A Message from Chris Crolley

Dear Friends,

The Coastal Expeditions Family has been grappling with the new normal as we move through the Covid-19 crisis.  On March 17th we voluntarily closed our doors in an effort to support our community and to understand what it means to protect our staff and you, our clients.  

Since our closing date, we have seen very little change in the DHEC reporting of the ongoing pandemic data.  

In that time we have, however, learned what it means to provide service responsibly and follow best practices of social distancing, sanitizing and wearing protective gear.  

This weekend on Saturday, May 9th Coastal Expeditions will re-open on Shem Creek for the weekend. This will be a “soft” re-opening offering no-touch service for rental clients by reservation only.  

At our Shem Creek campus we have installed hand washing stations and and a flow process to insure ample space for folks to be socially responsible.  

All Coastal Expeditions staff will be wearing gloves and face coverings in an effort to provide maximum protection and to demonstrate best practices for our community. Out of respect for our staff and community, we expect our customers to wear face coverings while on our campus.  If you do not have a face covering we will have them for sale at cost on location.  Of course, once you’re on the water, you can put them away and enjoy your Shem Creek paddle.

Note: We do not enjoy wearing a face covering any more than you do.  However, it is what we are going to do, period.  If you are not willing to wear a face covering for the short time that you are on our campus, do not make a reservation at this time.  We’ll see you at a later date!

In time we hope to progress into opening more fully and begin to offer the Bulls Island Ferry, guided kayak tours and power boat charters for families and small groups.  This all depends on how well we are able to responsibly interact, and more importantly what the scientific data yields as we move through this unprecedented time.  

We will also be watching state, federal and scientific guide lines closely.  In the event that conditions change and we need to reassess our current plan we will let you know

Looking forward,

Chris Crolley
Owner, Coastal Expeditions
