About Your Trip

Spend a laid-back day on the water exploring the scenic coastlines and hidden gems around North Myrtle Beach. These private sandbar and island-hopping trips are designed for groups looking to relax, swim, and enjoy a customizable day on the water with family and friends.

Trips range from 4 to 8 hours and typically include a run up to Bird Island, a quiet, boat-only beach just across the North Carolina line. With calm waters and plenty of space to spread out, it’s the perfect setting to swim, float, explore the shoreline, or simply kick back and enjoy the view.

The Experience

This is a flexible, do-it-your-way kind of trip. Whether you’re looking for a sandbar hang, a casual cruise, or a fun group outing, the day is built around your pace. Water floats are available for relaxing in the shallows, and there’s plenty of time to hop on and off the boat as you explore.

It’s also common to mix in a little bit of everything—cruising the intracoastal, stopping at sandbars, and taking in the natural beauty of the area along the way.

The Boat & Setup

You’ll be cruising aboard a spacious, modern pontoon built for comfort and fun. With wraparound seating, an onboard grill, and a premium sound system, it’s an ideal setup for groups of up to 10 guests.

The boat is fully equipped with GPS, sonar, VHF radio, and all required safety gear, so you can relax and enjoy the ride. Fuel is included, and everything is set up to make your day smooth and stress-free.

Good to Know

This is a private charter priced per boat, not per person. Alcohol, coolers, pets, and even glass bottles are allowed, making it easy to bring whatever you need for the day. Swimming is encouraged, and all ages are welcome.

Whether you’re celebrating, relaxing, or just looking to get out on the water, this trip is a fun and easy way to experience North Myrtle Beach from a different perspective.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
