Drifter Excursions

From the south end of Hilton Head Island, Drifter Excursions puts families, groups, and first-timers onto the water for shark fishing adventures and up-close dolphin encounters aboard a four-boat fleet with US Coast Guard Certified crews.

Drifter Excursions runs out of Palmetto Bay Marina on the south end of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, with a fleet of four boats: the 60-foot Drifter party fishing vessel, the 28-foot Boomerang Parker center console, the 27-foot Hobo Carolina Skiff, and the Ricochet. All crews are US Coast Guard Certified and each vessel is equipped with modern electronics. The operation specializes in deep sea fishing, inshore fishing, shark fishing, dolphin watching, and private charters, with the destinations described as just 15–20 minutes from the marina. The flagship Drifter accommodates large groups on party fishing and shark fishing excursions, while the Ricochet offers relaxing, narrated tours on Calibogue Sound suited for families and nature enthusiasts. The smaller Hobo and Boomerang are available for private trips, and the 60-foot Drifter can be reserved exclusively for families, corporate events, and birthday parties. No scuba diving or snorkeling services are advertised by this operator.
