World-Class Waterway Cruise in Charleston, SC

Set Sail on Charleston's Secret Waterways

Y'all ready for a true Charleston experience? Hop aboard our private 3-hour cruise and see the Holy City from a whole new angle. We're talkin' hidden creeks, historic harbors, and views that'll make your Instagram followers green with envy. Whether you're lookin' to chill with a cold drink or learn some local history, we've got you covered. Our captains know these waters like the back of their hand, so sit back and let us show you the Charleston most folks never get to see.

What's in Store

This ain't your average boat ride, folks. We're kickin' things off by cruising under the iconic Ravenel Bridge - trust me, it's even more impressive from down here. Then we're headin' to Shem Creek, the beating heart of Charleston's seafood scene. You'll see shrimp boats comin' in with the day's catch, maybe even spot a dolphin or two if we're lucky. Want to stop for some grub? No problem. Feelin' lazy? We can just float and soak up the sun. It's your cruise, your rules.

Navigating the Lowcountry

Now, don't you worry if you've never set foot on a boat before. Our vessels are top-notch, stable as can be, and we've got all the safety gear you could need. Your captain's gonna give you the lowdown on everything - from how to move around the boat to the best spots for snappin' photos. We'll be cruisin' through some narrow creeks and open harbor, so you'll get a real taste of Lowcountry boating. And if the tide's right, we might even sneak up on some oyster beds - just don't try to grab one, alright?

Local Haunts & Hidden Gems

Listen up, 'cause I'm about to let you in on some local secrets. See that little inlet over there? That's where the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley was recovered. And that marshy area? Prime spot for spotting roseate spoonbills if you come in the right season. We'll pass by some serious multi-million dollar homes, but don't get too jealous - wait 'til you see the sunset from the water. It's the kind of view money can't buy, but we're gonna give it to you anyway.

Wildlife Watch

Now, I can't promise you'll see flippin' dolphins on every trip, but keep your eyes peeled. These waters are teeming with life. We regularly spot Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, especially around Shem Creek where they like to chase the shrimp boats. Pelicans are a dime a dozen 'round here, but it never gets old watching them dive-bomb for fish. And if we're real lucky, we might catch a glimpse of a manatee. These gentle giants sometimes wander up from Florida in the warmer months. Just remember, we're guests in their home, so we'll admire from a respectful distance.

Charleston's Nautical History

Y'all, we're not just out here for the pretty views. Charleston's got a rich maritime history, and we're floatin' right through it. From pirates and privateers to the Civil War and beyond, these waters have seen it all. We'll pass by Fort Sumter, where the first shots of the Civil War rang out. And see that old bridge? It's where the H.L. Hunley became the first submarine to sink an enemy ship. Don't worry, I won't bore you with dates and names unless you're into that. But trust me, once you hear some of these stories, you'll never look at Charleston the same way again.

Customize Your Cruise

Here's the deal - this is your private cruise, so you call the shots. Wanna focus on history? We'll give you the full tour guide treatment. More interested in wildlife? We know the best spots to see birds and maybe even a gator or two. Got kids? We'll keep 'em entertained with fun facts and maybe even let 'em take a turn at the wheel (don't worry, we'll be right there). And if you just want to relax and enjoy the ride, we can do that too. Heck, bring your own playlist and we'll provide the soundtrack to your perfect day on the water.

What to Bring

Alright, let's talk logistics. You're gonna want to bring sunscreen, even if it's cloudy - that Carolina sun is sneaky. A light jacket's not a bad idea, 'cause it can get breezy out on the water. Feel free to pack some snacks and drinks - we've got a cooler on board. And don't forget your camera or phone - you're gonna want to remember this. Oh, and cash for the tip if you're so inclined (wink wink). We'll provide everything else you need for a safe and comfortable ride.

Why Folks Love This Trip

Our guests rave about the personalized experience, the stunning views, and the chance to see Charleston from a whole new perspective.
