Don't Book Through Trip Advisor/Viator - Love ferry service but Warning! Do not book your ferry trip through TRIP ADVISOR/VIATOR. I canceled our ride in advance per their rules but was still charged. I've now been told I will get my refund; however, I've had to make multiple calls to get this resolved!

See the waterfront - The ferry was on time and impressively clean. It's nice to see Charleston from the waterfront especially at night. Great music added to the fun! We would book this again.

Amazing! - It was a really nice experience! I went with my family while in Charleston visiting from Georgia. We arrived at Daniel island around 7:00pm and got some ice cream, walked around, took pictures, & stayed at the park for a little bit. The ride back was the nicest, since it was nighttime and the breeze felt so good. My 2 boys like it too. The captain was so sweet too. My niece had fell on the dock and scraped her knee. He gave her bandaids and was really sympathetic! Definitely recommend to anyone. Thanks! :)

Beautiful sunset cruise! - Great evening seeing Charleston by boat, a glass of wine, sea breeze, smooth ride, beautiful sunset, just perfect! Traveling under the Ravenel Bridge and seeing the Yorktown up close was amazing. Crew couldn’t have been more welcoming.

Not as god as it used to be. - It was better Ali’s when they included beer & wine. Now you buy beer & wine = price increase. If going 1 way = ok but not for an evening downtown. Enough time for dinner , drink and ride home to DI. Not for a night in the town. Buy 1-way and Uber home. 1 -way is nice.
