Vagabond cruise offers a variety of different excursions for one to choose from. During my recent extended visit I had the opportunity to experience most of them. The dolphin cruise is fun and very educational. I learned so much about the surrounding low country and took some pretty amazing photos and the dolphins put on a great show. Captain John... More

We booked a sailing cruise on the Carolina Moon which is apparently a new catamarand. We had a brand new boat, a new captain, a new crew member & 2 crew members who were evidently unfamiliar with the boat. One of them said "We don't really know how this boat runs yet." The cruise was 90 minutes. It started out... More

We scheduled a boat ride to Savanna several days after we arrived in Hilton Head. When the day of our departure arrived a huge tropical storm was about to hit and they woukd not allow us to cancel our reservations. The boat ride was long and boring and we spent several rain soaked hours in Savanna not able to see... More

I understand you were unhappy because it was raining. As far as a tropical storm is concerned the day you went was not bad at all we had light rain if any. The weather report all week was a 60% chance of rain. That night around 7:30 it did rain ,but you were safely returned to harbour town and hopefully... More

Our 40th wedding anniversary was so special thanks to Ryan, Carlie, Chelsea, Matt and Captain Chuck and the wanna be Captain Crank. Lol. Loads of fun.

Sunny day out on the ocean...We took some guests out on a dolphin cruise and the entire ride was excellent. Our captain explained so many things and we saw and learned alot about the dolphins. It was a wonderful cruise made even better because the tickets were reduced with a living social deal. Will take other guests there!

We took 50+ people on the Spirit of Harbour Town for our son's rehearsal dinner and had a great cruise. The next day at the wedding everyone was talking about how wonderful the food was and how unique and fun it was to have a rehearsal dinner on a cruise. Several guests remarked how the smoked brisket was the best... More

The boat was cozy, and lots of room on it. The staff on the boat were super nice and very friendly. I try to do trips like this wherever they've available, and this one was fun. It was a very small group on board, and we did see a fair number of dolphins. I had hoped for a little better... More

My girlfriend and I enjoyed a wonderful romantic evening on a dinner cruise with Vagabond Cruise. From the moment we stepped on the boat, we felt like honored guests. The crew (Joel, Kim and Will) were friendly and very attentive. The Captain and the cruise manager were also very friendly and attentive. Even the dishwasher came out to greet us.... More

When visiting Hilton Head Island, the Dinner Cruise on the Vagabond is a must. Captain Chuck and Manager Mike are top notch!

We chose to take the dinner sunset cruise. The staff, especially Kim, was very attentive, informative and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Thank you from your friends from Michigan.
