We just moved to Charleston and got a boat trip from our realtor as a closing gift. This was such a cool experience getting to see the area right around our new neighborhood Poplar Grove. Thank you Chris, we will spread the word!

What a great excursion! Captain Chris is a great guide and an awesome person. He made sure everyone in the group was safe and comfortable. He is also very knowledgeable about the marsh/wetlands… would not hesitate to book with him again when we are back in SC
This trip was the highlight of my family’s trip to Charleston. The only way to experience the low country is to get out of the city and get on a boat. Captain Chris is a wealth of local knowledge, and great fun for the whole family. Book a trip and see for yourself!
Amazing time. Captain and boat were top notch. Wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.
Best day ever! My family and I follow Chris wherever he calls home. We have been out with Chris multiple times in the Virgin Islands and each time he shows us something new and fun. This time in the low country we saw sooo many cool birds and an alligator! We will definitely be back!
A beautiful peaceful sunset ride with my wife . Captain Chris had all the answers about local wildlife and the marsh. Plus his taste in music was off the charts great !! 10/ 10 would definitely go again.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you and your wife enjoyed the sunset and had a peaceful evening on the water. And I’m happy the music passed the test! 😂 It was a pleasure having you both aboard, and I really appreciate the 10/10. Hope to see you again soon!
Chris is an excellent captain. Personable, knowledgeable, and funny. Saw some incredibly beautiful scenery and learned a great deal about Charlestons ecology and history. I highly recommend taking this tour even if you are a native.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the scenery and learned a few new things about the Lowcountry. It's especially great to hear that from a local—there's always something new to discover out on the water! I really appreciate the recommendation and hope to have you back aboard again soon.
Capt Chris showed our family such a great time on our sunset cruise! His knowledge of the local rivers and wildlife will astound you! He's friendly, funny, and entertaining. I can assure you that you'll come away knowing so much more than you did before you stepped on the boat. The boat is a large stable platform with plenty of seating for everyone. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and are looking forward to an oyster picking trip in the near future! Don't forget your camera! I highly recommend!
Thank you so much for the great review! I'm really glad you and your family enjoyed the sunset cruise and had a good time learning about the rivers and wildlife. It was a pleasure having you all aboard, and I'm looking forward to getting you out for that oyster picking trip! And yes, definitely bring the cameras!
