Six ways to get out on the water — every one small, private and captained by a local.
Start the morning on the water with coffee in hand — a relaxed 10am cruise through the marsh and waterways as the island wakes up, with dolphins and wildlife along the way.
Book coffee tour
Our midday departure — the same dolphins, marshes and wildlife, timed perfectly for an after-lunch outing or a mid-trip adventure.
Book 2pm tour
Join our scheduled public sunset cruise — depart 90 minutes before sunset and watch the sound turn gold. Music aboard; bring your own drinks (adults only, Feb–Nov).
Book sunset cruise
Chase redfish, trout and bass in the creeks — or go after tarpon and shark. 45+ years of local knowledge included.
Book a charter
Cruise & sunbathe with the dolphins, run to Jekyll Island for lunch, or host a wedding, rehearsal dinner, reception or celebration on the water — we design the day and handle the details.
Plan a private tour or event
A dignified ash-scattering ceremony led by our USCG-licensed captain — an ordained pastor who can officiate. We log the GPS coordinates and email a release certificate the next day.
Plan a memorialAll trips leave from Morningstar Marinas on the St. Simons Causeway. We'll send exact directions and a dock number when you book.
Resident bottlenose dolphins live in these waters year-round, so sightings are very common. Our captains know their feeding spots — though as with all wildlife, nature makes the final call.
Yes — our cruises are BYOB. Bring your favorite drinks and snacks, and we'll bring the cooler ice. Please pack out what you pack in.
If weather makes the water unsafe, we'll reschedule or refund in full. For guest-side changes, just give us 24 hours' notice and we'll move your trip.
Absolutely. The marsh rivers are calm and protected, the boats are stable, and the pace is relaxed — these trips are a favorite for all ages.
Private trips run year-round; public dolphin tours February through Thanksgiving.
