Get Off the beaten path and onto the water!
Looking for a laidback, affordable way to experience Charleston from the water? Step aboard Captain Cocktail Cruises for a relaxing 1.5-hour afternoon cruise through the Charleston Harbor. Your 35-foot custom tour boat departs from Shem Creek—right near some of the area’s best waterfront restaurants—and cruises past iconic sights like:
Fort Sumter
Ravenel Bridge
Charleston Peninsula
USS Yorktown
This is the perfect mid-day activity for families, couples, and groups looking to see the city from a unique perspective. Keep your eyes open for playful dolphins—your captain will stop for photos if we spot them!
Bring your favorite snacks and drinks (yes, it's BYOB!), kick back to boat-friendly tunes, and enjoy a peaceful ride through one of the most picturesque parts of the Lowcountry. We'll provide the coolers, ice, and bottled water.
