5.00We took the water taxi from near the Aquarium over to Patriots Point. The best way to arrive at the USS Yorktown. Friendly staff with great views of the harbour

5.00$17 for an all day pass was a great buy. We saw dolphins. The captain and his mate were friendly and experienced. It was easy to see that safety was of the utmost importance. I will do this anytime I visit Charleston.
Great Way to get into Charleston

5.00it was a great experience. the captain and first mate were very personable and we had a great time ! I would highly recommend it. We got on the water tax and just stayed on and floated around. We just wanted to be on the water for the day.

5.00It was absolutely awesome and the staff are awesome as well. We couldn’t have asked for a better time and ride! We rode the taxi several times with the all day pass. It was well worth it.
Really pleasant trip

5.00Crew was friendly, efficient, and did an excellent job. They were able to get us in an area they thought we might have a dolphin sighting and we did- very cool. We had a different crew on our return trip and they were equally great. They were so knowledgeable about the waterfront area and were able to answer all our questions.
