Charleston Private Boat & Beach Excursion - 3 Hours of Adventure

5.0 (15 reviews) · By Charleston Sailing Charters

Set out on a 3-hour private afternoon boat ride and beach excursion, cruising the harbor on a sleek center console boat. Your captain, a seasoned professional, will take you past historic harbor sites and to some of the most secluded island beaches nearby.

Stop for shark tooth hunting, shelling, or simply relax on the sandy shores. Want to turn it into a beach party? Add beach chairs, a cabana, towels, a cooler, and a JBL speaker—additional fees apply for each item. The boat, Southern Charm, can reach speeds of up to 30mph, letting you cover a lot of ground in just three hours.

Enjoy options like lunch at Shem Creek’s many restaurants or a stroll on Morris Island, where you might find a rare 50-million-year-old Megalodon tooth. Your captain will customize the experience based on what you want to do. We provide a cooler with ice, soft drinks, bottled water, Bluetooth stereo, emergency porta potty, and rain ponchos—just bring your food and beverages onboard.
