  Booked this sunset cruise the day after our wedding so the family we had in town could actually experience Charleston the right way — on the water with a drink in your hand pretending you own one of the mansions on the battery. Captain Mike and Kate were awesome from the second we left the dock. Mike had the music dialed in immediately. Not the usual cheesy beach bar playlist either. Dude had legit good taste and set the mood perfectly right outta the gate. Drinks were great, weather was perfect, and the harbor was showing off. We cruised past the USS Yorktown, saw dolphins swimming around like they were part of the tour package, and Mike actually knew the history of the area which made the whole thing way more interesting. You could tell he genuinely enjoys doing this. And the sunset… good lord. Looked like a giant fireball dropping into the water right at us. One of those sunsets where the whole boat kinda goes quiet for a minute because it doesn’t even look real. Cruising back into the dock was smooth and peaceful mostly because there was some insanely over-the-top rich people wedding happening at the marina, so unfortunately we were unable to crash directly into it. Probably for the best. Although hearing “sorry about your ice sculpture” would’ve made for a legendary ending to the night. As a local, I already love this city, but getting out on the water with family after our wedding and having people like Mike and Kate running the trip made it feel special. Easy 5 stars.

  Amazing trip! saw dolphins which was on my bucket list to do. Totally recommend to anyone! Both of them were so much fun, made jokes, told history & played music. 🩵

  Unfortunately, the Charleston airshow was rained out, but they refunded the tickets for the boat even though it was totally out of their control. Great leadership and great captain!!

  This was an incredibly interesting and humorous tour. Mike was hilarious and Kai was awesome. We would give 5 stars if we had been looking for a booze cruise kind of tour, I wish it was written so that we understood that this was more humor and loud music, we had been hoping for a romantic harbor cruise. Just know that this is awesome, fun, and Mike is so knowledgeable. It’s incredibly entertaining and these two are great. We saw a pile of dolphins and went under the huge bridge. We also were able to see the military carrier up close.
