Captain Doug is the absolute best! He is very knowledgeable about the area. He really listened to what we were hoping to do and far exceeded our expectations! We went to bird island to do a little swimming and exploring, then out to the ocean to look for dolphins and had the most relaxing cruise through the waterway! The boat was very nice, clean and comfortable. We will be back again next year. My son declared this “The Best day ever”! Thank you Captain Doug!
Thats AWESOME to hear- just made my day knowing little man had the best day ever!! thanks so much Melissa and look forward to doing it again
Capt. Doug was a blast. He took my family on a 4 hour cruise with my mother, sister, and niece for a birthday celebration and we swam at Bird Island. Doug was friendly, easygoing, and very good with my niece and her grandma. Would definitely recommend!
THANKS Carolyn, it was a great Birthday party cruise for Cookie!!!
Captain Doug took us to a private island where we got to swim around. He was helpful and knowledgeable. He also gave us space to explore and swim. It was so much fun! Definitely book with captain Doug!
Thanks Shelby- it was so much fun. I cant wait to do it again.
We recently moved to Myrtle beach. We wanted to take a special trip to understand how about his size would navigate on the intracoastal waterway. Doug couldn’t have been nicer and more educational on our first journey on the ICW. He showed us how to get from his area to where we have a slip in Grande Dunes. Pointing out Ricky areas, slow wake zones, etc. And then also showed us how to navigate all the way to Little River where you could park your boat and hang out. Along the way he pointed out great restaurants and so forth. He’s just a great guy and I would highly recommend taking a charter with Captain Doug. He’s the best.
We loved our day with Captain Doug. He gave us a tour of the area and then brought us to a great spot to swim. After that, we were surrounded by a group of dolphin that played in the area for at least 20 minutes. What an awesome experience. I highly recommend you book with Captain Doug
Great time on the boat with you and your family… thanks for the nice remarks!!
