The boat slips away from the Hilton Head RV Resort and Marina as the sky shifts toward apricot; gulls wheel and the island’s live oaks slide past like quiet spectators. On this two-hour private sunset cruise the water takes the lead—Calibogue Sound opens ahead, dolphins cutting playful arcs, and low marshes throwing long shadows across tide-swept channels.
