We offer a variety of morning and evening cruises onboard "The Explorer"; a United States Coast Guard Certified & Inspected vessel that is 54' in length and is covered with a bathroom and snack bar. ***Daytime departures include our most popular Bird Watching & Eco Excursion. Discover Murrells Inlet and its beautiful saltwater marsh estuary as we navigate the tranquil waters observing native and migratory birds and underwater sea-life guided by a naturalist. While onboard, guests participate with a live demonstration that includes local crabs and pulling a sample dredge from the bottom of the creek bed directly into the touch tank for all to observe. The excursion also includes a shelling "walkabout" as the Captain will position the boat on a local beach so you can disembark onto the natural beach and dune area searching for local treasures and shells. ***For the late afternoon and evening; Sunset, Live Music or Karaoke Cruises for the entire family! Happy Hour or Full Moon cruises available for adults only. **Relax & enjoy a wonderful excursion through the salt water marsh estuary of Murrells Inlet as you view natural aquatic & wildlife, beautiful & historic home sites, and the pièce de ré·sis·tance of our local sunset.
