Our Dolphin & Sealife cruise is a great family-friendly activity that takes you through the inlet to the ocean on the search for local wildlife!

If you’re looking for a relaxing adventure that showcases the natural beauty of Murrells Inlet, our Saltwater Marsh Eco Excursion is one of the area’s hidden gems. This guided cruise explores the pristine salt marsh ecosystem that has earned Murrells Inlet its reputation as the “Seafood Capital of South Carolina.”
Along the way, our knowledgeable naturalists share fascinating facts about the local environment while pointing out wildlife that calls the marsh home. Depending on the day, you may spot bottlenose dolphins, ospreys, brown pelicans, great blue herons, snowy egrets, fiddler crabs, horseshoe crabs, jumping mullet, and countless other native species. It’s an incredible experience for photographers, birdwatchers, nature lovers, and families wanting to learn more about the unique coastal ecosystem.

Set Sail on a Pirate Adventure for a more Kid-centric water activity
The Children’s Pirate Adventure has been a long-standing Murrells Inlet favorite among visiting tourists and local families alike! A place where children come to experience the magic of sailing away in search of sunken treasure onboard our pirate ship, the Sea Gypsy. Young pirates will enjoy an interactive experience complete with face-painting, pirate training, water cannon battles, and plenty of excitement.
Parents get to sit back and relax in the shade of the boat and watch the kiddos’ imaginations come alive; the whole family will leave with stories to talk about long after the trip ends.
The Children’s Pirate Adventure is a must-do adventure you won’t want to miss if you’re in the area with children.

Sunset Cruises that fit your vacation vibe!
At Crazy Sister Marina, we have an Ocean Sunset Dolphin & Sealife Cruise, an Inlet Sunset Cruise, and a Children’s Pirate Sunset Adventure! Something for everyone! We run these trips every night of the week, weather permitting, so you have the chance to fit something into your vacation schedule.
Our Ocean Sunset Dolphin & Sealife Cruise is a 75 minute cruise that traverses thru the inlet, out into the ocean, on the hunt for dolphins while also enjoying a gorgeous Murrells Inlet Sunset. Our Inlet Sunset Cruise is a 60 minute cruise for those looking for a boat ride that doesn’t go out into the ocean. We will take the boat up to the mouth of the ocean to sneak a peek out to the Atlantic, then ride back through the inlet watching the colors of the sunset reflect off the water. Lastly, our Children’s Pirate Sunset Adventure is exactly what it sounds like! Have the same type of fun you would have with your kids on our daytime Children’s Pirates Adventure while enjoying the sunset views! This cruise will keep you in the inlet, while searching for treasure, fighting bad guys, and learning how to live the pirate life!
