It can not be the standard, but we weren't 5 minutes from the pier before we were seeing dolphins!
The boat was clean, the operators friendly, and they deck hands walked the ship regularly to make sure everyone was safe and comfortable. The snack bar also sold soft drinks, which was fantastic.
Really enjoyed the tour, the sights, and the explanation of the Dafuskie and HHI landmarks. Great trip, enjoyed by my whole family including my teenage sister in laws and my young kids.
Thanks again!
