A group of friends had a blast taking an exhilarating tour on these two seater speedboats!!! Each speedboat tops out around 30 MPH and handle very well making it very easy to maneuver whether you have boating experience or not. We went by the USS Yorktown, Castle Pinckney, and the Battery and got some nice history on each. It really is amazing to get up close to some of these awesome historical sites around Charleston. After hitting some of the local sites, we had some time to cut loose and drive around the harbor for a bit. Our tour guide was fantastic and gave us a well balanced tour of history, sight seeing, and fun. I would recommend Speedboat Adventures to anyone whether you are a local from Charleston or visiting from out of town. It is great for people of all ages too. I will definitely be doing this again and can't thank everyone at Speedboat Adventures enough for an amazing time out on the water!

I had a ton of fun! Seeing Charleston by water is great, but being the captain of your own speed boat takes the experience to whole new level. Looking forward to doing it again on the Ashley River :)

Speeding through the Harbor and driving the boat yourself was so much fun! Getting up close and personal with the sights was an amazing way to see Charleston! If you're lucky, a cruise ship will be docked as well! We loved every minute of it - and at one point, dolphins even swam by us! One of the coolest (literally) places to be in the hot Charleston summer!
