Sea Hunt 22.5ft center console
Patrick truly went above & beyond to make our trip absolutely amazing. He was so personable with my entire family, and we can't wait to book our next cruise with him. The best way to see Charleston is on the water with this fantastic Captain 👏 🙌

Super Clean/Like New 2018 21ft Sea Hunt-211 Escape
Bubba is a great guy to rent from. He was super accommodating with both arrival a departure. If you are taking the boat out with family or friends, then you definitely want a dual console like this with Bimini cover….or else you will fry in the Charleston sun. I will definitely rent from Bubba in the future.

Charleston's Hottest Bachelorette Cruise – Book now for the best dates!
Tracy, we were all so ecstatic for our boat day during this bachelorette trip, and needless to say our expectations were far exceeded with Captain Robbie! We had a blast, got to cruise for a while, and docked at a beach for a bit. Captain Robbie took us by the aquarium to see the stingrays, under / by the bridge for photo ops, and more. Thank you so much for everything.

Patrick was a great captain and host on a very beautiful boat. It was equipped with everything we need for our party. He knew the waters very well and took us to some awesome spots. We will be back again soon and we will definitely book with Patrick. I highly recommend booking with him.

Enjoy the Ultimate Party Yacht in Charleston, South Carolina!
Our trip on the Southern Wonder was so great! We were in Charleston for my bachelorette and all of the girls kept talking about how it was their favorite part of the trip. We loved it so much we wanted to extend our time haha. If you’re thinking about booking with them, it’s a must!! Also recommend booking the most time you can, we did not want to get off!
