Sunset cruise

Nice ride, good view. It did start storming so they cut it shorter and returned to the marina

Great experience!

We had a wonderful time. The sunset was beautiful and the captain and first mate were excellent. We really enjoyed seeing the views of the harbor and relaxing on the water.

We had a wonderful time and caught a glimpse at a couple of dolphins would definitely recommend to take Dramamine before if you have a sensitive stomach or virtego.

We had so much fun on...

We had so much fun on this boat trip! The captain was great, he played music and allowed everyone to walk around and have fun. It is listed as a sunset cruise with dolphin spotting, however dolphins were never mentioned nor spotted. Perhaps it should just be posted as a sunset cruise.

Sunshine

Hopefully you will be lucky and get Sunshine as your guide. He was awesome. Also be sure to bring your own drinks we forgot ours but won't next time.

Highly recommended

Our group had an amazing time. We thought we booked the other cruise (that was PACKED) and was pleasantly surprised to find we were on this boat. Seating was perfect. Music was pleasant. Mark and Brian were amazing hosts. The cruise itself was the perfect start of a beautiful weekend with friends. We definitely recommend THIS boat and wish them a thriving business ❤️

Sunset cruise in CHS

We had an amazing time with Captain Cocktails Cruises. Capt Sunshine and our First mate provided a great tour of the area and made our evening very enjoyable. A great way to see Charleston from the water and have some fun as well. Highly recommended to sail with Captain Cocktails!! Thanks for a great trip
