Captain Mark was nice and had a lot of historical information about the island and his little personal touches were nice to hear as well. We didn’t get to see too many dolphins but the few we did see he was able to stop the boat to see if they would resurface at all. The boat was very clean and nice to be on. Only drawback was the difficulty to finding the boat since that information wasn’t anywhere to be found when purchasing - but we were able to call and get the information!

We had a great time on the Crabber J!! Captain Marks daughter is now the captain during the summer months on Hilton Head Island. She is AMAZING!!My parents took their grandkids on this excursion several times over the years. Now I am enjoying taking my grandson!!

Awesome sunset dolphin cruise! Boat was large and comfortable. Captain Mark was great telling stories about the history of the island and all of the sites we rode by! We saw several dolphins and the sunset was amazing! Highly recommend!

Its was pretty cool to be on a big boat but it was kinda boring and cold we seen a few dolphins and a bunch of boats it also had a snack bar downstairs I dont know if it was worth almost 80 bucks..

We chartered a sunset Dolphin cruise for my daughters wedding party rehearsal dinner pre game. Captain Mark was so accommodating. professional and informative on the cruise. We saw several dolphins and viewed a perfect sunset before he delivered us to our dinner destination. The boat was clean and the crew very hospitable. Thanks Captain Mark and the Holiday for a very memorable evening.

The cruise with Captain Mark was great and informative, plus Im sure we had the best weather ever! Perfect for boating...

We took our teen and tween boys on Captain Marks Dolphin Watch Sunset cruise last weekend. A good time was had by all. We enjoyed seeing several dolphins up close. The boys really only used their phones to take videos of the dolphins and selfies in front of the sunset. Parenting WIN!Captain Mark greeted us warmly and shared interesting information during his talk. The boat was sparkling clean with plenty of space between us and other passengers. We felt safe at all times on the trip. Overall a lovely evening on the water and family time we all will cherish. Well, my husband and I will. Who knows with kids these days?

Went on the sunset cruise. I wasn’t expecting much, but the views were way better than anticipated! Captain Mark was a little “punny” for my taste but interesting and informative. He actually spent a significant amount of time circling areas where there were dolphins sighted so everyone could get a good look. The vessel was exceptionally clean and well-kept, even the restroom. Very positive experience and reasonable price. Only drawback might be the wayfinding to dock C .... took some looking as there is not much signage if you don’t know the marina.

Really fun, casual activity with a great captain and crew! Will definitely do it again! Saw multiple pairs of dolphins 😃

My husband and I joined captain Marks cruise on 10/12/2019.We made 280 miles from another state to find out that almost no one allows pets on board, and we were extremely happy to find this tour, especially for such a low price.The boat was clean, we had plenty of space to choose and captains stories about the surrounding area were really interesting. We bought some drinks quite cheaply, and they gave a glass of ice to our pup for free.This trip gave us a chance to have some rest, enjoy the views and have fun watching dolphins and we are grateful for it. It took almost two hours instead of 1,5.Unfortunately, we whipped away from the boat without tipping since we did not want our pup to make any mess on the board but I genuinely hope that my feedback could help other tourists to make a choice and appreciate the cruise as well.We wish captain Mark and his crew flourishing and good luck!

Excellent Capt Mark is a great guide. Thanks Cap

Excellent sunset cruise - great Captain, affordable, welcoming crew! Top notch!

No show boat was locked up funds were refunded.

Such a great experience!!! Our sunset cruise was amazing! We saw several dolphins and learned a lot about the history of Hilton Head. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

This was an amazing adventure :) Captain Mark provided really a lot of good information about the island and surrounding areas. We spend a good amount of time on the water and got to see quite a few dolphins. We had a, very good experience and definitely will do it again.

Absolutely a MUST to go on if you visit Hilton Head. Captain Mark is full if interesting historical facts about Hilton Head which he talks about on the boat tour

The cruise overall was a nice two hours. The owner shares his knowledge of the area throughout the cruise. Dolphins were easy to see. The boat is nice and provides a nice atmosphere. Whether you sit on top or along the sides you will have a great view of the ocean at sunset, and then top off the cruise with nightime fireworks over the water.

A very good time. Captain Mark is very knowledgeable about dolphins. We saw lots of dolphins and got a history lesson about the Island and other sights. Everyone should do it once. Or more. When you get off, there are numerous good restaurants within walking distance.

This cruise was a huge disappointment. I understand they cant control if the dolphins come out or not. But, its hard not to feel duped when youve invested your time and money, just to sit on a hot boat for an hour and 45 min. If you want to see dolphins up close, my advice is to take a tour on one of the smaller boats. We noticed the dolphins gravitated towards them more. Captain Marks boat is huge, the noise of it probably kept the dolphins away.

My husband and I went on the 3oclock Dolphin watch Cruise, the experience was very nice! Captain Mark and his team were very friendly and helpful.... great job! Captain Mark make the tour very interesting and educational. He is very knowledgeable of the area. Beautiful and we even saw dolphins !! We would highly recommend this for all ages !!

A nice large boat with lots of cover for those hot days! Saw a few dolphin on our trip. Capt. Mark is a local and knows his way around. Crew members are courteous and helpful. Bathrooms on board. Water and snacks available for purchase

Super fun experience.

You will enjoy the cruise. Captain Mark makes it very interesting with his knowledge of the area. Seating on the boat is plentiful and you can move to different areas. Great experience.

Captain Mark tells entertaining and educational stories about local history, geography, birds, and dolphins along the route. The open air seating on the boat is ample. The price is very affordable for a family of four. The online tickets and automated reminders and instructions were perfect. Easy to locate, prompt, safe and professional. Ignore the few complaints and negative reviews. Understand that Captain Mark cannot control the weather or dolphin participation. We saw 3 or 4 dolphins for a couple brief moments. The cruise, scenery, and breeze in our hair was more than worth it even if we had not seen a single dolphin.

This was a pleasant ride; saw many dolphins and a pretty pink sunset. Bring earplugs as the loudspeaker is extremely loud. Dont forget sunglasses or binoculars like I did. Removing a star because although I know Captain Mark didnt mean anything by it, making a prolonged joke about how men usually abandon their female partners and children is no longer acceptable or funny in todays world.

Me and my family (husband and twin teens) really enjoyed Captain Marks informative, relaxing and affordable dolphin cruise. He was full of historical facts and his assistant Andrew was very sweet and helpful. We got some awesome dolphin footage and a nice, relaxing trip.😀

Great crew and commentarySo much fun

Nice family business, the Captain entertainment is good to hear not boring at all. Nature, dolphins and a great price.

Great cruise, great captain.

Great trip and expert narration. A little wind and waves that day but smooth cruising throughout. Thank you.

This is actually a nice two hours on the water. The captain was very informative and we saw lots of dolphins. Worth the money.

We did this trip in October, so the wildlife might be more active during other times of the year.Captain Mark is very kind, knowledgeable, and entertaining, but I was expecting to see more dolphins. We saw a few right at the beginning, which was amazing. After that we didn’t see anything. I understand it’s not guaranteed but it can get pretty boring without seeing anything for the majority of the trip.Captain Mark shared a ton of information and had really interesting things to say about the surrounding houses and area as we drove by. So while it was cool to hear about, it want what we had purchased tickets for.Also, while they do serve soft drinks and snacks, they do not serve beer or wine. While this isn’t a must have, it would have helped the experience.

Amazing trip! Captain Mark was very knowledgeable and considerate. We were able to see dolphins and all. Definitely recommend.

My husband, myself, and three girls (7, 10, and 13) took a sunset cruise last week. I searched the websites for price comparison, and this was the best deal for a sunset cruise, which I highly recommend. It wasn’t too hot, and the breeze was so nice and relaxing. The captain gave the passengers some interesting information but also allowed for some quiet relaxation time. The kids expected to see dolphins, and we did! We were very close to them. It was the highlight of our week at the beach. Highly recommend!!!! One piece of advice, make sure to arrive in plenty of time because the parking can be an issue. You have to walk a little way to the dock. We thought if we arrived within 15 minutes, we would be okay. Not true. We were running to catch the boat, which was totally our fault.

This was the first tour that my husband and I experienced. We loved it and we loved Captain Marks humor during the tour. He was very informative. We saw glimpses of a couple dolphins and we got to see the most beautiful sunset. Very breathtaking!!! Fantastic experience for us to share together on our first wedding anniversary!! Thanks Captain Mark!!

Loved the old sea dogs trip lol gave some history and personal history good ride

Saw dolphins and beautiful sunset. Captain Mark was entertaining. Comfortable cruise.

The boat was clean, they had 2 restrooms on board, snacks, and we saw dolphins and got local information about the island. All in all a good trip we all enjoyed

Nice big boat. Great commentary from captain.

Ship broke down before and it was canceled

It was soooo nice ! Captain mark was very informative and the boat is huge ! The dolphins are beautiful!

We did the sunset dolphin cruise and it was amazing! We saw tons of dolphins including mommas and their babies! Captain Mark is very knowledgeable and knows the area and history very well. The tour couldn’t have been better. It was very easy to locate as he has signs at the entrance to the dock so you know where to go. I would highly recommend them for people looking for a dolphin tour.

We were very pleased with Captain Marks dolphin cruise and look forward to seeing them again.

Fun tour. Saw plenty of dolphins. The captain was great and very professional. He had lots of info about the area and the dolphins & general trivia along the way. Has a small snack bar on board chips, candy, pops & water.No alcohol sold on board, bit didnt mind if you took a couple drinks on board with you.Just do it!

Entertaining for the whole family. Even got to see a few dolphins!

Informative and relaxing.

I just wanted to thank Captain Mark for his personal narrated tour. You can go anyplace on the boat at any time. Plenty of seats. It was a quiet, fun adventure.

When you arrive at Shelter Cove you can park in the General Parking lot. Dock C for the boat is a short walk to the left of the Neptune statue.Wonderful trip. On the way out, Captain Mark tells you a bit about himself and the history of Hilton Head.We saw 3-4 dolphins. Captain Mark also talks about dolphins and their behaviors.Snack bar on board with water and soft drinks. Don’t forget to buy a t-shirt.We had a great time.

Had a fantastic time! The dolphins were pretty shy during our tour but Captain Mark was a great host. His commentary is both entertaining and educational. Highly recommend this dolphin cruise.

This is a great time. Capt. Mark and his crew are a lot of fun. Very easy to find. Saw a lot of Dolphins and enjoyed the boat ride around the Island. Would highly recommend. Do the Craber J charter also. Run by Capt. Marks daughter. It is also a great time and lots of fun.

Great tour to take the family on to see dolphins! Its about 11/2 -2 hours and a bigger boat that has 2 levels you can walk around. They have snacks on board to buy as well. Had a good time and got some nice pictures.

Wonderful host. Cool information. Saw lots of dolphins and such a reasonable price too! Mark has been doing boat tours for over thirty years and it definitely shows in his captaining and in all of the cool facts he shared with us during our trip. Would highly recommend.

So glad we picked this cruise! You should pick it too! Great guy, great boat. Reasonably priced snacks, bathrooms and lots of room. Saw tons of dolphins, learned lots about Hilton Head. We were a group ranging from 1-66 years old. Definitely recommend Captain Mark!

Went on the dolphin/sunset cruise with my hubby on our 1 year wedding anniversary to Hilton Head . It was very nice and relaxing. Loved the captains narrative. It was funny and entertaining and Bruce was very lively. Fun time and will def be back again. If visiting Hilton Head put this on your to do list.

My first experience with capt mark was when I was in grade school, now my children are lucky enough to enjoy his dolphin cruises. If you want to experience the adventures of the waters that surround Hilton head island, why not cruise around with someone who is a staple to its growth and its surrounding for almost 40years?!! Thanks for all the memories from way back then and now!!

Great cruise, captain Mark was knowledgeable and entertaining, saw a bunch of dolphins too!!!

Captain Mark dolphin cruise was wonderful. Boat was clean and had enough room for everyone.He was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the area and the Island and all the things that were of interest. Had a few corny jokes but I enjoyed those. He had a snack bar but didnt use it so cant tell you about that.We saw dolphins so bonus. Would reccomend highly.

We loved our crabbing trip! The crew was engaging, knowledgeable, friendly, and great with the kids! We learned a lot about the history of the area and the wildlife. The cover over the boat was great to keep us from burning!

Really enjoyed ourselves. Informative and witty commentary. Would recommend to anyone looking for something fun to do with the wife and kids.

It was alright. Different than a dolphin cruise i had been on before in Gulf Shores. We just seen a couple dolphins just tip the surface. In gulf shores they got 2 boats and made a wake in between which made the dolphins come up and jump in the wake. Mark does a good job on the teaching of history throughout Hilton Head and about the wildlife there that is pretty cool.

Had a really great time onboard with Captain Mark! Very charismatic, knowledgeable and experienced. Very much enjoyed the ride for a very reasonable price and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing evening ride.

What a great time we had on the Holiday with Captain Mark! Captain Mark was personable and puny.We saw several dolphins, jelly fish, birds, including an Osprey! We also saw beautiful homes, and lots of people enjoying the water ... parasailing, paddle boating, kayaking, jet skiing etc. the trip was interesting and a good bargain.We loved how clean and safe the ride was. Its a nice riding large double decker boat with lots of seating, We will definitely be doing this again next time we are in Hilton Head!

Saw lots of dolphins and learned things I didnt know about them. The tour of the estuaries was interesting and hes a good boat captain. Really enjoyed this tour! Thanks Captain Mark!

Our entire family did this cruise today. Thouroughiy enjoyed it! Captain Mark is the best!! The cruise was wonderful and Captain Mark was entertaining as well as informative! We saw several dolphins along the way. Would highly recommend this for all ages.

Our family had the BEST time on a sunset cruise with Captain Mark! It was great to hear the history of the Island, have him note points of interest, and call out to us when there were dolphins (and a baby!) within sight of the boat. Reasonably priced and a relaxing, beautiful way to end the day on HHI.

Excellent dolphin cruise on Hilton Head Island! Captain Mark is very personable, funny and provided an informative experience. I truly enjoyed his personal story which demonstrated his passion for his work. The Chucks Garage crew loved the personal touch!

Captain Mark was a good host. The views in this Harbor are great. Brought my wife for her 50th birthday, along with our children. We all enjoyed the cruise very much. I would recommend it for anyone. AJ

Informative tour. Great scenery (sunset cruise) we go every year even though Capt. MARK said Flipper didnt talk

Cruise was relaxing and informative. I was allowed to bring my small pet and two children aboard with me.

We went on one of the seasonal firework cruises. It was an amazing time. The boat is clean, and well kept. They sent out reminder texts to arrive early since parking and logistics could be difficult. Captian Mark gives a good description of the island and local points of interest. We were sitting in a perfect spot for the fireworks, which were so fun to see over the water. So highly reccomend Captian Mark.

It was amazing :) Captain Mark provided really good information about the island and surrounding areas. We spend a good amount of time on the water and got chance to see quite a few dolphins. Overall, very good experience

Had a great time on this tour. Boat was clean, ample room and facilities if you need them. We were able to see plenty of dolphins and learned a bit about Hilton Head Island! Check them out!

Wonderful trip. Capt Mark was very interesting to listen to and did a great job. It was awesome to see dolphins and learn about them.

We took the Sport Crabbing Adventure on the Crabber J and had a fantastic time! Highly recommend!

Im sure it would have been great..but was cancelled and wasnt notified until we got to the boat for our tour. 🙁🙁🙁

Very nice sunset cruise to watch Dolphins 🐬. Captain Mark’s commentary of personal stories and facts and information of the island and waters and marine life and even a few jokes was very entertaining. This is a must do for your stay at Hilton Head Islamd.

This was the best experience we have had on a dolphine tour! The boat captain was so awesome he is great & knows the area really well. We saw multiple sets of dolphins, it was amazing! Our three kids had a blast! We bought super sweet t-shirts on the cruise and the kids keep asking if they are clean yet.. lol .. It was so awesome. It is a must when visiting Hilton Head:)

Information about the island, a beautiful sunset, and a couple of dolphins.

Nice sunset ride. Didnt go out very far and didnt see but a couple dolphins on out trip. Dont go hungry, only canned soda and snack bags for sale.

We saw lots of Dolphins. We have two small children - 2.5 years and 1 year - and this boat is the perfect size for them to move around. We saw some smaller pontoon boats, which would have made the cruise more challenging.

Boat ride was 24 dollars at night 20 dollars at 11am and 2 pm.i and my wife enjoy the boat it was fun.Captain very nice and informative of the area.Many boats to choose from but this is the biggest and you want get river sick.he has a bathroom being a diabetic that was important,also a snack bar.he leaves out on time so better get there early....

It was a relaxing cruise, and the captain was really nice. I was expecting to see more dolphins though. We were only able to see two or three...

We went on the sunset, dolphin, fireworks cruise and it was the highlight of our vacation so far. Perfect night and so much fun! Highly recommend!!

Awesome experience. Highly recommend the crabbing and fireworks cruise!

Great experience. Captain mark is very knowledgeable. Highly recommend

Nice big boat. Saw many dolphins. Reasonably priced.

Wonderful cruise and we loved seeing the dolphins!

It was a very excellent tour! Definitely worth the money!

Dolphin tour was awesome. Saw them few minutes in. Also got some cool fact about hilton head island. Small snack bar on board to a little pricey but ok. Upper deck full sunlight bottom decks has shade. Dont take babies its to hot.

Love Capt. Mark. Saw plenty of dolphins. Learned plenty.

Beautiful sunset cruise! Well worth the money!

Very informative . Captain Mark is passionate about his career

Horrible boat captain with no respect for the ecology as the Holiday speed thru Broad Creek while I was on a kayaking trip. Apparently he often exceeds the speed in a no wake some.

Great price for a nice outing and the chance to see some dolphins. Boat was big and very clean.

I have taken this tour twice now. Once during the day and one at sunset. Compared to the other prices for similar tours this cant be beat!

Good time with family on this ride. Saw multiple dolphins

First dolphin cruise on Hilton Head this past Tuesday . We loved traveling on the Holiday with Capt. Mark.No reservations needed. I had called beforehand, with a couple questions and had zero issue. Courteous and all questions answered. We pulled up about 25 mins before 11, free parking. Short walk to the dock. Paid when boarding. They accept card/cash. VERY reasonable pricing!! $20 per person for almost two hours? Yes, please!The boat is large. Two levels. VERY clean. Spacious. Has a snack bar and restroom is on board also.Capt Mark was a wonderful host. He narrated most of the ride. Historical and general points of interest, great sense of humor, down to earth. Laid back. When we saw dolphins, he made sure to slow/turn so everyone had a chance to see.Nothing felt rushed. It wasnt crowded. The weather was fantastic. We saw a number of dolphins, birds, and even saw a manatee before we left the dock. Also got a kick out of seeing other people parasailing, jetskiing, and boating.We loved it and *Will absolutely * return and recommend them to others.I dont understand how anyone could possibly complain about not seeing dolphins in other reviews. They are wild animals, they come and go as they please. Nothing is guaranteed. Its not Sea World. They arent going to do backflips for your amusement. Come on now! Use some common sense.Even if we hadnt seen any dolphins i still would give five stars bc of how great the ride was. Relaxing and fun. Great way to see different parts of Hilton Head.Thank you so much for a fantastic time! We will see you again soon.

Best dolphin tour on the island. Captain Mark is awesome!

Very knowledgeable and good tour no rush very friendly.

Great tour. Very recommended.
