Details

Hilton Head Island, located off South Carolina's coast, is a vibrant gateway to Lowcountry waterways, salt marshes, and the Atlantic’s gentle swells. BC2 - Island Head offers private charters aboard Bonjour Private Charter, setting a distinct pace for those ready to go beyond the usual beachside routines. Unlike traditional group tours, BC2’s charters tailor each trip to your preferences—whether cruising secluded estuaries, fishing the rich intercoastal waters, or spotting dolphins skimming the surface just offshore.

The region’s unique ecosystem blends tidal creeks, oyster beds, and maritime forests, hosting diverse bird species like ospreys and herons. Guests often find themselves drifting through peaceful channels lined with towering palmettos and live oaks draped in Spanish moss, a glimpse of the coastal South’s quiet grandeur. Historically, this area has been important for its role in maritime trade and shellfish harvesting; BC2 keeps this legacy alive by introducing visitors to the region’s waterways in an intimate, sustainable way.

What sets BC2 - Island Head apart is the private nature of the experience. The crew’s deep local knowledge uncovers hidden routes far from crowded marinas and public docks. Whether you’re angling for spotted sea trout or simply soaking in the sunset, the Bonjour creates space for connection—between people, place, and water.

For travelers seeking a personalized maritime adventure on Hilton Head Island’s shimmering waters, BC2 private charters are a distinct offering. With flexible itineraries and a focus on local ecology and culture, they provide access to a side of South Carolina’s coast often missed by conventional tours.
