5 Stars – Amazing Private Charter Experience! - We had the most incredible day on our private charter boat! The boat comfortably accommodated our large family, and the captain was absolutely fantastic! He was not only knowledgeable but also funny and made sure we were all having the best time possible. We cruised along the coast, and to our delight, we spotted several dolphins playing in the water – it was such a magical experience, especially for the kids!
We also stopped at a great family-friendly lunch spot. The location was perfect, though lunch did take a little while to arrive, but the wait was worth it. It made for an unforgettable afternoon. If you're looking for a relaxing yet exciting day out on the water, this private charter is the way to go! Highly recommend!

Great night on the water! - We were here on a girls’ trip and wanted a private sunset cruise. This was awesome! Michael was an excellent captain - full of lots of local knowledge and our one request was to find dolphins and he found lots for us. We brought wine, beer and snacks on board and watched an amazing sunset. This was well worth the cost - we would highly recommend Island Head and this private cruise.

Great Home and Location - Great location and house for a golf trip with the fellas! There’s a breakfast spot and mini mart walking distance. The beach is close by and everything else is a short uber ride. Would recommend this location!

Unforgettable Sunset - We had a wonderful time on the sunset cruise. We were blessed with the most beautiful sunset and saw some dolphins. Captain Steve was so knowledgeable of the island and brought us to some great viewing points.

Do the sunset ride! You won’t regret it! - What a fun night! Steve our captain was great, the sunset was amazing and being out on the water with friends and family was priceless. Well worth the money to have a boat yourselves.

Great sunset tour with family - We had the most perfect evening for a sunset cruise. We arrived early and John took us right out. The water and views were amazing. John told us all about the area and answered all our questions. We saw dolphins playing around, cruised through some harbors and saw the most amazing sunset and evening sky. John was great! The boat was spacious and had plenty of room for us to move around, and it was super comfortable and clean!

Daufuskie Island was fun, but the Island Head boat was too small and did not feel safe - First, the boat ride was right on time (going and returning) and the pre-trip communication from Island Head was excellent. Also, our golf cart was satisfactory and we really enjoyed touring Daufuskie Island. We ate at Daufuskie Crab Co and the food was quite good, although many drinks on the menu were not available because we were not in season.
One issue...the boat we had was very small and totally open. We had 12 -15 people going both ways and that was capacity (I'm not a boater but doubt the boat was more than 30 foot). We expected more of a ferry, with inside seating as an option. The day we went was generally sunny but only 60 degrees (or less) and had about a 20 MPH steady wind. Coming back we were into the wind and the captain announced as we left the Daufuskie Island dock that he needed to go fast to stay on top of the waves. It was a little unnerving being on the open ocean in such a small boat with all that wind and waves. It was quite bumpy.
An announcement was made going over to Daufuskie Island regarding life jackets (they are stored under the sides of the boat in latched cabinets), but if we had a major problem it would have been difficult/impossible to reach the life jackets. In my opinion life jackets should have been required to be worn on the way back, since the captain obviously knew the conditions. The life jackets were not mentioned at all prior to leaving the dock for the return trip.
Battling a 40 MPH wind in an open boat (20 MPH wind speed plus assume the boat was going at least 20 MPH) on a 60 degree day was very cold with no place to go for protection.
In the end I feel like using such a small boat on the open ocean on such a windy day with choppy seas is a recipe for future disaster. A much bigger boat with the company's logo on it was in the Broad Creek marina. It looked like a ferry and had inside seating. That boat should have been used on such a rough day.
