  • Great sunset cruise in Charleston

    Perfect combination of relaxing, site seeing and education. Captain Mike and Victor were very entertaining. Drinks are available for purchase. Our cruise was only half full so captain Mike could take us in closer to the aircraft carrier. Victor took photos of each couple with the sunset in the background. They turned out great. 😊

  • Enough with the Tips

    Mike and Victor were nice enough guys and the ride was ok, but they made it quite clear they expected a tip. They said it numerous times and were emphatic about it, to the point it was offensive. Even upon departing the boat they stuck the tip jar in your face, being quite insistent about it. Honestly, it came off as rude.

  • A must for sunset lovers
