2-Hour Private Hilton Head Afternoon Dolphin Watching Sail
Overview
This 2 hour Private Afternoon Sailing tour will take us to Port Royal Sound (generally the best wind for sailing on Hilton Head) on the North side of the island. During the day, this is generally filled with exciting winds for great sailing along with the beautiful scenery and wildlife such as dolphins, birds, sting ray and Manatee are some of the great things we get to see on a very regular basis. This is a Monohull Sailboat which means it will heal over (completely normal but very exciting - designed not to tip over!). All this without the noise of the motor in the back ground - we like to sail not motor sail!!!
We want our guest to be very comfortable on board our vessel known as "Knot the Office" and therefore if anyone is uncomfortable with the healing we can significantly reduce the healing to ensure everyone is comfortable.
This is a fun and exciting activity but yet very relaxing and rewarding at the same time.

What To Expect
We are a TRUE sailing charter. We motor out to sailing grounds just a few minutes past our marina and put up the sails and shut the motor off. Enjoy the peace, quiet and excitement of true sailing. We allow our guests to be as involved with the sailing process as they want. If you would like to be involved you will be winching sail sheets, moving the sails from side to side when we change direction, handling lines, along with steering the boat and navigating. If you would like to have a relaxing ride, you are welcome to relax - do nothing - and we will take care of the rest.
Additional Info
- Confirmation will be received within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability
