5 Stars – Best Private Boat Tour Experience with Neil! If you’re looking for an unforgettable boat tour in Hilton Head, Neil at Hilton Head Boat Tours is the way to go. We have done probably 10+ either boat charters or boat rentals over the last 13 years and this was easily one of the best charter experiences we’ve ever had, and the fact that we got to have the entire boat to just our group made it that much better. Finding a private and intimate setting for a dolphin cruise or sunset tour at this price point is nearly impossible, but Neil delivered—and it was worth every penny.
From the moment we stepped on board, it felt like we were just hanging out with a buddy from back home. Neil is laid-back, down-to-earth, and made sure we had the best time possible. He let us completely control the music, so we got to DJ the entire trip, and he encouraged us to bring our own drinks and food, which made it even more fun and personal.
Beyond just a good time, Neil also shared fascinating history and insights about the area, wildlife, and landmarks, keeping everything interesting without feeling like a lecture. The boat itself was spacious, comfortable, and well-kept, giving us plenty of room to move around and enjoy the ride. And to top it all off, we saw dolphins up close, which made the whole experience even more magical.
If you’re looking for a private, laid-back, and truly special boat tour just for your group, this is the one to book. Neil made the experience incredible, and at this price point, you won’t find anything better.
Neil, we won’t forget you—especially if we make it back to Hilton Head! The conversation and company were just as great as the trip itself. Hope you don’t...

Read moreWe had booked a tour of Daufuskie Island through Tour Daufuskie and they used Hilton Head Boat Charters for the transportation to and from the island. The departure location was easy to find and we had no issues with parking. Captain Neil delayed departure for a few minutes waiting for some stragglers who had phoned in with a delay. We had a good safety equipment talk then started the 45 minute trip. He was happy to answer questions along the way and occasionally pointed this out. There were 12 of us on the pontoon boat with room for a few additional people. When we arrived he escorted our party to the Tour Daufuskie people. For leaving the island, he was waiting for us when we arrived at the docks, and we left promptly. Once again he answered lots of questions on the return trip. We discovered that my wife had left her card case at the Iron Fish store on the island. Captain Neil coordinated with the store owner to get the card case and return it to us. He really went beyond what he needed to do. We would happily...
