Whether you are an angler, a new boat owner wanting to learn where (and where not!) to go, or would just like to take a great boat ride and enjoy the amazing Lowcountry marsh and river views, Big Marsh can accommodate your boating wishes – and at a competitive rate!

Additional Information: Please remember that it is always 10-15 degrees cooler out on the water. Don’t forget sunglasses. Polorized amber or rose colored lenses are best when sightfishing. Please NO aerosol sunscreen!!!!  Spray sunscreen will leave stains on boat and make decks slippery and unsafe. Please no hard or dark soled shoes. THANKS!

Sight Seeing Trips

Our estuaries are surrounded by thousands of acres of wildlife sanctuaries, historic rice plantations, and secluded beaches including Hobcaw Barony and the Tom Yawkey Center on South Island. On Tom Yawkey’s North Island, the barrier island separating Winyah Bay from the Atlantic, there stands the Georgetown Light (1811). The salt marshes are bound by palm trees and spanish moss covered live oaks, not development. Coexisting in this diverse ecosystem are alligators, whitetail deer, wild hogs, bald eagles, ospreys, bottlenose dolphin, eastern brown pelicans, and countless species of shorebirds. Warm days in early Spring is a great time to view large numbers of alligators.

We also offer tours up the canals of DeBordieu Colony to view the beautiful estates that over look the salt marshes of pristine North Inlet.
