We enjoyed our very laid back sunset cruise. The staff was very informative. The bartender was also very helpful and friendly.

Great! The crew helped me as I am disabled. The guide was good too! Good information, I learned things I didn't know. I was great seeing Charleston from the water. I would recommend this tour to anyone coming to Charleston

As a descendent of Robert E. Lee, I feel compelled to try and see every battlefield and every fort. It’s really awesome learning about the history of our nation. It’s really important to me to know the details which lead to the war of Northern Aggression l.
