Scout 222 Sportfish Deep V

This 222 is an all around performer with the capabilities of a much larger boat.

She is a serious fishing boat that is also adept at taking the whole family out for a day on the water. Scout hull designs are known for their sea keeping abilities, and she will keep you comfortable and dry in rough weather. Her 100 gal tank gives you incredible range. She can do everything you ask of her from zipping out to your favorite fishing spot, to towing a water-skier, all in the manageable and economical package of a 22ft boat.

Captain Dick

Age 45
18 years on the Island

Never far from the water, Captain Dick was born in California, raised in the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” and has spent the last 18 years enhancing Hilton Head Island, with his variety of talents and interests.  A motivated, optimistic humanitarian, Captain Dick is a true builder at heart.  He derives satisfaction and fulfillment in helping all he encounters, to create delightful and exciting memories.

A motivated, optimistic humanitarian, Captain Dick has always derived satisfaction and fulfillment in helping all he encounters, to create delightful and exciting memories.

Fascinated by the ocean and it’s inhabitants, Captain Dick is inspired by the charming mystique and playful nature of dolphins.  Similarly, to his journey as a father, dolphins awaken his senses to embrace presence in the moment.  As a representative of the mysterious depths of planet Earth’s oceanic universe, these blissful, adventurous sea creatures are an enchanted reminder for him, to have appreciation for the present and passage of time.  Each precious moment, with dolphins, reveals how time has a way of traveling backwards, from present to past and future to present, in the blink of an eye.

Both professionally and personally, Captain Dick’s positive influence has been seen and felt on the island since 2003.  Beginning with homebuilding/construction, to fostering fun and entertainment through restaurant management.  Presently, Captain Dick remains active in developing and maintaining peaceful and supportive home environments, not only for his own family, but also through his two Visiting Angels Home Care franchises, which have served the Lowcountry, under his ownership, for nearly the past decade.

In his free time, Captain Dick enjoys being outdoors, Father-son French toast and bacon Sundays.  His favorite day of the year is Halloween.

      Captain Brody

      Age 36
      22 years on the water

      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.

      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.
      Response from the owner:Thankyou for the 5 star review Michelle yall were an absolute blast 🤙🏼
      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
      Response from the owner:Thankyou Neha for the five star review, im glad we were able to get yall out for the dolphin tour and look forward to the next time 🤙🏼
      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!

      Response from the owner:Thankyou Dan for your five star review. Here at hilton head dolphin tours we hope to create memorable experiences
      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.
      Response from the owner:Thankyou Susan for five star review on hilton head dolphin tour we look forward to seeing you this fall 😀
      Response from the owner:thankyou for the 5 star Review Lindsay we are happy you enjoyed your Hilton head dolphin tour today

      Response from the owner:Thankyou Ross for the five star review, im excited we were able to get yall out there. I look forward to showing yall the rest of the area. Till next time guys 🤙🏼
      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!

      Response from the owner:Thankyou so much for the 5 star review Julie. We are so glad you enjoyed your vanishing island tourand saw lots of dolohins we look forward to taking you out in the future.
      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.

      Response from the owner:Thankyou for the 5 star review!
      What a wonderful experience with Captain Brody for a Hilton Head dolphin tour. First, he was super responsive when booking. During the cruise, Captain Brody was engaging, entertaining and knowledgeable. He knew exactly where to go for the best viewing of not just dolphins, but manta rays jumping out of the water. You can tell he knew the best spots because the larger commercial vessels were following him! Great experience for our family, highly recommend.

      We loved the disappearing island tour! Would definitely recommend. Saw dolphins, jelly fish, starfish and many shells. Our 8 year old daughter loved it too. Brody was a great boat captain.
      Response from the owner:Thankyou Melissa for the 5 star review. I'm happy you were able to see the disappearing.
      We booked our crabbing tour very last minute as in at 8pm the night prior and Capt Brody luckily was able to accommodate our family of 6. We expected to learn about crabbing but he also taught us about fishing. On top of that, we got visited by dolphin Charlie. It was a private tour that all the kids enjoyed. Kids caught at least 6 fish and were very excited about the dolphin. Capt Brody was a very cool guy and his pricing is also quite reasonable. Strongly recommend.

      Response from the owner:Thankyou for the 5 star review
      Captain Brody is a very pleasant and knowledgable captain with noticeable confidence and experience on the water. In addition to getting an up close and personal wink from a 45 year old local celebrity dolphin named Charley, we also had the pleasure of seeing many more dolphins, and hearing interesting stories along the way. Our family of 5 fully enjoyed the 2 hour dolphin cruise!! We are also excited to return for a longer in-depth cruise in the spring/summer to experience the migrating dolphin population and sea life. I wouldn’t hesitate to fully recommend Captain Brody. Thank you for the great afternoon!
      Response from the owner:Thankyou for the 5 star review, we're very glad captain Brody took good care. We look forward to taking you out in the future.
