Dock wisdom

Kiawah is gated, so the public boat trips run out of Bohicket Marina at the Freshfields gateway.

Morning trips get the calmest water and the most active dolphin pods.

Big Lowcountry tide swings drive the fishing; guides time the moving water around the inlet.

Captain Sam's Inlet has strong currents, leave the exploring to a guided boat.

Operators are real local fixtures — confirm current sailing times and prices with each operator before you go. Countdowns run on the real local clock and the sunset sail time is computed from tonight’s actual sunset.
