This boat is great for bachelor parties, birthday parties, corporate events, or just a fun family outing!! I’d 100% go back on it any day! They had the best staff who took people back to the dock whenever they had to leave! It was an awesome experience and I can’t wait to go back!! IF YOU’RE IN CHARLESTON YOU HAVE GOT TO TRY THIS!!!”

Weather- The most important thing is that our guests have a great time. With that in mind, we try to get every charter in. The weather in Charleston changes constantly, a 40% chance of rain could be a 10 min shower and the rest of the day is perfect. We watch the weather constantly and the Captain makes a decision the day of the charter. We may ask you to go a bit earlier or later to avoid rain. We cannot be out in thunder and lightning as a safety issue. With all that said, if we have to cancel due to weather, we will give you a full refund. 

Cancelation- We will refund 100% 30 days prior to your charter date. From 30 days to 1 week prior we will cancel and keep your deposit. Once inside a week we will not refund for anything other than weather. 

Damage- We work very hard to keep all of our vessels in perfect condition. We do not require a damage deposit, as we expect our passengers to not damage our vessels. In the rare case that passengers do permanently damage upholstery, fiberglass, rails, mats, or other fixtures, the person who booked the charter is responsible for the repair cost.
