    Captain Randy is amazing!! Not only is he an expert at maneuvering the lay of the land, but having lived in South Carolina for 57 years he can tell you all kinds of stories. His humor combined with knowledge of history makes for a lively boat ride. We spotted loads of dolphins and learned all about them, but not in a boring bland kind of way. He keeps you entertained the whole ride. We even stopped at Morris Beach, parked the boat and got to walk around and explore for 30 minutes. If you need recommendations for food or entertainment, he's got you covered there too. Can't recommend him enough!!

    My mother, daughter, and I took a dolphin tour with Capt. Randy and had a great experience! First of all, Capt. Randy is from Folly and knowledgeable of the history and is full stories of the area. We saw so many dolphin while on the tour. Capt. Randy was very kind and funny! I highly recommend Island Hopper!

    I would have given 6 stars if I could- Captain Randy is fantastic! What a great way to end our first day at Folly Beach. He is so informative and funny, learned a lot about the local waters. We lucked up and got so close to a school of dolphins and even watched them "strand feeding" at Morris Island. Excellent family activity enjoyed by our 10 year old up to our college senior

It was the highlight of our trip, and very reasonable prices. Capt Greg was extremely helpful with everything to do with our sailboating trip, in addition to everything to do with Charleston! He gave us so many tips and recommendations so that we could enjoy our trip and have the best experiences. He also provided waters, coolers, ice, a speaker, and had extra sunscreen if needed. Also took pics throughout the boat ride and shared that Google photos album with us the day after! Wouldn't book with any other charter when in Charleston!

Greg was extremely responsive, helpful and kind while booking and leading up to the trip. We could tell he was very passionate about sailing and sharing that with others which we all loved. While on the boat, Greg was friendly and super fun! You are able to sit in the back by Greg, up in the front or down below deck. There's a bathroom, seating and a refrigerator for drinks below deck which was an added bonus. The music Greg was playing was great, but you can also play your own music via Bluetooth. This feels like a make your own adventure sailing trip because you can choose the amount of hours you need, the vibe of your music, how rowdy or calm you want to be, etc. We had an amazing time and we would absolutely do this again when we are back in town. Thank you for everything, Captain Greg!

As the Maid of Honor, I was in charge of plans for the weekend and I wanted to start the trip with my own version of a bike tour around Folly. I called 2 days prior to our arrival because I didn't initially think we needed a formal reservation, but started to get nervous as we got closer to the trip. When I called, the guys told me it would be no problem and they would have 10 bikes ready for us at 11:00am that Friday. I wasn't sure what would happen when we arrived, so I held my breath and crossed my fingers all would work out. I was ecstatic when we arrived to see Will and Cameron already at the door waiting on us!! We were maybe 5 minutes or so after 11:00 (10 girls can be a lot to get out the door) but they both commented on us "being on time," so I felt much better. They got us setup and on our way very quickly. I even asked for some of their "expert opinions" on restaurant/bars we should stop throughout the day and they provided us with great recommendations. I think having the bikes on a Friday was perfect because we didn't run into too much traffic and it felt very safe everywhere we went. We were really sad to return the bikes at the end of the day. I thought we would only spend a few hours on them since Folly isn't that big, but we were having so much fun we stayed on them until the shop was closing. By the end of the weekend, I asked the girls what their favorite part of the trip was and the most common response was the bikes!! If I had to do it over, I would probably pay to rent bikes for the full weekend. It was the best way to get 10 girls around Folly Beach!

    I had family in town and wanted to take them to Morris Island. I contemplated a lot of companies,…read morebut am so glad I chose this one! Captain Gresh was very personable and incredibly knowledgeable-he's a 7th gen local, so he truly knows his stuff and has grown up on this water. Taking a private charter was a great experience. We ended up having the whole island to ourselves! Morris island itself is so wonderful, and we also saw dolphins, oyster beds, and blue crabs. Learning about the history of the island (as well as Gresh's connection to the island and family history) was really neat. We were worried about weather, but Gresh was very easy to stay in contact with throughout the morning before our tour.

We met Gresh, the operator, at a dock outside of Charleston and he took us by motorboat through estuaries that were lined with live oyster beds and teeming with wildlife like brown pelicans and other birds. We actually saw a pod of bottle nosed dolphins playing near the boat! Spectacular. Gresh anchored off of the beach, which was prominently featured in the movie "Glory" as the battle site at which over 1000 black Union troops perished (and are buried there!). My kids and I walked the entire beach without encountering another soul on a brilliantly sunny and beautiful afternoon. We found lots of pretty shells and sand dollars to take home. Gresh was great - his family has been there for generations, he clearly loves the area and cares deeply for its environmental integrity and is a terrific tour guide. Do not miss this experience - we will remember it for the rest of our lives. It went all too quickly!

He offered us things to do or see or he gave us an option to anchor and go ashore. I loved all my options and he honestly would have been happy with whatever we wanted to do.

After a bit of research, we ended up on Captain Jerry Slayton's boat for a two-hour sail. Captain Jerry (who is USCG licensed and ASA certified) provided a short safety orientation and invited us to roam the craft as we pleased. We had the absolutely best time! The Captain was not only a top-notch sailor, he was also a top-notch guy, personable and fun. His sailboat was beautiful, comfortable, and spotless. What a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours. It rained like crazy while we were out, which made for an even more exciting, interesting, and beautiful experience. The six of us highly recommend a sail with Captain Jerry. You will love it!
