Captain Brody

Captain Brody

At 14yrs old I started SCUBA diving and found a love for the water. Little did I know how much that would directly affect my life.

At 18 I started off working in kitchens and racing Soling sailboats on Wednesday nights and weekends in Lake Michigan. After seven years in Wisconsin my culinary career brought me to South Carolina where I continue to cook, fish and boat as often as possible.

In the past year I've decided I want to spend my time sharing my knowledge and love for the ocean with all.

Sharing is Caring!

Captain Brody was an amazing tour guide for our dolphin boat tour! We saw so many dolphins!!! His knowledge of dolphins combined with his easy going personality (we had to change our time several times due to weather and schedule changes on our end) made for the perfect outing! His tour is the best kept secret in Hilton Head!

We had the best day with Captain Brody on our girls trip! Not only was he knowledgeable, but he was so much fun and accommodating. Definitely book with him when you're in Hilton Head. We just did a booze cruise type trip but he offers so much more.

Captain Brody was amazing. He was recommended to us by another family. I even screwed up the timing and he made it work. My two boys had such a great time looking at dolphins and learning and, of course, cruising. Highly highly recommend

This tour was one of the highlights of our family vacation. We saw dolphins and learned a lot about them as well as many other things in relation to the local wildlife and culture. Thank you!

He is a great tour guide. We did the shortest dolphin tour and he is so knowledgeable about the waterways and wildlife. We saw lots of dolphins and once you see them pop their head up, you start to see them all over. I booked another trip for the fall and cant' wait.

Captain Brody was flexible working with us around the weather and did a great job showing us around. Our kids were stoked to see so many dolphins, as were we. I’ll plan to book again for a future trip.

We went on the disappearing island tour this week and had a great time! We’ve done many dolphin tours before but this was our first time booking a private tour. Definitely worth the money! The boat ride was fun and comfortable, the island was a neat experience, plus we got to see lots of dolphins. The best part was we could take our dog, and I truly think it was the best day of his life!

This was our family’s third time booking with this dolphin tour company, and it just keeps getting better. From the moment we stepped on the boat, the crew made us feel welcome and taken care of. They’re organized, friendly, and clearly love what they do.What really stands out is their knowledge. They don’t just point out dolphins and move on. They explain the behaviors, the feeding patterns, the migration routes, and how the local ecosystem all works together. Our kids enjoyed it! You can tell the team genuinely cares about protecting the marine life and educating guests.Each trip has felt a little different, which makes it exciting every time. We’ve seen playful dolphins swimming alongside the boat, learned about local birds and sea grasses, and come away with a deeper appreciation for the water and everything in it. We’ll absolutely be back again. It’s become one of our favorite family traditions.
