About Island Haze Charters

Your Island Escape, Redefined

At Island Haze Charters, we don’t just offer tours—we create moments that stay with you long after the tide rolls out. Our roots run deep here on Hilton Head Island, where sun-drenched skies, winding waterways, and a slower pace of life invite you to breathe deep and embrace the now.

Homegrown on Hilton Head

Island Haze Charters is proudly local—founded by islanders, run by ocean lovers, and inspired by the rhythm of the Lowcountry. Our crew is a family of seasoned captains, nature buffs, and sunset chasers who’ve spent years exploring these salt marshes, tidal creeks, and backcountry creeks. We know where the dolphins like to play, when the sunsets hit just right, and how to turn a simple boat ride into a story worth telling.

Our tours aren’t mass-produced—they’re handcrafted. Whether you’re drifting into golden hour with a cocktail in hand, watching your kids light up as dolphins play nearby, or escaping the crowds on a private island-hopping adventure, every charter is designed with care, creativity, and that breezy Island Haze vibe.
