About Island Skiff Adventure Tours
Island Skiff Adventure Tours operates unique CraigCat catamaran eco-tours from Broad Creek Marina on Hilton Head Island. Instead of packing guests onto a large tour boat, they put visitors behind the wheel of their own two-person, mini-catamaran power boats for a self-guided adventure through the island's waterways — guided by a lead captain in a separate vessel.
Tour routes wind through the tidal creeks and marshes surrounding Hilton Head, with frequent dolphin sightings, encounters with shore birds, and stops at sandbars and remote beaches. The CraigCats are stable, easy to operate, and require no boating experience, making them accessible for families, couples, and groups. Tours run approximately 90 minutes and depart multiple times daily during season.
Island Skiff stands apart from every other dolphin tour on the island because guests actively pilot their own boat rather than sitting as passengers. That hands-on element — combined with the open-air CraigCat design — creates an immersive, adventurous feel that traditional tour boats simply cannot match. The mid-island Broad Creek Marina location offers free parking and no gate fees, and their consistently top-rated TripAdvisor reviews reflect a truly memorable experience.
