What Guests Are Saying

“I can’t recommend this boat experience enough!! We went on a girls weekend, and Captain Will showed us all the best spots, told us really interesting history stories about Charleston and Gullah cultures! We also saw a bunch of birds, and he helped identify them and told us really cool facts about the birds - things I’d never know if I saw them on my own. Pro tip: ask to get lunch at Bowen’s island. Overall, can’t recommend this enough, highlight of our trip!”
