What a great treat for the entire family! We took our nieces and nephews out for a tour of the harbor and they couldn't have had more fun. They absolutely loved driving their own boats. We got to go quite fast but felt very safe. Graham and company are super knowledgable about the harbor and its history. I would highly recommend this while visiting Charleston.

I have been exploring Charleston for years now, and this is the most unique, exhilarating experience I have encountered yet. The tour got us closer than we have ever been to the historical attractions that make Charleston famous, including the USS Yorktown, the Thomas Ravenel Bridge, and the battery downtown, etc. The boats were surprisingly easy to handle, even for those inexperienced boaters. It was very exciting to be your own captain, while getting to explore the Charleston Harbor and all of the beauty of the skyline. We even saw some dolphins (!!!) which was one of the many highlights of the adventure. Captain Graham was awesome and we learned so much about the city and it's history.

Good morning, Marissa. I am so thrilled that you enjoyed your tour so much. You did a great job as captain of your boat. You made my life easy as your guide. I hope you have a terrific remainder of your summer and hope to see you again for another Speedboat Adventure sooner than later.

If you are looking for something different and a bit edgy, and a little wet then look no further than Speed Boat Adventures! Brand new boats, excellent guide and really different - not the same old touristy kind of thing. Kids will love this....
