Charleston Harbor Tours

A relaxing afternoon tour with a refreshing breeze on a hot June afternoon! The Captain was thoroughly entertaining, the sights and narration were enjoyable (and educational), and the diving pelicans and racing dolphins kept us amused. Ninety minutes of beautiful Charleston Harbor was the perfect ending to a perfect day! We'll be back!

The BBQ was the best I have ever had. I live in the BBQ capital of the world (Lexington, NC) and this BBQ was great. The music was also very good. It was a good event even though a major thunder storm occured while on our cruise. Highly recommend to all.

The tour was very informative and entertaining.

The boat captain gave alot of information about Charleston in an interesting way. There was plenty of seating inside, but the a/c was working hard to semi-cool the room downstairs as it was very hot that day.

We really enjoyed the our with its combination of history and sightseeing. We learned insteresting factoids about Charleston.

A good way to see the harbor.

The Capt of the tour was outstanding and very nice guide.

While the captain and crew were great, your seating options whether inside or outside where both hot and uncomfortable, we saw 1 dolphin for possible 10 seconds or less there was no stop at fort sumpter just quickly sailing by. The saving grace was the captain and crew they where relatively entertaining, and where a pleasure to be around.

The tour of the harbor is as fine a venture of this type as one could ask for. The narrative by the captain was well written and delivered, and the trivia questions actively engaged young and old alike. When the temperature is nearly 100 degrees as it was when we took the tour, survival on the upper decks without shelter is indeed uncomfortable. Inside and under shelter was quite adaquate for the occasion.

Good narration but very hot day; we were stuck downstairs, hard to see what the pilot was talking about. Boat did not get close enough to things, in my opinion.

a must do even if you live in charleston as we do, so refreshing, clean, you learn so much from the tour about our history and if your not so much into that ,the views and water are just breathtaking~~there is plenty of room and you are welcome to go from the front to back an even the air condition lower deck ~~~ there is a snack area right in the middle serving hamburgers hotdogs ect... and cocktails all except sunday~~also restrooms!! i was happy about that~~the dolphins are beautiful,other boats, you just have to to take this tour~~ my husband and i went with our 18 yr old son and he loved it, i think he sampled the entire menu lol~~seriously, this is like a mini cruise, do something for yourself and go let the world do its thing while you relax for an hour or so, it is so easy to board, and you will not regret it, and also, the captain an all its crew shake your hand and you can talk to them at any time, i love them and miss them already~~~thank you bell, and all of your crew!! love ya

My Family of four greatly enjoyed both the Harbor Tour and the Carriage Ride. As it was a very hot day, we chose to sit on the lower deck of the tour boat, which was enclosed though still provided a great view of the narrated sites. It was only a short drive to the carriage ride and their employees were all nice and our guide was very knowledgeable. Our carriage went in areas where there was a substantial amount of shady trees so we never got overheated. I would recommend either or both tours enthusiastically.

We had our netbook with us and it was very comfortable buying tickets online. Fast and easy... even though it would have been possible at the Harbour Front.. But anyway , we had a great tme on the boat and received so much information about Charleston and the harbour area... thanks to the crew...and Captain Dave..

Both the harbor and buggy tours were relaxing and easy paced. We had only a day to tour Charleston and found both tours accommodated as much as possible.

Got a better understanding of the role Charleston played in the history of our country.
