Great boat tour in Charleston. Scott was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the sunset trip really enjoyable. You can tell he really knows the area and definitely knows how to handle a boat. Everything felt smooth and relaxed the entire time. We had a great time and would definitely recommend him.

Celebrating a birthday was made extra special thanks to amazing weather and calm waters and specially Captain Skye. He was very accommodating and kind, taking care of our family and pointing out dolphins as soon as he spotted them! This is a must visit experience. Our parents visiting from India loved the experience too! Thank you Captain Skye 🙏❤️
Went with a bachelorette group of 5, we all had a great time. Beautiful pictures and saw a ton a dolphins swimming right by us. Captain Skye did a great job taking pictures and giving us a lot of information. Would highly recommend
Great sunset cruise with Captain Quent! Perfect balance of tour guide, host, and Captain! Kismet was the perfect boat for the six of us. Thanks for a great trip Captain Quent!
