Captain Larry Watts:
A Hilton Head Resident for more than 25 years, Captain Larry Watts may be best known for being a beloved veternarian or his work as the local veternarian for the National Marine Mammal Stranding Program. What many may not realize is that Captain Watts would spend all of his off time cruising local waters on his boat indulging his love of photography and wildlife. After taking an early retirment, he decided to combine his passions for boating, wildlife and photography and offer them to the many locals and visitors who desire to see Hilton Head Island in a whole new way.

The Boat
We use an 18-foot Grady-White boat for our tours. This boat is ideal because it is small enough to manuver through the shallow tidal creeks. This allows us to get up close to the wildlife and the flora.
