Ocean Sunset Dolphin & Sealife Cruise

Experience a Murrells Inlet Sunset from the Water

Join us for a relaxing 75 minute Sunset Dolphin & Sealife Sightseeing Cruise through the beautiful waters of Murrells Inlet. As the evening light begins to soften, we cruise through the inlet and venture into the Atlantic ocean just beyond the jetties to enjoy wide open coastal views. Experience a sunset like no other with us while searching for local Atlantic bottlenose dolphins and other local sea life. During the cruise our mates will teach you about the area and local marine life that call the area home. We have a live touch tank onboard that offers a hands-on look at some of the fascinating sea life found right here in Murrells Inlet, anything from crabs, starfish, jellyfish, pufferfish, sea urchins, and more! The touch tank is never the same from one cruise to the next, so you never know who you’ll get to meet! Once in the ocean, we will search for dolphins as we travel along the coast. Take in the gorgeous scenery looking out over the water as the sun dips towards the western horizon creating a vibrant Lowcountry sunset. 

To maximize your comfort, our vessel has an indoor air-conditioned cabin, a snack bar, and two bathrooms onboard. This vessel is two stories, so you are free to find a spot upstairs, downstairs along the sides, or inside where there are windows looking out to still allow for viewing. You aren’t tied to one spot the whole time, so feel free to get up and move about the vessel.

This excursion is great for families, couples, groups, bachelor or bachelorette parties- really, it’s a great trip for everyone! This cruise is safe for all ages, including infants and expecting mothers. Strollers are permitted onboard as space allows. We do our best to accommodate for handicap accessibility, but we cannot guarantee due to boat design and tidal restrictions. You can always call the Crazy Sister Marina Ticket Office for any additional questions.
