About Lowcountry Watersports
Lowcountry Watersports is one of Hilton Head Island's most comprehensive water adventure companies, operating from Helmsman Way at the Palmetto Bay Marina on the island's south end. Their breadth of offerings is impressive — dolphin cruises, pirate-themed family tours, jet ski rentals, guided kayak and paddleboard excursions, boat tours, sunset cruises, and parasailing — all available from a single waterfront location. This one-stop-shop model makes them an especially popular choice for vacationing families who want to book multiple water activities without driving to different operators across the island.
Their signature Pirate Cruise is a family favourite, featuring a costumed crew, treasure hunts, and water cannon battles aboard a specially outfitted vessel that keeps kids entertained while parents enjoy the scenery. For older visitors, the dolphin nature cruises offer a more relaxed pace with naturalist commentary, and the jet ski tours let riders explore the intracoastal waterway and open sound under the guidance of experienced tour leaders. Kayak and SUP tours launch from the marina's sheltered basin, making for easy put-ins and calm starting conditions before venturing into the surrounding tidal marshes. Parasailing flights offer an aerial perspective of the island's coastline and Daufuskie Island across Calibogue Sound.
What makes Lowcountry Watersports a standout on Hilton Head is the sheer variety of experiences available at one location combined with consistently high service standards. Their online booking system, flexible scheduling, and family-friendly pricing bundles make it easy to fill an entire vacation week with different water adventures. The Palmetto Bay Marina location also offers dining and shopping within walking distance, so non-participating family members have plenty to do while the adventurers are on the water. For visitors who want maximum aquatic variety with minimum logistical hassle, Lowcountry Watersports is hard to beat.
