Myrtle Beach Dolphin Cruises
A family-friendly ocean adventure. Wild dolphins in their element.
Spend More Time on the Ocean and See Dolphins the Way They're Meant to be Seen
Forget the aquarium. This is wild dolphins in open water.
We're the original Myrtle Beach dolphin cruise company, operating out of the closest port to the Atlantic Ocean. That means more time on the water searching for dolphins, and less time stuck idling out to open water.
Your family boards in the quaint fishing villages of Calabash & Little River, then cruises through the waterway and out into the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way, you'll see the coastline in full view as you search for dolphins running wild.
Everyone on this trip takes home a free shark tooth!
We've been running these waters for decades, and our captains know where dolphins feed, play, and travel. While we can't guarantee wildlife (because that's not how nature works), we position the boat to give you the best shot at seeing them.
What makes our dolphin cruises special:
This is the kind of trip that makes people put their phones down and just watch.
The Boat: Hurricane II and Atlantic Star
Our dolphin cruises run on our two 85-foot vessels, the Hurricane II or the Atlantic Star.
Amenities:
- 360-degree views from the open top deck
- Air-conditioned main galley
- Full snack bar with hot food (hamburgers, hot dogs)
- Drinks available (soda, water)
- Onboard bathrooms
- Open seating with room to walk around and explore
- Marine navigation & safety equipment
Plenty of space to move around, chase dolphins from rail to rail, and let kids explore without feeling crowded. Inside when you need AC, outside when you want the breeze, top deck when you want the best views.
Sunset Dolphin Cruises
The same offshore dolphin cruise, timed for golden hour.
There’s a reason sunset trips fill up first.
The light drops low over the water, the heat backs off, and everything out on the ocean feels different in the best way. Dolphins are still active, the views stretch for miles, and the timing just hits right at the end of the day.
It’s an easy choice if you want something that feels a little more memorable than a midday run.
Who Is the Dolphin Cruise Perfect For?
Families with kids
Dolphins are magic for kids. Seeing them in the wild beats any video, any book, any screen. This is a memory they'll carry.
Anyone who wants to be on the water without fishing
Not everyone wants to bait a hook. Some people just want to cruise, see wildlife, and enjoy the ocean. This is that trip.
First-time visitors
You've done the beach. You've done the boardwalk. This is the side of the coast most tourists miss—and it's the best part.
Couples or groups looking for a relaxed ocean experience
No pressure. No schedule. Just a smooth ride, good views, and the chance to see dolphins do their thing.
