What to Expect on the Water

You’ll leave the dock about an hour and a half before sunset, cruise past the Marshwalk and through the jetties, and ride the beachfront as the light goes gold. The captain positions the boat for the sunset over the marsh, then brings you home in the afterglow with the skyline lighting up to the north.

A typical evening includes:

  • Sunset over the salt marsh and inlet, the best vantage point on the Grand Strand
  • Dolphins feeding in the evening, a regular sight on this cruise
  • The Murrells Inlet jetties and the Myrtle Beach skyline from open water
  • Calm evening seas most nights, the most comfortable ride of the day
