FOLLY BEACH KAYAK & SUP RENTALS, BOAT TOURS & DOLPHIN WATCHING

See. Explore. Create Memories.

Located at Crosby’s Fish & Shrimp, on the Folly Creek, we offer guests a prime location to experience South Carolina’s infamous wetlands. From our back door, there’s a limitless amount of area to explore and an abundance of wildlife to see including our resident bottlenosed dolphins.

If you’re looking to kayak or paddleboard, we offer both rentals and guided eco excursions. On the 2-hour kayak excursions, an experienced guide will lead you through Folly’s tidal creeks while teaching you about what our local marshlands have to offer. There truly is something new to see around every corner. You can also rent any of our kayaks or paddle boards to launch from our location and explore Folly by yourself or take off-premise wherever your next adventure awaits. If you are staying on Folly Beach or James Island, we offer FREE delivery for kayak and board rentals!

If you are looking for an excursion by boat, we have those too! You can hop on any of Castaway’s daily boat trips to explore the creeks and rivers that make up Charleston and learn about our local ecosystem. The boat tours that we offer include dolphin watching and eco tours, fossil hunting, and a Morris Island beach drop off where you can explore an uninhabited island, take in the historic lighthouse views and shell hunt. No matter your age or experience, we offer an adventure for you.

So come on down to the Edge of America, get outside, and explore with us!

Our family of four had a great experience on the guided kayaking tour. Hailey called us the day of our scheduled tour to let us know that it was too windy, and we were able to reschedule for the next day. Hunter was a great tour guide. Very polite, and provided great suggestions for local spots. Unfortunately we didn't see any dolphins on our trip, but it was still fun and something different to do. Would definitely use this company again when we are in the area.

We booked a 2-3 hour tour with Castaway while on vacation. Our party was 3 adults and 3 kiddos. Hailey took us down the creek. We had barely cleared the bridge when we saw the first dolphins. Although we didn’t witness it she explained strand feeding and how it is characteristic of dolphins in their area. She took us to an oyster bed and showed the kids oysters and explained plough (pluff) mud. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the dolphins and wildlife and had some charming stories about her family and their life here. The equipment was top notch. We used Liquidlogic tandem kayaks with great seat-backs (they were very solid) and working foot braces. Very stable even with a squirmy kiddo “helping” me paddle. The life jackets were a great fit for everyone from child to XXL adult (also not musty smelling). It’s clear Hailey takes great care of her equipment and customers. We enjoyed the tour very much and will book again. Highly recommended!
