The Holiday reopens today & Capt. Mark is ready to go! We will run daily at 11:00, 2:00, & 7:15. We are only cruising with 50 people per trip at this time. (capacity is 150) We ask that you observe social distancing & wear a mask, especially in our enclosed spaces, for the safety of our crew & other passengers. Kick back, relax, & enjoy your cruise! Due to limited space, we encourage you to make your reservation at cruisehiltonhead.com.

Captain Mark is looking for a part time captain to run the Crabber J and be a relief captain for the holiday.

25 ton license required, 100 ton preferred.

Our beautiful girl is STILL in dry dock. The boat yard was closed for two months, and the coast guard wasn’t doing any in person inspections. Now that things are safer and opening back up, she still has a little bit of work to be done, and then the coast guard can certify us for the year. We are sure sorry about any inconvenience this may cause, and we look forward to starting up our season by the end of June.

03/04/2020

Our beautiful “Holiday” is still in dry dock finishing repairs, painting, & annual Coast Guard inspection! Let’s hope the weather cooperates so we can get this little lady back in the water! We will let you know when she splashes & heads back to HHI to begin our 2020 season! 🐬 🛳

Capt Mark stood still & watched his boat go by!

Pulling from the cradle to dry land

Capt. Mark captured a bit of Mother Nature’s beautiful colors & shadings on our Sunset Fireworks Cruise July 9th!

Dolphin fun! 🐬

More dolphin fun from Tuesday evening! We had 4 dolphin in the bow wake, 2 on each side. The 2 on the port (left) side surfed; the 2 on the starboard side enjoyed leaping! They all rode the bow wake for quite a while. We never tire of this!🐬

Dolphin fun on Tuesday’s Sunset Cruise! Thank you to one of our passengers for sharing this video! He filmed these 2 on the starboard side while I filmed the 2 on the port side. We made lots of new friends on this cruise; it was a great evening!🐬
