My family took a 3 hr Charleston harbor tour flying under the flag of “ the 80’s” music vibe. It was fantastic. There was plenty of room to boogie down if you wanted. The captain and first mate were natives and very familiar with the Charleston landmarks. We cruised under the Yorktown which was so cool!
I highly recommend this tour company! Thanks❤️

Thank you to the Sandlapper team for making our Halloween unforgettable! My mom and I were visiting Charleston for a long weekend and came across the Harbor Ghost Tour. It ended up being the highlight of our trip and gave us a new appreciation for Charleston’s rich history!
