This historic fortress sits proudly in the harbor, offering a glimpse into America’s past. Whether you’re a history buff or simply enjoying the ride, seeing Fort Sumter from the water is a powerful reminder of Charleston’s historical significance.

This was a perfect low key sunset cruise. Good selection of drinks on board. I emailed them a few weeks ahead of time to tell them I was going to propose to my boyfriend and they gave great suggestions of approximately when to do it during the cruise and they provided complimentary prosecco afterwards.

We had a great time cruising on the catamaran. We sat towards the front on the deck seats. Made for some fun times getting up and down. lol. Definitely bring a sweatshirt or jacket. The temp really drop once the sun starts to set. They do have blankets if you get cold. The crew is super friendly, and the whole vibe is a party.
