So glad we did this!!
This was a A+++++ Charleston harbor cruise trip. It was fascinating to hear Captain Gene share his knowledge of the history of Charleston. His boat was a nice clean boat with plenty of room for our party of six. The money was well worth the trip. If we ever leave Texas again and return to Charleston we definitely would book another trip with him.

Worth it !
Captain Gene is personable, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. Was willing to add or subtract to the itinerary. Felt safe. Very fun!

A fantastic day on the water!
Captain Gene was an amazing guide! Graciously collected me from my hotel and regaled me with his many experiences in Charleston! Immediately out of the slip we encountered dolphins! Water birds everywhere and a very busy harbour! Far larger than I anticipated the varied boat traffic was interesting as well as the helicopters overhead. I felt very welcomed and safe with Captain Gene! I highly recommend taking his tour!!

One of our favorite things from Vacation!
My husband and I went on a 3 hour tour of the Charleston Harbor and surrounding sites. Captain Gene welcomed us aboard his Grady White. There was ample shade and sun to accommodate either preference and the boat was extremely comfortable. On our ride out of the harbor we even saw dolphins! We took a nice ride out past Fort Sumter and Folly Beach. We had great views of the Revel Bridge, Rainbow Row / the Battery and the beautiful town of Charleston. Captain Gene shared lot of fun facts about the history of these sites - this trip is well worth the cost!! One tip, this site is a bit quirky and only allows you to select 1 adult/purchase - you need to purchase all tickets individually for your party. The tour however, is a private tour with just your group.

Charleston in a Day
Gene was very knowledgeable and gave us the best tour experience we’ve ever had! The ride was tailored to our preference and was worth more than we paid. He gave us lots of history about the landmarks and great recommendations for food which we took full advantage of! We would take this tour again! I’ve already recommended it to others. Thanks Gene!

Excellent trip! Great captain. Very personable. I highly recommend. Saw a shark jump all the way out of the water and do a spin. Wish I could have caught it on video or at least a photo
