I had this as a special birthday gift for all of my 3 brothers who meet in Charleston. They had a loooot of fun and I would definitely recommend this tour. All of them were driving their own boat. The only feedback I would have is that they mentioned the tour was only 1.5 hours and not 2 as described.

This was an on the whim booking for us, but we were soooo glad we did it! Graham was an excellent guide! He was thorough on boating safety and instructions both at the start and during the tour. This is not a hand held tour. You are able to have independence while driving the boat around getting to all the stops on your way through it. So long as you “leave the boat in front of you alone.” Highly recommend for anyone visiting at any time!

Graham was an amazing “parent” on our journey. He warned us that the harbor may be choppy and if it was we would divert elsewhere. He made sure we were safe, but could also have A GREAT TIME! Water sports can terrify me and I had so much fun. This was the best part of our trip to Charleston! If you get any inclination to do this, then DO IT! You won’t regret it!
