Historic Harbor Tour
The one of a kind perspective from cruising the water of Charleston Harbor provides insight into how this historic city developed since its founding in 1670.
"Captain Bryan is a very personable and knowledge guide. He took us to all the historic attraction and gave us engaging overview and was able to answer all of our questions. Not only did we get an understanding of Charleston's history but we got a taste of their culture today. He offered us local refreshments and snacks and even let us catch fresh crabs!
Highly recommend his tour for all ages!"

"Me and my fiance went on the 2 hour tour last Saturday, the trip was awesome to say the least. Captain Bryan provided complimentary drinks while aboard and you learned a lot of the history of the harbor. He was beyond knowledgable and kept us engaged the entire time. The views were amazing so sometimes I got side tracked from the tour lol. We were able to see a ton of native wildlife and the dolphins were so playful and fun to watch! The boat ride was smooth and comfortable, I highly recommend this adventure to anyone!"
