Always a hit with out of town company

Everyone I've ever taken on the harbor tour has loved it. I always recommend it to anyone staying with me, or visiting from out of town. There's nothing like seeing Charleston from the water. Cruising past the U.S.S. Yorktown and beneath the new bridge never gets old, even for a local.

I enjoyed this history laden tour of the harbor narrated live by a captain with a fun sense of humor. It made the tour educational as well as interesting and very enjoyable.

Harbor tour of Charleston should not be missed

Despite the chilly day, the tour and our guide delivered! I have been reading novels of the Lowcountry area and the captain's information solidified a lot of what I have been reading. It was good to finally see the local areas and attractions up close. Ashely River, Cooper River, Fort Sumter, Sullivan's Island, just to name a few. The 90 minute cruise went quickly. Even the dolphins made a show! If you have not yet been on a Harbor Tour, put it on the top of your list.

Inadequate seating

I enjoyed the tour ,however I was VERY disappointed in the seating. When the 3 of us boarded there were no seats left on the upper deck. We could not see adequately on the lower deck. We ended up standing the entire time....as did many others....some of which were elderly. You should only sell enough tickets for the amount of seating you have on the upper deck....or at least when those seats are gone let the consumer know that the only seats left are inside on a lower level. My son and his wife live in Charleston and have a lot of visitors. This could have been a nice tour to take others on....very disappointed!

Most Relaxing

This was a great tour of the harbor. The captain of the boat was very knowledgeable about the points of interest and the overall history of Charleston. He was also quite funny and entertaining. The trivia questions were great for the older kids and all the adults. The mates of the boat were very pleasant. I took my 2 year old grand daughter and she absolutely loved seeing the birds, though we were not able to see dolphins on this tour. We will definitely be trying the other tours offered, such as the Sunset Tour. We did our tour on the first weekend of October and expected it to be a little colder on the water but it was perfect however, I would suggest using sunscreen unless you sit in the climate controlled/covered areas.

My husband and two grown children - they thanked me for booking this! It was great - a relaxing tour of the sights from a different perspective. We loved going around the fort - and under the Cooper bridge was fantastic. We saw dolphins a few times - and the captain was very informative and friendly - loved his pink sneakers! Drinks were available at the bar - not expensive - a great tour - we have already recommended it to friends for next weekend.
