Charleston Harbor Tours

We did the Blues and BBQ sunset cruise on May 23rd. We had rescheduled from 2 weeks earlier with no problems. Staff was very nice on phone and on the boat. Weather was great and the band was good but we sat on upper deck and just listened to jazz over speakers. Bar was staffed with 3 people and non alcoholic drinks were at no charge. Food was good, pork, chicken, mac and cheese, beans, slaw and desert. Sunset was gorgeous over Charleston then we circled Cooper river and back to Port. Approx 2 hours total. Nice night out.

It was an awesome sail on the Schooner Pride! The weather was perfect, we saw dolphins, my boys got to help raise the sails! Captain Dan did an amazing job navigating the waters while the others made sure we all had refreshments and answered questions! Highly recommend this cruise to see Charleston from the water!

Great informative tour of the harbor and town. So much history to cover and it was done in such a fun and interesting formate!! We did the combo tour and enjoyed both the sunset cruise and carriage tour of Charleston!!

Scenic views. Sunset was gorgeous for photos. Get there 30 minutes early at least if you want a seat and a photo by the crew

This was such an amazing experience!! I highly recommend doing this during your visit!! The staff were all very friendly and nice. The refreshments were at a reasonable price. We paid $40.00 a ticket per person and the tour was an hour and thirty minutes. Definitely worth it!! 🙂

Enjoyed the harbor cruise tour. Very informative cruise. The day was beautiful and breezy. Made it nice.

Captain Connor was great! A wealth of knowledge as well as fun and interactive! Keep those eyes open and looking all around to spot those dolphins!!!

The tour was really nice. It was a good vibe, good energy, and a good value for the price. I would recommend the sunset cruise for families and individuals who need a good 90-minute outing. Added benefit, the staff is very accommodating to patrons who have mobility issues and need assistance boarding and exiting the boat.

This was our first major thing in Charleston, and I'm glad we started here! The tour provided a great overview of the harbor and it's history. We saw great views of significant locations including Waterfront Park, the Battery, Fort Sumter, the USS Yorktown, and the Revenel Bridge.

We did the Fort Sumter Tour a couple of days later. I didn't think about spending time going out into the harbor twice, so I thought maybe we could have skipped this tour. Very glad we did both! The Fort Sumter ferry ride does not include much narration, so highly recommend Charleston Harbor Tours!

Was a great experience, very knowledgeable of the Harbor with some humor threw in with narration.

My husband and I took a wonderful harbor cruise. The captain was fun and entertaining. We saw so many historic sights, and beautiful homes, on this tour. It was a beautiful, sunny day and we had a refreshing breeze. This is a must do tour if you’re visiting Charleston.

Love the live commentary! Recommend doing the sunset one since it's not as hot, you get to see the views too.

This is my second time booking with Charleston Harbor Tours - Carolina Belle. I always leave happy and relaxed. If you’re lucky, sit at the front of the boat to see the dolphins ☺ I’ve done both the day time and sunset tours, both were great and saw dolphins both times. Hopefully you get to see them too!

Excellent tour. We were on the Carolina Belle. Captain was great and shared much history along with personal tips of places to eat and visit. We ate at one of the places and it was fabulous -- the food and the views.

Really enjoyed the harbor tour. Dolphins were around us from time to time. A shrimp boat was returning to port which was cool to see.

Highly recommend.

We did a daytime harbor tour on the Carolina Belle. Captain David and the crew provided a wonderful tour experience. It was a nice way to see the surrounding area, learn a bit more about the local history, and enjoy a pleasant boat ride. Was also really cool to see dolphins and other wildlife.

Great trip to Sullivan’s Island, Fort Moultrie, Fort Sumter, and under the bridge and back. Restrooms and bar and snacks on board. Saw dolphins in front of a cargo ship. Great trip!

This is the second time we have joined Charleston Harbor Tours, and this is one of our favorite things to do in the city.

Booking is easy, quick, and efficient online with great instructions. We were able to book day off with ease.

I highly recommended doing the harbor tour. It’s a great leisurely activity to break up your busy day in the city. You get to see the harbor and all the great historical landmarks as well as some of the Forts.

Not to mention we got to be on the Carolina Belle! It was a cool “sight to see” for all the OBX fans!

We had a great time on the 90 minute boat ride. The weather was perfect. We took lots of photos. We learnt of the history of the harbor. Great time to enjoy a wonderful afternoon on the water and taking in the history and favor of the scenes and sounds that come from it We enjoyed it!

Had a great time. Chris who we met at the ticket stand was very informative and super friendly and really started the trip on a high note. We had good laughs with him.

Such a fun experience! The crew were kind, Captain JP was a thorough, professional, and great tour guide with a great sense of humor, and the views were beautiful. Definitely enjoyed learning more about the history of Charleston and being on the water. Highly recommend!
