We had a wonderful time. We would highly recommend Island Hopper Charter. Randy is so informative and a real friendly guy.

Captain Randy was an amazing guide! His knowledge of the area with its wildlife and rich history was a joy to listen to as we passed through the marsh on our way to Morris Island. Randy was hilarious and made my new finance feel extremely comfortable. Not sure if we were just lucky but we were able to spot and... More

My wife and I signed up for the trip to see Morris Island lighthouse. The captain dropped us off on an island about 300 meters from the lighthouse. We had the entire island to ourselves. It was a great place to collect sand dollars and other seashells. The captain is very relaxed, friendly and loves his hometown.

Our third time with Cap'n Randy. He's a cool dude, and he knows his stuff. Always entertaining, and very safe. The 2-hr morning trip to Morris Island is worth the $ (and the lost sleep)! Lots of dolphins and birds to see, and great shelling (sand dollar galore) on the island. We'll see you next time, Cap'n Randy!

Our party of six had the island to ourselves. His tour of Folly River and the salt marshes on the way out and back was great - pods of dolphins feeding on fish, spoonbill wood storks, oyster catchers, egrets, all up close. Would recommend to anyone and will go again on our next trip to Folly Island.

Our little group of four felt like we were in another place and time. Cap'n Randy kind of a Southern Humphrey Bogart with his mini African Queen. Only Cap'n Randy had the charm. You felt safe and secure with this ol' sea salt, knowledgeable yet funny. We did not want this day to end. He had lots of stories about... More

My fiancee and I just got back from our trip to South Carolina. Despite the fact the weather wasn't optimal leading up to our excursion (it is the beginning of rainy season in SC), Captain Randy was super accommodating and communicative about the pending weather conditions. Despite the questionable forecast, we went ahead with the charter.. and I'm sure glad... More

Captain Randy was so nice! By the time our family decided to take a boat tour, it was Wednesday night. I called Captain Randy around 9 Thursday morning and he said that he could get us in at 10:30a.m. Although the tide was a little higher, our family had an awesome time. We really appreciate Capt Randy fitting us in... More

For the last last several years, Captain Randy Smith has taken my family on multiple boat charters around Folly Beach for our annual family beach week. He has become part of our family vacation and is like a part of the family Randy is a terrific guide and as a native of Folly Beach, he knows all there is to... More
