  • Our family went on a dolphin cruise with Captain Rob. Very knowledgeable about the local wildlife and fauna in Beaufort. He made sure that we would be able to see the dolphins swimming in the area. It was a fantastic experience for us. Would definitely recommend this company and Captain Rob as your guide.

  • Captain John was both incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. We greatly enjoyed learning the history of the area and seeing several dolphins as well as learning about them and their behaviors. We also saw and learned about 20 different bird species. The trip was everything we expected and MORE.
