Tursi-Ops Fun Facts

More About the Best Dolphin Watching Boat

The boat's name?

Blue Wave Adventures Dolphin Tour

The name of our Myrtle Beach, South Carolina Dolphin Watch Vessel, the Tursi-Ops, which was derived as a fun play on words from the scientific name of the dolphins we see, Tursiops Truncatus. The vessel with its military lineage or special“ops”styling, lead us to hyphenate the word to represent what we do. Dolphin search operations or TURSI-OPS.

Is the boat safe?

Yes! Safety is paramount. She is a US Coast Guard Inspected vessel. We must pass various annual and bi-annual safety inspections conducted and certified by their safety officers. In addition to that the boat is always under command by a licensed Captain with a 100 ton Masters rating. Every crew member holds a current Red Cross 1st aid and cpr certificate as well as membership in a random drug testing consortium 🙂 For their safety and comfort we do not take children under the age of three or those that are pregnant.

Myrtle Beach Dolphin Cruise

What type of boat?

Dolphin Cruise in Myrtle Beach

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!

More about the design?

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.
