Activity Description
Join us on a peaceful cruise along the Charleston Harbor as we bring Charleston's rich and vivid past alive!

Climb aboard the Palmetto, our 45ft catamaran, versatile enough to handle the harbor's waters smoothly. With a capacity of only 49 passengers, everyone will experience a personalized atmosphere.

This one-of-a-kind history tour spans the historical inception of Charleston and its harbor to present-day times and events. Each cruise is narrated by a knowledgeable, local historian who will tell you all about:

  • American Revolutionary War and Civil War battles
  • Fort Sumter: where the Confederate Artillery opened fire to mark the beginning of the Civil War
  • Fort Moultrie: forced the retreat of nine warships saving Charleston from British occupation
  • Hunley: a sunken Civil War submarine rescued from the floor of the Harbor in 2000
  • Pirate tales, shipwrecks, the Plantation era, and much more!
You’ll see a variety of forts, historically significant buildings, landmarks, and churches along the way, so bring your camera! Each tour may include different facts based on the tour's route and sites seen along the way.

Get a taste of Southern charm as you explore Charleston's rich heritage and colorful maritime history!
