Our holiday schedule is filling up! (Thank goodness!) This gives us more ways to serve a solo traveler or couple without having to charge the boat minimum for a DI run. Our per-person fare with luggage is $50 each way, but we must collect $150 per operating hour or we are losing money on the trip. A DI run is--you guessed it--1 hour. Many of our regulars pay the minimum without a wince, but some folks are looking for a better deal. If you are flexible on your dates and/or times for travel, we will help you if we can.

Just about 4 years ago my friend Bayard Huggins asked if we could bring a guitar player over to D'fuskies Store, Bar, and Eatery on Daufuskie Island, South Carolina for the "Taco Thursday" event. That chance encounter has turned into a fine friendship with not just Eric Daubert , but many of his musician friends as well like Joe's Piano Bar Joe Jarka, Mike Korbar, and Evan Rose (et al). And we saved a guy's life once for extra credit. We've had a lot of good times together, but last night took it to a new level. It was the same Eric, but with a new set of shoes and a stage full of talent! A good time was had by all!
We will let you know whenever we are bringing Eric (and friends) to DI so that you can enjoy the show:-) Maybe someday we will hear Eric and "The Low Country All Stars" on ...

We had a great time taking this family on a loop tour! 3 generations saw the sights and heard the stories.
They won this experience by buying raffle tickets for the Tybee YMCA's fund-raising program to support breast cancer research, and support for those dealing with it. As 3 of our friends are in the middle of this fight, it was an easy choice for us to donate this gift.
Hold fast ladies, help is on the way!

Did you know? We provide boater training in addition to charters and Daufuskie Island, South Carolina trips.
We can use your boat or ours! These happy captains enjoyed a 90 minute classroom session followed by a 90 minute on-water practical exercise. And man! It were pretty out there!!!

Let us show you a good time too!

What glorious weather we are having. Smiles all 'round! But while smiling, BOLO for trees in the river!
Evening update...
We were done for Sunday, laying on the couch at noon, and the phone rang. Bull River Marina and Bull River Cruises needed a Captain. Last minute. Here we go! Cast off those lines!!! Video in comment.

Tis the season, and as Yogi Berra said, "It ain't over til it's over!"
We took a family of DI first-timers today; Lori the The Nauti Butler did the groceries, the dolphins did their part on the way over, and Pat at Daufuskie Life picked them up right on time. They are in for a wonderful vacation!

And...
We're back!

Well here we go again:-(
Headed to DI shortly to get 3 pax back to the world, then both boats are going into the barn while the winds do their thing. This has been a humdinger of a hurricane season and our thoughts and prayers are with so.many.folks whose lives have been disrupted (or worse). Let's all focus on being kind to each other and helping our neighbors...

No sooner did the storm leave than we were back to work on the water. This was a crazy-hybrid charter for a Savannah Boathouse customer who wanted 40 pax picked up downtown, brought to the marina for a rehearsal dinner, then returned to river street. As our boats aren't suited for that we referred the job to Bull River Marina and their large party boat. Turned out their boat wasn't going to be in service so Will arranged to use the Explorer from Bull River Cruises--the boat we often run for larger groups. Then Will asked us to run the charter!
Confused yet? Us too:-)
But we got it done, the pax had a party, and it was great working with Captain Grason from BRM. All's well that ends well!

Cost of running a boat to Daufuskie Island? At least $106 per trip, plus captain pay.
Gas? $5.10 per gallon.
Getting a seat cushion replaced after a dog holes it? $225.
Having a customer think enough of our service to thank us days after the trip?
Priceless!

Big thanks to Grace, Concierge at Savannah's Perry Lane Hotel for referring this lovely couple visiting from the UK. They soaked up the sun and the stories and loved the Loop Tour!
And so could you:-)
