Shark Teeth Hunting to Drum Island

5.00Captain Dustin took us out on the Kismet for a quick harbor tour before going to Drum Island to search for Sharks Teeth. This was a great experience and he joined us. We found almost 100 teeth plus fossils. Dustin was great company and true pleasure to boat with. This is a great, low pressure fun time for any type of party (families or couples).
Great day on the water!

5.00Captain Dustin and this boat charter was amazing! The company was super responsive with any questions we had leading up to the charter. Booking and payment was simply and clear. Once we arrived at the marina, Captain Dustin met us and went over all the information we would need. The boat had everything we needed for a great day on the water. We got to site see and learn all sorts of information. Next we got to go to beach and look for shells and shark teeth. Then we relaxed in the water hammock with some drinks. Captain Dustin went above and beyond to make our time fun and relaxing! So friendly! I would highly recommend Charleston Sailing Charters!
Captain Scott is the best. Take your friends on this charter!

5.00Such an incredible opportunity to cruise the harbor and explore Charleston from the water. Captain Dustin was an incredible guide, and this was the best part of our girls trip! We were able to bring our own drinks and snacks and spent time on a secluded beach where we could swim and look for fossils.
Great boat experience
