You offered it all and helped me have the best day of my life. It started with your cruise and ended with a proposal on othe waterfront. Thank you so much.

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.

Awesome harbor tour - it was so relaxing, we could sit back enjoy the beauty of the harbor while listening to a captain with great information given in a clear pleasant voice. No improvement needed you know how to do this one with style. Will tell everyone to take this tour.

Too crowded

The boat was far too crowded. Once you got a seat you really had to stay in your seat. Unfortunately we ended up in the back of the boat (I know there's a nautical term but I'm a land lubber) and the smell of the fuel was quite awful. The information provided by the guide was excellent and in just the right amount of detail (not too much, not too little). The guide was able to be heard and he spoke very well.

A great overview of Charleston history

This was one of the first activities we did after arriving. An excellent way to learn about the history of Charleston. The boat captain, while a little cheesy at times, was also poking fun at himself, but he gave some good tips as well as history. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

The harbor tour was ok; a bit too long, especially for the children. The narrator did not have a loud, clear voice, and we missed some of the narration. He seemed to be ahead of the boat......by the time we passed what he described, we had forgotten what it was. However, the boat was air-conditioned, which was very good, and there was room to move around. I think as a rapid tour it was pretty good, and did give some history of Charleston. More adult oriented than for kids, but not a bad way to get an overview of the city.
