We had a great experience with Charleston Yacht Tours! The captains were very kind, responsive and professional. We had the best day and booked the wagon wheel for a 3 hour charter. It comfortably fit 17 people. 10/10 will use this service again and would recommend to locals and groups visiting!

Perfect weather and perfect boat ride to spread ashes. Captain Dan always answered the phone with our questions and made sure we were the required distance out to honor the wishes of a loved one. Lily and Captain Dan were very respectful and allowed us to play music. It couldn’t have been a more perfect goodbye. Thanks for all of your help Captain Dan!

Very accommodating and sweet! We brought drinks and they had a way to transport them to the boat, and also immediately put them on ice. They let us swim and were very communicative and nice. Would do it again!

Capt Dan and the High Tide provided our small business group of 5 with a wonderful tour. The boat was spotless and well equipped with a cooler of ice and room for our catering which Capt Dan also helped us organize. We would def hire Capt Dan and his boat again.

Captain Dan is the man! He even was thoughtful enough to offer to move our reservation up so we could avoid rain later in the evening. We had a great time celebrating our wedding weekend with family on our sunset cruise. Highly recommend!

We had SO much fun with Captain Chloe and First Mate Hailey! Our tour was for a bachelorette party with 12 girls total and the boat was super roomy and comfortable for us all. We had plenty of space to dance and hang. Our crew did an amazing job of making us feel welcome, safe and free! When we arrived with our food and drinks, they unpacked it all for us and put it in their provided cooler. We spent 3 hours out on the water and captured some beautiful photos!I spent a lot of time researching boat tours in Charleston for our group and this was hands down the best choice we could have made! I highly recommend this company for your next group outing! Thanks for all the fun! Wish we could do it every weekend!

We went during the early afternoon for my bachelorette party, and it was a fantastic time! Probably one of the top highlights of our weekend. Captains were super fun, friendly, and even shared some fun historical facts about Charleston. A must-do if you're visiting for the first time!

Absolutely amazing! We had a group of 12 for a Bach party, and had the best time. Our charter with Captain Dan and Cody was the highlight of the trip for everyone! Dan was super responsive, and made sure everything was clear ahead of time. The boat itself was spacious and had everything we needed! Not one complaint. Highly recommend this crew!
