
