Great Date Night - Best way yo travel downtown! Dallas (our Captain) and Randi (our First Mate and bartender) were great, and the boat ride to and from downtown was a lot of fun.

Daniel Island Ferry - The ferry ride from Daniel Island into Charleston is a peaceful and memorable experience. The gentle breeze, sparkling water, and exceptional crew make the journey just as enjoyable as the destination! It’s the perfect way to slow down, take in the beauty of the Lowcountry, and enjoy a little slice of calm before arriving in Charleston.

Best way to travel to travel to capital one stadium - They were fantastic! I arrived at the wrong spot (my fault) and they sent the ferry to pick me up. They could not have been more accommodating! I am so grateful.

Nice trip. - It was a pleasant ride with a very clean boat. The crew was very nice and offered to take group photos. The captain pointed out dolphins along the way and slowed down so people could take photos. Convenient drop off to the heart of Charleston.

Surprise Dolphin Excursion! - Captain and his mates (including his dog) were very welcoming and provided good old southern hospitality (and humor at times :)). Beverages and light snacks onboard. Very comfortable and smooth ride - little chilly when we went, but they had blankets which the girls appreciated. We were fortunate to see a "school" of dolphins playing and swimming all around the boat. The Captain slowed the trip down, and circled around for a bit to allow us to enjoy the dolphins (Captain declared that the dolphin sightseeing portion of the trip was extra! -- just kidding). And of course, the trip was quite scenic along the way. Definitely recommend.

Sunset Ferry Cruise - Amazing experience! Very dog friendly. Dallas was the best. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and provide the best harbor boat ride.

Well worth it. Even for locals. - What an amazing experience! You would think, as a local Charlestonian with friends who own boats that a harbor/ferry/sunset cruise would be old hat. But you would be wrong. Capt Dallas and 1st mate Monty made this an unforgettable experience. Their personality and kindness really shows the best this town has to offer. First class accommodations, and the type of experience you only read about. Only Five stars because I can’t give 500.

The views of the harbor were breathtaking, especially coming back at night. Daniel Island is gorgeous. Fun…Fun…Fun!Cruising
