5.00Captain Mark and his wife were extremely friendly! My Husband and I enjoyed this. A little disappointed that we didn't have a sunset but it was still a beautiful cruise. Ill definitely do this again

5.00Sunshine and Hunt were so much fun and absolutely made this trip a highlight for our group. We've done many, many Charleston cruises on boats of all sizes, but our entire group (ages 18 - 80) agreed this one was the most fun. We will absolutely repeat this experience!
Great crew, great view!

5.00It’s a relaxing boat ride through the harbor with a great view of the sunset. They offer bottled water and it has a restroom on the boat. The driver was very friendly and made everyone feel relaxed to enjoy the ride.
