The reviews were good and the price was great. I called and talked with Bud, who was very accommodating. He immediately agreed to meet us at a time that was more convenient for us, and I was able to pay online to secure the slot. We arrived at the boat landing a few minutes before Bud. When he arrived, he greeted us warmly and gave me a great overview of operating the boat. Once we were in the waterway, we enjoyed 4 hours of peaceful dolphin watching and admiring the beauty of the Hilton Head marshland and waterfront. Bud was back at the dock on time to greet us when we returned, and we were immediately able to load the boat onto the trailer with his direction. This was a really fun activity for our family, and Bud made it really easy and pleasant. I recommend Bud and Chechessee Tours without hesitation.

Of course the yacht itself is incredible but the crew made it even more special. They spent a lot of time with me in advance to plan the perfect night. The chef was 5 stars, we are still dreaming about the meal. Captain Ed went above and beyond arranging every detail for the perfect night. The stewardess, Carrie, was attentive, kind, fun, and always made sure we had more than enough. I give Top Shelf 10/10 and look forward to chartering it again in the future. They made a memorable experience even more magical!!

Captain Ed and Chef Joel were accommodating and hospitable. We all agreed that the experience was extraordinary and unique. The boat is luxurious and well equipped, with several indoor and outdoor areas to gather.

I am not sure how the night could've gotten any better. A heartfelt thank you to the Top Shelf crew that made my birthday so very special

From the moment we set off, Bryan's energy, knowledge, and sense of fun made the trip something truly special. We went shark tooth hunting (and found A LOT!), got an awesome history lesson along the way, and explored beautiful Daufuskie Island. Bryan is not only an incredible captain but also a fantastic guide who made the entire experience engaging and memorable for the whole family.

Yes, we did see lots of dolphins including two families, i.e. adults with a calf. She answered all of our questions during a very comfortable boat ride.
