We paid cash because they wouldn't accept anything else, they had to turn around and come back. Said they'd refund our money -- woman took off with the money so they said they'd send us a check -- surprise -- no check. I would never do business with them again. Have filed a complaint with the BBB and Chamber of Commerce there.

Pirate Ship Jolly Rover
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/18/07
I am a South Carolina native 46 years old. I grew up in Georgetown County. I was also aboard the Jolly Rover the day it was caught in a thunderstorm in July of 2007.
I happen to know the crew of this vessel personally. The current Captain has worked on this vessel in this Bay for the last eight years. 6-8 hours a day and sometimes at ...

Educational and fun!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/07/07
We went with a family member who wanted to go shelling. My husband and I went along for the trip to be good sports. I'm so glad we did!
This is great for adults or families. The tour was fascinating and we learned so much about the environmental challenges of the area, the history and development of the area as well as fantastic tales of ...
* "Best shell collecting on the Carolina Coast" - Hahahahaha, it is to laugh. We, and most of the rest of our party, found nothing but oyster shells, broken things, and TRASH. We landed at or near high tide, the worst possible time for shell-collecting. It is amazingly unscrupulous to take people on something that you're billing as ...

Yo ho, yo ho!

My husband, father-in-law & his wife and I (4 adults) took the Pirate Adventure tour in early Aug 2007. We had a coupon for $2 off the advertised price, so paid $88 total.
The passenger seating is on the deck, with a small space belowdeck - drinks and snacks are available for $1 each; restroom facilities are emergency only while underway; ...

Highly Recommended!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/28/07
My wife and I enjoyed the Jolly Rover Pirate Adventure very much. The Captain and crew were GREAT! I can highly recommend this trip. I think the folks from San Diego, California should leave the hallucinogenics at home the next time they visit the low country.

Boat almost capsized
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/23/07
This was the most terrifying experience of my life. We took the Jolly Rover pirate adventure with our entire family - 6 adults and 6 young children. With all of the sails up and two storms in sight, the children were in the middle of the boat on the deck participating in some of the pirate activities. Luckily I was right there with my two small ...

Shell Adventure
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/15/07
Me, My husband, and two children ages 8 and 6 took this tour together. The boat ride to the island took about 1 hour. It was informative and we got to see some plantations. Even though the brochure says you sail on smooth inland waters, the water can get very choppy. You do get really wet on the boat, especially if you sit on the first few rows. ...
My husband and I, along with our 8 year old daughter and 8 year old neice, and six year old nephew and sister and brother in law all took this tour together. My brother-in-law was kind of grumpy about going on the trip because it was an hour and a half away from our condo in North Myrtle Beach. By the time it was over we were planning the next ...

Definitely will do it again!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/13/07
The tour was awesome. The guide and Captain were very descriptive of the areas. The lighthouse and shelling were the best. A storm popped up while we were out and we were kind of stuck in it but it made it so awesome. We all sang, "A Three Hour Tour"!Loved it, we will be going back this year!
