Explore Hilton Head’s waterways on a private pontoon, with time to spot dolphins and cruise scenic routes with your group.

About this tour

Set out on Hilton Head’s waterways with a private pontoon rental and room to explore at your own pace. This 3-hour Hilton Head Pontoon Boat Rental begins with an orientation on navigating local waters and a safety briefing outside the yellow harbor master office.

After a short idle through scenic Skull Creek, keep watch for Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Then choose where the water takes you: cruise toward the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean, pass behind Daufuskie Island, explore the Cooper River, or head up the May River toward the sand bar and Palmetto Bluff. The boat accommodates up to 10 people, making it a relaxed outing to share with friends or family. You can also ask for recommendations on where to enjoy lunch on the water.

A captain must be at least 18, have a valid driver’s license, and bring prior boating experience. Book your Hilton Head Pontoon Boat Rental and make a day of discovering the island from the water.

How the score works and rating distribution in Hilton Head Island
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.0.
