Express Watersports is a family-owned, one-stop watersports resort center in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, with more than 28 years of experience and widely considered the most trusted watersports and scuba diving center in the Myrtle Beach area. The business is a genuine local landmark, docked directly behind Drunken Jack’s Restaurant, Bubba’s Love Shak, J Peters Grill and Bar, and the Mullet Hut along the famous Murrells Inlet Marshwalk, with a 3,500-square-foot retail store, free parking, showers, restrooms, and changing rooms for customers.
The activity lineup spans parasailing, jet ski rentals and eco tours, banana boat rides, kayak rentals and guided tours, stand-up paddleboards, pontoon boat rentals, scuba diving charters and full certification classes (including a Discover Scuba intro program and freediving courses), and a Set Sail Charter Co. private cruise aboard Miss Adventure, captained by Steely Hays. Cruise offerings include Dolphin Watch & Ocean Sightseeing, a Sunset Happy Hour Cruise with open bar (free beer and wine, plus a fruit and cheese tray), Day Sailing & Sunset Sails aboard a 38-foot Adventure Catamaran, a July 4th Fireworks Cruise, and Memorial at Sea/ashes scattering services.
The passenger fleet is fully US Coast Guard inspected, with all crew CPR certified, AED trained, and enrolled in a mandatory drug and alcohol testing program — a distinction the business notes many competitors in the area lack. The fleet includes a Newton 46′ for scuba diving, dolphin watch, and sunset cruises; a CWS Ocean Pro 35′ for parasailing; a 31′ Seaquest CWS Rib Inflatable for dolphin watch, sunset cruises, and parasail shuttle service; and the 38′ Adventure sailing catamaran. Jet ski and pontoon fleets are refreshed yearly.
Business hours run Monday 8am-6pm and Tuesday through Sunday 8am-7pm. The company has earned a TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award and is recognized as a Marine Mammal Ambassador, and it serves the entire Grand Strand from Little River to Georgetown.
With an extraordinary 3,722 reviews at 4.7, Express Watersports has built one of the largest and most established reputations of any watersports operator in the entire Myrtle Beach region.
For anyone visiting Murrells Inlet or the broader Myrtle Beach area looking for parasailing, jet skis, scuba diving, sailing, or dolphin cruises, Express Watersports offers an exceptionally well-established, all-in-one watersports resort center right on the Marshwalk.
