The TURSI-OPS is a state of the art 42 foot custom built and designed Rigid Hull Inflatable or more commonly known as an RHI. It was designed by a New Zealand company called NAIAD and built here in the U.S.A. This is not your average tour boat!
Unlike other boats in the Myrtle Beach South Carolina are, our dolphin watch boat was specifically designed and built for what we do. Dolphin watching. This is not a converted dive boat or giant offshore fishing vessel with limited viewing opportunities. We designed this vessel from the keel up with the passenger in mind. Every seat has a 360-degree view of the surroundings. No cabin or wheelhouse blocking your view.
The TURSI-OPS provides individual seating for 40 passengers on our dolphin watch cruise tours. No fighting for bench space here. You get your own seat with a great view.
