If your main goal is just to relax, both can work, but they give you a different kind of relaxing depending on what you are in the mood for. The beach on Hilton Head is probably the simplest option because you can completely set your own pace. You can show up, sit under an umbrella, walk the shoreline, take a nap, or jump in the water whenever you feel like it. There is no schedule at all, and that freedom is what makes it feel so easy for a lot of people. A boat tour is more structured, but it is still very relaxing in a different way. Once you are on the water, you do not have to think about anything. You are just sitting back while someone else handles everything, and you get constant movement, fresh air, and a really nice view of the marsh and coastline. Dolphin cruises in particular are good for this because the pace is slow and calm, and you are not expected to do anything except enjoy the ride.
