Description
Everyone loves the Kismet for its style, comfort and ability to hold large groups of 20 passengers, we also include rafts and water hammocks at no extra charge. We cruise the harbor, discuss historic areas if you want or drop anchor off a deserted island to swim and lounge in the floats. The water in the summer gets up to 87 degrees and perfect for swimming. Families love the kismet as its safe for children and very comfortable for the entire family. All charters are BYOB and we have coolers with ice, bottle water and soft drinks included. There is also a nice and clean bathroom onboard. We strive to provide the best experience possible with excellent customer service and the best boating experience in Charleston. Each charter has a professional master captain and a first mate to drive the boat and also help serve you and make your trip perfect every time. Standard trips are 2 hours but can be as long as 4 hours. If the morning time is booked please ask us about the other times.

Fun boat ride with great people
Shout out to Quint and Hailey for making our morning on the water amazing!! So much fun on the Kismet for our friends bachelorette party.
A
Bachelorette Party Highlight!!
We had a great time with Quent and Haley on the Kismet! Was truly one of the highlights of our trip. They were knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. The instructions they gave were clear on where to meet and the owner was flexible with some scheduling mishaps. We loved our swim time floating on the floaties they had for us (and catching the refill drinks they threw us!) and jamming out to our music on the boat. Quent also makes a fire dirty martini & has some fun stories if you're a Bravo fan. Haley was awesome and so helpful. I would definitely recommend!!!

Fun excursion with the best crew!!
Loved sailing with Captain Scott and First Mate, Madi on the morning Kismet tour! The boat was beautiful, the trip was so fun and everything was great. We had a group of 12 girls and they had everything we needed - and were so kind! I would recommend to anyone looking for a fun and beautiful adventure!!! Ps-they even slowed down so we could see the dolphin near the harbor - beyond accommodating!

Bachelorette Boat Tour!
We had the best time on my bachelorette morning boat ride! The captains (quent and nick) were friendly and informative! We were able to play our own music, BYOB, and swim! They put out a lounge Lilly pad for those who wanted to swim. Would highly recommend for anyone in the Charleston area!
