Private Boat Charters from St. Helena Island: Your Gateway to Lowcountry Adventure
If you’re staying at Hunting Island State Park or Fripp Island, you’re already immersed in the natural beauty of South Carolina’s Lowcountry. But to truly experience the wild, untamed side of this coastline, you need to get out on the water.
With a waterside location located just a few miles away, we’re your gateway to the wild.
From our St. Helena Island outpost, Coastal Expeditions offers private boat charters that take you beyond the beach and into a world of tidal creeks, remote barrier islands, and rich coastal ecosystems. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing family outing, a birding expedition, or a custom trip to explore the ACE Basin, our charters can be tailored just for you.
