Ultimate Private Party Boat; 35ft w/Swim Mat; Shem Creek to Charleston Harbor
We had such an amazing day with Captains Mark and Christian! In addition to keeping us safe, they made sure we had fun - they gave us full control of the music, kept our beers filled, and just added really good energy to our group. I can't thank them or recommend them enough!

Private Captained Charter in Charleston!
We had an amazing time on our boat trip! The boat itself is beautiful and well-maintained, and we loved the mix of the outdoor and indoor spaces. We had a group of 14 and there was plenty of space for us to spread out. Nick and Adam were so nice and welcoming and truly took care of everything for us while we were on the water! Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking again on our next trip!!

Captain Gabriel was great. We booked this boat ride for our friend's bachelorette trip, and it was so much fun. He was so accommodating and really made our experience more fun. It was probably our favorite part of the trip. Highly recommend!!

Enjoy the Ultimate Party Yacht in Charleston, South Carolina!
Would highly recommend booking a trip with Mike! Our group had an incredible evening cruising around the harbor and intercostal areas. Mike went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and helped us set up our beverages, snacks, etc. This was definitely a highlight of our trip!
