Beautiful ride on the river. We saw houses from the water, learned some interesting history that I had not heard on other tours and saw interesting birds and dolphins. What more can you ask for?

A wonderful and relaxing time on the water. Excellent hosts and very knowledgeable and entertaining. Took the time to allow for dolphin viewing which is always exciting. Will be back again.

This was very disappointing. Miimal information was provided about the river and area's ecosystem and the scenery is just OK. Maybe better at sunset.

Six of us cruised the Beaufort River with Captain Dick. He gives just the right amount of information without disrupting the beautiful quiet of the river. We stopped several times to watch the dophins play. Our family has been coming to this area for over 20 years but we not ever taken a tour of Beaufort by water. Truly a... More

It's always great to be out on the water and Capt. Dick does a super job. The $18 is such a deal - it's a very relaxing and informative cruise. Capt. Dick is very knowledgeable about the area and points out areas of interest without being too chatty! We saw dolphins and watched the swing bridge in operation. Thank you... More

Young children, grandparents, and couples were on our tour. We did make a reservation, and they leave on time. Do not judge the experience by the rude person who answered the phone. She was very short when I referred to the information that was posted on the website. This created a low expectation. I was happy the captain and the... More

Captain Dick's River Tours in the beautiful coastal town of Beaufort, SC is a must. Capt. Dick and first mate Linda give a tour that makes you wish it could last all day. Not only do you cruise the beautful Beaufort River on the "Prince of Tides" but see many of the historical homes by water. Capt. Dick and Linda... More

We recently took this water tour of the Beaufort area. It was a nice, informative1-1/2 hr tour. Capt. Dick stopped several times for us to enjoy watching the bottlenose dolphin. I've seen Beaufort many times from the shore, but it was nice to see it from a different view. I highly recommend this tour.

Beaufort itself is surrounded by water, so therefore it is only natural to view it by boat. Captain Dick and his wife (the first mate) make an excellent team aboard the Prince of Tides, which truthfully could be a little more updated and comfortable than the pontoon that it is. However, the actual tour itself is great. The opportunities to... More
