These are not your average boat rides. These are customized, captain-led adventures designed to help you explore the best of Charleston's waterways while you sit back, sip something cold, and soak it all in.

Harbor Cruise & Sightseeing Tour

Glide through Charleston’s historic harbor as dolphins play nearby and local captains point out must-see sights like Fort Sumter and White Point Gardens. This 32’ dual console ride is as breezy and scenic as it gets.

Bachelor/Bachelorette Cruise

Looking for the ultimate pre-wedding party? Charter a private boat to swim off a secluded island, bar-hop around Shem Creek, or just anchor and float with your crew. Add a Lilypad float to take the fun up a notch!

Beach Day – Anchor & Swim

No beach traffic. No crowds. Just your private crew, the sun, the water, and access to hidden islands only reachable by boat. Bring your drinks, pack your snacks, and spend the day in total relaxation.

Shark Teeth & Shells

Calling all beachcombers and junior paleontologists! Your captain will guide you to secret shelling spots known for washed-up shark teeth and coastal treasures—perfect for families and curious explorers.

Whether you're sticking close to the marshes or heading offshore for snapper and wahoo, your private fishing charter includes all gear, bait, and even fish cleaning. Ask about our catch & cook options!
