Can we bring any food or drink?

No outside food or drink is allowed on the boat UNLESS you have booked one of the private charters. The Catamaran dolphin cruise will have drinks, snacks and alcohol for sale during the trip.

Where are you located?

The boat leaves from the face dock at Cherry Grove Marina 2201 Little River Neck Rd. North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582

Where do we park and is it free?

There are designated parking spots just past the marina office on the right side of the road near the ticket booth. Parking is free.

Are there bathrooms on the boat?

The catamaran and the Need 4 Speed have bathrooms onboard. The Thrillseeker does not. Restrooms are available at the ticket booth for all rides. We recommend all guests use the restroom before boarding the boat.

What if it rains/ocean rough?

Safety is the highest priority. We will cancel all cruises if there is inclement weather that makes it too dangerous to go out. If a cruise is cancelled, we will notify you by phone if possible. Do not assume a cruise is cancelled because of the weather report! Keep in mind, we are a coastal town, and weather is unpredictable and moves in quickly at times. If the Coast Guard issues a small craft advisory, we will not take the boat into the Ocean. This does not mean the cruise is cancelled. As an alternative we will spend more time at the beach and/or cruise longer on the ICW into North Carolina.

Had a great dolphin cruise with Capt Forrest and First Mate Chip. Plus, we actually saw dolphin! I will definitely recommend Southern Shores to anyone wanting to have a good time on the water with a knowledgeable Capt and crew.

Great tour!! Saw lots of dolphins. I really liked the fact that the catamaran isn't so huge like some tour boats. Stopping on an uninhabited island was a plus.

Captain Jason and First Mate Tyler were very fun, friendly and knowledgeable. They served us fun frozen beverages, we saw dolphins and enjoyed the sunshine. 100% would recommend.

We had a wonderful time. Everything was fantastic. Captain played music for us and our cruise was full of enthusiastic people. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone. We were given highlights of the area as we set out to see the dolphins. While we were reminded that nothing is guaranteed, we were rewarded with many sightings of those fantastic creatures. Boat was clean and safe and the cruise was made even more memorable by only allowing a limited number of participants. It was so much better and more friendly to be with a smaller group of people than to be crammed on a bigger boat with double the number of people! Don't hesitate to take this catamaran cruise...you'll love it!

We did the noon dolphin cruise. We had a great time! I really enjoyed the smaller catamaran over a larger boat. Along with that fewer people. I know everyday is different and they don’t know if or how many dolphins they may see. We got lucky and saw soooo many. I would guess about 30. We had perfect weather. Being on a smaller boat the captain was able to get pretty close to them. He also took us by a shrimp boat. That was neat to see. Forest was a great captain. Very personable and fun. The first mate (I’m sorry I don’t remember her name) was also great. I highly recommend!
