This tour will give you a good sense of the history of Charleston while you enjoy the beautiful views. There is a good bar with drinks and food on board. The captain does a great job narrating by interjecting some humor while doing an excellent job of describing historical events. Definitely recommend and the walk to and from the launch site is quite nice.

Our captain was knowledgeable and most of all he has a great sense of humor. The staff was pleasant and ready to help in any way. A wonderful trip

We were the only ones on this boat ride under the age of 55. Granted, we did go on the 1:30 pm tour so maybe that was the senior citizen special time. So if you’re looking for a relaxing, chill out 1.5 hour boat ride, this is it! There is a bar on board but it’s just staples. They also serve some concessions (pizza, hot dogs, chips, etc.) Captain Trip was knowledgeable and gave interesting history facts along the way.
