Lighthouse Creek Charters specializes in creating customized private charters around the beautiful Folly and Morris Islands. We offer a variety of exciting trips, including dolphin watching, shell collecting, fossil hunting, sunset cruises, and much more!

Our vessel is a meticulously restored 1973 Boston Whaler Nauset Center console, which was revitalized in 2020 and is based out of Folly Beach, SC. It comfortably accommodates up to six passengers and is equipped with all the necessary USCG safety gear, including life jackets, a fire extinguisher, VHF radio, GPS, and a depth finder. The boat is powered by a robust 90 HP Yamaha outboard engine, allowing for a maximum cruising speed of 26 knots.

For your comfort, the boat features a bimini top for sunny days, a cooler stocked with ice and bottled water, and a Bluetooth-capable stereo for your enjoyment.
