About
Just when you thought our cruises couldn’t get any better … we went and added fireworks! (You’re welcome!) Join us every Tuesday night (June 13 thru Aug 15) as we celebrate Shelter Cove’s Harbourfest in first-class style. We’ll cruise through Hilton Head Island’s inland waterways, show you all the sights including Atlantic bottle-nose dolphin, sea birds, private plantations, Daufuskie Island, and the famous Harbour Town lighthouse (with live narration of course), then drift while you experience our must-see sunset, and cap it all off with a fabulous fireworks display we scheduled just for you. Talk about a grand-slam evening!
