2 - Hour Private Hilton Head Morning Dolphin Watching / Sail
Overview
This 2 hour Private Morning Sailing tour, the Captain will take you to Port Royal Sound (North side of the island - generally best conditions for sailing). During the MORNING, this is generally a calm - light wind relaxing sail, a great way to start off the morning or a great day of vacation. The morning tours are usually full with wildlife such as dolphins, birds, sting ray and Manatee which are some of the great wildlife that are often very prevalent in the morning. You will also have some great scenic views of Hilton head, Pickney island, Paris island, Lady's island and Bay island to mention a few.
This sail trip is typically more on the calm side of things and would recommend for individuals that don't know how they would handle the more adventurous and exciting winds of the afternoon sail trips. This is also a great opportunity to anchor and swim off the boat if your group would like.

What To Expect
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
