Get Off the beaten path and onto the water!

Looking for a laidback, affordable way to experience Charleston from the water? Step aboard Captain Cocktail Cruises for a relaxing 1.5-hour afternoon cruise through the Charleston Harbor. Your 35-foot party pontoon departs from Shem Creek—right near some of the area’s best waterfront restaurants—and cruises past iconic sights like:

Fort Sumter

Ravenel Bridge

Charleston Peninsula

USS Yorktown

This is the perfect mid-day activity for families, couples, and groups looking to see the city from a unique perspective. Keep your eyes peeled for playful dolphins—your captain will stop for photos if we spot them!

Bring your favorite snacks and drinks (yes, it's BYOB!), kick back to boat-friendly tunes, and enjoy a peaceful ride through one of the most picturesque parts of the Lowcountry.
