Travis was incredible and Captain Jeff felt like he was part of the family. it rained on our day but they both made it the best day ever! We will talk about out day with them for years to come. Boat was as showcased. Plenty of room. Super nice and perfect in every way. Super amazing deal and was high class for our bachelorette party of 8

Private Cruises with a Local Professional Captain!
We had a great time with the best captain ever!!! He was accommodating, informative, patient and fun. We got an upgrade on the boat and it was clean, well equipped with fridge and Bluetooth. The guys even got beers. The boat is BEAUTIFUL and comfy. Anytime in Charleston check out a great boating day with Travis. You’ll be in great company. Thank you Captain Travis for a lovely afternoon and for providing the chance to see a gorgeous sunset.

Captain Barney and Captain Rachel are an all star team! We had the absolute best time with them, seeing dolphins, learning the CHS history and cruising the open waters. Truly cannot recommend them and their boat enough! Don’t think, just book! You’ll have the best time!

My family and I had an awesome time on our boat ride in Charleston on Travis's boat. He replied to my request shortly and communicated extremely well. Pick up and drop off were very easy. His captain, Justin, met us at the dock and helped up load and unload our food and drinks. Justin was a great captain. Very knowledgeable and courteous to our situation. The age range in our group was 2-1/2 month to 77 years old and everyone was very comfortable and had a great time. The boat was very clean and obviously well maintained and cared for with lots of fridge and storage space for our food and beverages. It is a very versatile set up. Plenty of space to be out in the sun and out in the open, but also lots of shaded spots to get out of the sun and wind. The cabin was also very comfortable with a clean toilet. We had a great time and couldn't have asked for anything more. This will definitely become a family tradition for us on our annual trips to Charleston!

Captain Barney was absolutely phenomenal! We booked this boat ride as part of a bachelorette trip and he was very accommodating throughout the trip, he thought of EVERYTHING for the ride and more. He was full of historical facts of the places we either stopped at or went by on the boat, which was perfect for our history loving bride. Captain Barney was a gentleman and we will definitely book with him again when we are back in town! THANK YOU CAPTAIN BARNEY!
