    I’ve lived here over 10 years. This is the best tour I’ve been on. Between Victor and Captain Mike, The enthusiasm, sights shown and described were just right. They’ve took us out to places I’ve not seen on other tours before and pointed out a few things that were interesting to know about. I don’t like the large overcrowded boats on some tours, and this was just right at 41 maximum including crew. We had around 25 folks on our tour. Our family of four had a nice time, a couple drinks and some great pictures on board. One thing they did not have which I appreciated was no photographer doing the mandatory boarding shot. Victor did offer to take a shot of your group If you wanted it, with your camera, which was nice. They had a nice comfortable mix of music on board, with no songs about sinking ships. We’ll definitely be back. Please tell your local friends.

    You will absolutely love this harbor cruise!! The crew of 2, Admiral Mike, and first mate Dallas, who doubled as ticket taker, info director and do everything but drive the boat, were kind, funny, informative and totally entertaining deserve 10 stars!!! If you go on this cruise, you will come back and tell friends how great this trip was. Thank you for excellent time, and no, I’m not related to either of them, haha. Book the cruise now!!!!

    Captain Mike is really funny and the tour is lighthearted fun! The boat goes all over the Harbor with a fun playlist and unique stories about Charleston that include the local “tea” haha. He took everyone’s photo at sunset and made it really special. There were lots of dolphin sightings too! We had a great time and highly recommend!
