Take the 3 hour tour!
Unlike Gilligan and the gang, we LOVED this 3 Hour tour. Captain Ryan showed us places we could not have seen without a boat. From the marsh itself with all the amazing wildlife, to the sandy beaches of your own private island. This trip gave us memories we’ll have long after we go home.

Great team outing
As a small refrigeration company in Charleston we’re always looking for ways to relax. The Folly Tiki was just the ticket. We took our employees on a 4 hour tour and it was everything the reviews said it would be! Thanks Folly Tiki for a great time.

Spotless Bathroom
We had an incredible 3-hour tour! Setup was perfect for a relaxing day, with comfortable seating and a center bar made it easy to enjoy the snacks we brought. The boat even had a spotless bathroom! Capt Ryan provided an ice chest and speakers. We got to explore two islands, and encountered dolphins! We highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a fun and memorable day on the water! Capt Ryan is chill with a great personality. Truly a wonderful host! Mahsa Kashani Tippins

Bachelorette trip Highlight
This was the highlight of my birthday and bachelorette weekend. Capt Ryan and Summer are the most genuine, compassionate and fun folks to be on the boat with. The energy on the boat was unmatched and perfectly on brand for our girls trip. We even decided to extend the trip an extra hour because we didn’t want it to end! 10/10 would recommend chartering this boat service, you’ll be so glad you did 🌊🤙🏻

Better than expected!
We booked a boat tour for a bachelorette party and could not have had a better time. Ryan and I spent time personalizing what the group would want, he understood our needs and made really great suggestions. Ryan and Summer made sure we were safe, happy, and having a great time. The whole process was so easy and better than I could have expected. I also learned a lot of dolphin facts which rocked. If I return to Charleston they’ll be my first call! Hailey Krinsky
