Dolphin Adventure Cruise in Myrtle Beach
We depart from North Myrtle Beach, SC located on the Intercoastal Waterway. Join us on a cruise down the Waterway passing through the Historic Little River Swing Bridge. During the cruise, we see all types of Marine Bird life including Seagulls, Pelicans, Osprey’s and Bald Eagles. It’s a beautiful scenic cruise down the Waterway towards Little River Inlet, the entrance to the Atlantic Ocean. We always keep a lookout for the Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin as we cruise along. When we reach the ocean side, we will locate the Dolphins behind the Shrimp Boats dragging their nets for some great photos. Weather permitting, we will pull a small net behind our vessel hauling Marine Life such as shrimp, crabs, fish, sea urchins, seahorses, sand dollars, seashells, sting rays, and baby sharks. Often times, the Shrimp Boats hand us a bag of Marine Life when they haul back their nets for our crew to show everyone on board.
This 2½ Hour Sunset Dolphin Sightseeing Cruise is an exciting marine adventure for all! This is the trip where you can also enjoy the beautiful Carolina sky as the sun is setting during your cruise. We travel up the intercoastal waterway and out to the inlet area. The dolphins we come across are wild animals in their natural habitat, and as a result, are not caged.
This is a spectacular cruise and boat ride on a very large comfortable vessel with 2 decks, 2 bathrooms, and a large indoor snack bar* area with restaurant style booth seating. The boat will cruise at a comfortable speed and is not considered a rough ride. The Captains know where to go look for the dolphins and will put every effort into finding them. This is an inexpensive entertaining attraction which is good for any age and a great experience for the whole family to enjoy.
You can purchase food and beverages at the snack bar or you are welcome to bring a small personal sized cooler with your own food and beverages.

Yes, you can, but there is no reduced price ticket for those that just want to ride along. If you don’t want to fish, you’ll still need to purchase a full-priced ticket. We do not keep track of who is fishing. There are fishing poles set up all around the boat for everyone to enjoy.

We recommend that children be at least 3 years of age, however, please keep in mind that this trip is 5 hours long and parents know their children best and should determine whether it is appropriate for their child.

Oh sure, nothing like a new experience! Our crew will help you and answer any questions you have. You will need to let them know that you have never fished before and that you would like some help. Often times, some of the “seasoned” veterans are even willing to offer advice as well.

You can keep as many fish as are allowed by the state regulations and limits. Your captain and crew are up to date on the most recent limit details, and will be able to tell you what is legal and what is not. Regulations vary depending on the season and what we are fishing for on a particular day.
-
It all depends on what type of fish are in season. Our typical catches include black sea bass, grunts, flounder, rudderfish, small jacks and sharks, but when other fish are in season we will fish for them too.
-
We typically use squid, sardines, and mackerel. On other occasions we’ll use what’s available and working best for catching fish.

We typically fish anywhere from 6-12 miles offshore depending on where the fish are. Usually, we are fishing within 45-60 minutes of leaving the dock. We’ll spend the rest of the time fishing until it’s time to head back.
-
Since there are multiple species of fish to catch at all times, if we catch our limit of one species, we continue fishing for others.
-
No, it is illegal to sell the fish you catch without proper licensing. If you decide not to keep any of the fish you catch, you can either release them or give them to a crew member.

We can guarantee fishing but unfortunately, not catching. The captain will do everything in his power to put you where the fish are, but we cannot control what does or does not bite the hook.
