Daufuskie Island is the southern most barrier island in the state of South Carolina. Situated between Hilton Head to the north east and Tybee Island, GA to the south, Daufuskie is not accessible by roads from the mainland (and we like it that way). A vast majority of travelers to and from the island will do so by boat. Below are some helpful links to the most popular options for water transportation to the island. We will provide complimentary pick up and drop off to your boat embarkation if you need it and are a day tripper coming to ride with us.
There are several reputable water transportation options to choose from when planning your trip to Daufuskie. As of January 2024, the contract for the Beaufort County subsidized ferry was awarded to Lowcountry Ferry Co. Unfortunately, due to cost, service and safety concerns we are unable to recommend them at this time.
Here are some of the best options that we highly recommend!
Do you want to rent a golf cart for the day or overnight during your stay on Daufuskie? Contact Daufuskie Life.
Wanting to make a few days or longer stay while planning your horseback riding adventure on Daufuskie? Look no further than Daufuskie Rental Group.
If you arrive by your own boat, your best bet is to tie up at Freeport Marina. If you have questions or special requests, please don’t hesitate to contact us, we will do our best to accommodate you. Likewise, if you are a charter captain offering runs to Daufuskie and would like to discuss a package tour with us, also please contact us directly 843-368-3636 talk/text or email ride@daufuskiemarshtackysociety.org
Please be mindful that we are family owned and operated as well as short staffed! The best way to contact us is by text message. We will get back to you as fast as we can. Thank you.
