Went on the shark fishing charter with captain Ryan yesterday and had a great time! We caught 15+ shark in 3 hours. We had one on the line the whole time, sometimes even two or three sharks on. Would highly recommend this charter. Captain was great, jammed to some good music, and took care of us the whole time. This charter will not disappoint.
Disappointed in “dolphin” cruise. Saw a few dolphin tails in the distance. Captain did not give us very much information about our surroundings. He seem to enjoy going very fast and spraying us with the ocean.
We had an awesome time on our dolphin tour with Captain Ryan! My kids, ages 7 and 5, were thrilled to see the dolphins and loved “going fast” on the boat. Highly recommend.
We had an absolute blast. Each person caught and brought in multiple sharks. Captain Ryan did an amazing job helping us and giving us tidbits about the area. My family is thinking about making this a yearly thing to do now when we come to Hilton Head. I’d recommend this to anybody visiting the area.
Captian Ryan is amazing!!! We cant say enough about how fun this trip was! We did the Vanishing Island and dolphin tour!!! It was amazing!! We saw so many dolphins we lost count! The island was so cool!! Captian Ryan was so knowledgeable! He shared so much information about the island, waters and animals!! The trip was a learning experience as well as so fascinating! Very highly recommend!!!
Captain Ryan is one in a million! This was by far my favorite part of our trip to Hilton Head! We saw so many dolphins and vanishing island was really cool. Captain Ryan shared so much history of the surrounding islands. We HIGHLY recommend Captain Ryan and Blue Pearl Marine tours!!
We had a great time today with Captain Ryan! Our kids first boat trip and we saw lots of dolphins and collected so many treasures on vanishing island! We loved learning so much and will certainly be returning.
My husband and I did a sunset dolphin cruise with Capt. Ryan and it was an amazing time. He gave us an awesome tour and lots of information. Then when it came to the dolphins we got to see so many and a few came right up to the boat, we could have touched them!! He knew some of the dolphins names and lots of interesting facts about them. It was breathtaking to see these beautiful creatures in their natural habit. Thank you Capt. Ryan for the perfect cruise!!
My wife and I had an awesome time shark fishing with Captain Ryan. He is very knowledgeable about not only fishing but the Hilton Head area as well. We saw dolphins and a sea turtle on the way to the fishing spot and were educated on the landmarks and geography of the island. Upon anchoring at the fishing spot we quickly started reeling in sharks and each pulled in 3 or 4 which we had the opportunity to hold and photograph before releasing. Captain Ryan is very easy going and we enjoyed his company as much as the excursion. Book a trip with Captain Ryan and you will not be disappointed.
My family and I took a beachcombing trip to Vanishing island with Blue Pearl Marine Tours and we all LOVED IT!!! Capt. Ryan anchored the boat while we got off on the island and comb the beach. It was so peaceful and to put the icing on the cake we got to cruise around the water and got to see dolphins and other wildlife after we boarded the boat again. Capt. Ryan is super easy going, knowledgeable and patient. We will definitely be booking him again for another adventure on the water. This beats anything you get to see sitting or walking on a public beach! See you soon Capt. Ryan!
Captan Ryan made sure our trip was perfect. Very professional and personable. We caught a bunch of sharks and had a great time.
Had a great time with Captain Ryan. We will definitely book future trips with him. Every part of the experience was easy as well from booking the trip to locating the dock for pick up.
My husband and I took a dolphin tour for our anniversary. Capt. Ryan knew right where they would be! The best part about Blue Pearl Marine is that this is a COVID safe adventure with your group only and customizable for what you want to do. Capt. Ryan is kind, knowledgeable, and respectable. I highly recommend over any of the larger companies.
My husband and I, along with our 3 children had a blast with Captain Ryan on the shark fishing tour! It was the highlight of our trip...don’t hesitate to book with Blue Pearl Marine Tours.
Our family of six went on a three hour shark fishing trip with Captain Ryan and it was the most memorable event of our vacation. The boys had a blast catching and holding sharks while our daughter enjoyed all of the very close dolphin sightings. Captain Ryan educated us about marine life as well as Hilton Head Island geography and it’s great places to eat. To top it off, none of us brought a cell phone thinking that everyone else had theirs but Captain Ryan allowed us to capture precious moments with his phone and took the time to send them to us later. It was truly an awesome experience!~ Amy Poliey
We had a great shark fishing morning with Captain Ryan. We caught several types of sharks and had a nice boat ride out to the fishing location.
My husband and I have lived on HH for more than 40 years and are always looking for new fun ways to explore the island! We spent an afternoon with Blue Pearl Marine Tours and cant wait to do it again! We did a dolphin cruise with the kids and they loved it! Ryan was great and knowledgeable! Blue Pearl is our go to for days in the water! Cant wait to take friends and family that visit out on a trip!!!!!
My husband and I along with our 3yr old did a dolphin tour. We had a blast and loved being able to see all the dolphins. We will def be doing other tours in the future.
Went shark fishing with my family! We had a wonderful time with Ryan. He was knowledgeable and friendly. We caught lots of different sharks and also got to see some landmarks on the surrounding islands as well as dolphins! Would definitely recommend!! :)
We did a day trip to Daufuskie Island with Capt. Ryan and it was awesome!! We saw lots of dolphin on the way, rode some golf carts around the island, had lunch and visited the little museum on the island. He was super knowledgeable and gave us lots of info pointed out things we would of never noticed! we will be using Blue pearl Marine every time we return. Thank you, Capt. Ryan see you next time
I have been on tours in Boston and Alaska but this one was my favorite. Capt. Ryan knows his stuff and the best places to see dolphins, best of all its only one and a half hours from home. Cant wait to booked a tour this summer to take the grandkids on. So if youre thinking of a tour to take this is by far the one to take.
Captain Maley will not disappoint you. He knows the area extremely well and provides information about local sites. He is extremely accommodating and truly made the trip an experience that will last a lifetime.
First time shark fishing, so Capt Ryan made sure he took extra good care of my group. Highly recommend!
Can’t say enough about our experience with Capt. Ryan- he knows the water ways in this area and was a wealth of information about the environment too. I highly recommend this company and the boating experience...
Captian Ryan answered my questions prior to booking in a very timely manner. Our shark fishing started at 8 am as we booked. Captain Ryan was very knowledgeable and patient. All four of us caught 2 to 3 sharks each. I was lucky enough to pull in a Carolina welcome mat! aka a sting ray. We all felt it was money well spent for great Hilton Head memories.A few side notes if you are like me... you may want to know. You will not be keeping the sharks to eat apparently they are alot of work to prepare to even eat. Dont worry about taking a lot of stuff with you on the boat. A small cooler with water is really all we needed. As well as a emergency bottle of dramamine just in case someone gets sea sick. I wish we would have taken the trip earlier in the week because we got a lot of useful information about the area like where to eat or not. As well as other nearby area info. Most importantly bring some cash for a tip! Captain Ryan is great you will want to tip him!
We have gone on a few boat tours in our lives but I have to say that this was by far our favorite. Ryan is the best, not once was I nervous about being out in the ocean with my child. (Who is an over protective mother? 🙋♀️) But seriously, I am usually nervous and pay more attention to my child rather than the tour; but I felt safe with Ryan guiding us around. I even was able to relax so much that I extremely enjoyed myself. Then when we came across the pod of dolphins I swear I was a kid again. They got so close that I could have reached out and touched them. My girl and I were in heaven! I highly recommend a tour with Ryan for everyone in town!😊
Can’t wait for our 2019 cruise with Capt Ryan. There is no better way to enjoy the beautiful waters and wildlife of Hilton Head Island.
Ryan Maley and Blue Pearl Marine Tours offer the best dolphin tours, sunset cruises and so much more on Hilton Head Island. We had the pleasure to book Ryan and his boat for different occassions and each one was better than the other. With his knowledge he showed us places and brought us to places other tours dont‘ go and know about and every single tour became an experience of a lifetime. Whatever we wanted to do he hit the goal every time and created for us amazing, everlasting memories. Ryan is a true captain and made sure we had everything we need and provided outstanding service. Ryan and Blue Pearl Marine Tours deserve 5 stars and nobody who visits Hilton Head should leave without booking a tour with him. We can’t wait to be back and do it all again. Thank you Captain Ryan!
Highly recommended! My husband and I went for sunset dolphin cruise and we had an absolute blast!
Great afternoon activity for a taste of the ocean around HHI. Just tell Capt. Ryan what you have in mind and he will proceed to fulfill your request. Hes knowledgable about the waters surrounding HH and very courteous and outgoing.
A quiet and beautiful place
