What are people saying about Charleston

We loved our experience!...
We loved our experience! We saw lots of dolphins and even a dolphin eating! There were lots of different birds and even jumping fish. There were cool boats to paddle around which was part of the tour and the ecosystem. Our tour guide Luke was great! He was very informative and entertaining for my husband and I. I would definitely recommend this experience, especially in the afternoon time because of the chance of seeing animals feed and even a possible sunset!

Best Charleston boat tour
I am a local and have taken more than 10 boat tours over the years when we have out of town guests. This tour was far superior. Jodi went out of his way to genuinely connect with every person on the trip and to match his information to people’s interests. Five stars plus more!

We had such a lovely time...
We had such a lovely time sailing around the harbor with Charleston Harbor Sailing! Captain Will was fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience so enjoyable. The boat was beautiful and well-kept, and the views of Charleston from the water were unbeatable. Highly recommend this for both visitors and locals looking for a fun and relaxing way to enjoy the city!

Unforgettable
The captain and his other team member were full of energy, knowledge, humor, and enthusiasm! My parents and I had a most enjoyable experience, we were able to get sunset pictures from the captain which was very special. If you want a fun, unforgettable experience go ahead and book a tour!

Tailored, comfortable and informative!
Glad we chose this Private Tour vs group options. When a tour starts with “What are you most interested in seeing?” the experience immediately climbs in value and enjoyment! We were on The Citadel campus to start and then immersed in the history, architecture and culture of the entire city, region and South! A half day well spent from the rear seat of an expertly driven and comfortable crossover type SUV with cordial and deeply knowledgeable guide!

Sunset Cruise
Friendly Captain (Holly) and Crew (Jules). Good communication before and during the sail. Holly took safety seriously including watching a potential storm in the distance and adjusting course for it. Jules took care of us by serving us and checking to see if we needed anything which allowed us to sit, relax and enjoy the cruise.
We enjoyed being on the water, seeing all the other ships, the smooth sailing and seeing dolphins. I would definitely recommend this as a special thing to do while in Charleston.

Pirate Fun!
We had a wonderful time! The “Pirates” were in character the entire voyage. They all played their role continuously throughout the trip and the kids and adults were entertained the whole time. I especially loved the water cannons and squirt guns! The best part was that they involved every child on the boat so they all felt included. I highly recommend this experience!

Water taxi is a must if you’re in the Charles area
The tour was wonderful and you don’t necessarily have to get off at each stop. The water taxi is a great experience for young children and adults . My husband and I really enjoyed the ride and we were able to see dolphins. The price is extremely reasonable and you can ride all day.

Comfy bus. Delightfully...
Comfy bus. Delightfully talkative guide, as a guide should be. We enjoyed seeing places that we had missed on other tours...Guide/driver also very considerate of my husband who has mobility challenges, and drove bus up the ranks so he didn't have to walk as far.

Worth It!
For the majority of us that will never have 'yachting' as a usual part of our lives, this treat is well worth it!! Will and Sam welcomed us, were incredibly attentive to us and answered all of our touristy questions with incredible patience! What good guys - just as anyone would expect from Eagle Scouts!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Charleston cruises provide a delightful new way to explore the Lowcountry landscape and see the Holy City skyline. Luckily, there’s no shortage of options for getting out on the water. You might dig into local history on a narrated ferry ride, sail alongside dolphins at sunset, or charter a private catamaran with friends. Remember that some destinations, such as Fort Sumter National Monument, can only be accessed by boat. For other attractions, like the Morris Island Lighthouse, visiting by water just feels right.
