Private harbor tours
Forget the crowded tour boat
Every harbor tour is a private charter with a knowledgeable captain aboard one of three luxury vessels, built around what your group actually wants to see.
Dolphin watching
There is nothing like watching one breach the surface
The captain knows where the pods feed on the tide, and idles the boat close enough for a real look without crowding the water. A relaxed, low speed cruise that works well for kids and grandparents alike.
- Two hour private cruise
- Slow, wildlife friendly pace
- Good for all ages
Sunset harbor tours
A Charleston sunset is worth the whole trip
A relaxing, unique dining experience: anchor off the Battery as the sky goes orange, with a charcuterie platter and a bottle of wine or prosecco already chilling on ice aboard High Tide.
- 2 hour minimum charter
- Charcuterie and wine included
- Up to 6 guests on High Tide
Historical harbor tours
See where the first shots of the Civil War were fired
If you are a history buff, this is the one. The route runs past the Historic Charleston Battery, Fort Sumter, the Yorktown and Sullivan's Island, narrated by a captain who has sailed this harbor for decades.
- Fort Sumter and the Battery
- The Yorktown and Sullivan's Island
- Narrated by Captain Dan
Memorial ash scattering
A quiet, respectful way to say goodbye on the water
Captain Dan arranges private ash scattering charters away from the main channel, at a pace and a place your family chooses. Call to talk through the details and the route in advance.
- Private charter, no other guests
- Route and timing set with your family
- Handled with care by an experienced crew
