Bluewater Adventure Hilton Head named #2 Best Boat Tour in USA TODAY

Updated: Apr 19, 2021


A very special congratulations to Bluewater Adventure Hilton Head for winning the #2 Best Boat Tour by USA TODAY! Bluewater Adventure was awarded among a myriad of iconic water-based experiences in the country, from whale watching in Alaska to sunset cruises past waterfalls in Hawaii. A panel of experts partnered with 10Best editors to pick the initial nominees, and the top 10 winners were determined by popular vote.


This local Hilton Head Island, SC family-owned business offers both catamaran tours and cycleboat tours of the beautiful waterways surrounding Hilton Head Island. Guests climb aboard their own two-seat catamaran boats for a guided tour that includes a chance to spot dolphins, manatees and other wildlife. The surprisingly unique watercraft reaches speeds up to 30 miles per hour and is safer than a jet ski with a stable low center gravity and comfortable bucket seats.


“Our tour guide Mike was awesome! We had SUCH a good time on our cat ride. It was a gorgeous night and the sun was setting. We saw dolphins and the breathtaking lush Carolina waters. Do it!! We’re going to do it again next year without a doubt.” -Meghan Dell, Google, September 2020
“Fun! Fun! Fun! The 2 Cat boat tour was a blast. Captain Kenny is very knowledgeable and kept our safety his top priority along with making it fun. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon. My family will be back!” -Kathie Nelms, Google, August 2020

For a more party vibe, Bluewater Adventure also offers a 20-person cycleboat, the first of its kind in Hilton Head Island. Whether you’re planning a bachelor party, a company outing, or just want to mix and mingle with new friends, this party cruise is the place to be.

“We had so much fun yesterday on the cycleboat tour! Definitely recommend everyone trying it out. Spoiler alert....you don’t really have to pedal, you can drink 🍹 and dance 💃🏾.” -Carla Sanfilippo Rohal, Facebook, September 2020

Again, congratulations to Bluewater Adventure and all winning boat tours! For more information and to book a tour, visit our catamaran tours page or call the marina at 855-311-0617.
