Just one question, if we reserved the 9:45 am trip to Sand Dollar Island, what time would we arrive back in Morehead City? Larry S.
It's a three hour trip so if you left at 9:45, you'll be back at 12:45. It takes about 1/2 hour to get there and a 1/2 hour back. The captain is great too. We just took this trip a couple weeks ago and we were searching at the wrong end (we didn't find one dead one -- they were all alive and you can't take the live ones), so when you get off the boat, trudge on to the other side of the island closest to the sea because that's where most people found the dead sand dollars. They are good about not leaving you, but bring a watch so you can keep an eye on the time since the boat comes back to get you (at 12:15 p.m.). Hope that helps.
