Sumter side trip
Great trip! I have wanted to see Fort Sumter for some time. Boat was clean and on time. I disagree with some of the other reviews which were critical saying trip was too short. I thought the length was fine. It is a very small fort and didn’t take long to see everything.

Great Historical experience
Very informative and you will learn something you did not know. I highly recommend doing this, especially if you are a history buff. I have our only 4 stars as we only had 1 hour to explore and we did not get to read all of the info and had to rush through the museum.
