Top 4 Reasons to Rent a Boat on Hilton Head Island
Exploring Hilton Head Island by boat is more than just a vacation activity – it’s a way of life here in the Lowcountry! If you aren’t in the market to own a boat, or if you’re just visiting, renting a boat is a great way to enjoy the scenery without the hassle.
Here are our top five reasons why you should rent a boat on Hilton Head:
1. Sunset Cruises on Hilton Head are THE BEST!
There’s nothing quite like seeing the sunset over Hilton Head from the water. Cruising through Broad Creek or around Calibogue Sound gives you a front-row seat to the Lowcountry’s most stunning sights like bright green marshlands and golden coastlines. If you plan to rent a boat on Hilton Head, we humbly recommend coordinating the return time with the sunset, so you can really make it a proper sunset cruise!
2. Dolphin Tours on Hilton Head Island
Come meet the cutest, friendliest residents of Hilton Head: the dolphins! Our waters are truly alive – did you know they call the Lowcountry region “the ocean’s nursery?” That’s because most species up and down the eastern seaboard come here to safely have and raise their young. The sheer number of dolphins never ceases to amaze us.
If you rent a boat on Hilton Head, you have a really great chance to see dolphins swimming nearby – you can even ask us about a dolphin tour and we’ll program specific locations into the GPS! It’s a hands-on, eyes-wide-open kind of adventure that nature lovers of all ages will never forget.
3. Waterfront Restaurants on Hilton Head Island
When you rent a boat, you can arrive at waterfront restaurants via their dock (skip the parking lot – this is way more fun). Many vacationers never get out on the water, and they miss out on all the amazing local eateries that aren’t immediately accessible by car. Don’t get us wrong, there are lots of incredible places to eat near the popular tourist beaches, but if you haven’t taken a boat ride to Hudson’s, Skull Creek, or FishCamp, your trip is incomplete!
4. Skip the Ferry and Set Your Own Schedule
One of the best things about renting a boat on Hilton Head is the freedom to make the day your own. Don’t worry about ferry times, sleep in if you choose, there’s no rush on island time!
