We loved our boat ride, we saw dolphins and a gorgeous sunset. Highly recommend this as a great on-the-water experience for anyone visiting the Charleston- thanks again! We'll be back :)

What a fun way to see Charleston!! The Captain was a cool guy and knew a good bit about the area. Drinks and an amazing sunset on a cool boat! What more could you want? Would definitely recommend anyone and everyone do this when visiting Charleston.

Captain Bob gave us the ride of our weekend - could not have been more friendly, knowledgable, and accommodating. We've done a several similar rides but this was by far the best experience. HIGHLY recommend to both tourists and locals wanting a fun day at sea.

I took my kids out on Captain Jay’s boat who showed us around in the harbor. We saw dolphins, and the kids got to steer the boat too. I highly recommend this tour with Captain Jay or Captain Bob!

ROMANTIC AND RELAXING “The guide wasn’t the usual guide for this tour but she was very friendly and interactive with everyone on the cruise! She was very informative of everything from the houses, parks, landmarks, boats at the marina, people, restaurants. The cruise itself was very nice. The captain even stopped the boat when we spotted dolphins so we could watch them in the water. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.”
This Cruise is a Must “ Amazing sunset cruise!  Captain Robert and First Mate Vincent were the absolute best. Lots of laughs, great information and the company of all aboard was incredible. I didn’t want the cruise to stop!  This cruise is a must!! ”
Very Relaxing Cruise “I originally thought this would be a touristy type cruise but I was way wrong. It was a peaceful boat ride through the harbor hitting some landmarks and watching the sunset over Charleston. There was some background on the landmarks and the guides would answer questions but for the most part, they let you sit and enjoy the ride and scenery. I highly recommend it!”

About Charleston

Established in 1670, Charleston is packed with over 350 years of history. Some of this history, such as Fort Sumter, can only be accessed via Charleston's waterways. The city has a subtropical climate, ensuring warm weather almost year-round. The sunny summers and mild winters are perfect for boating, no matter the season. A plethora of wildlife calls our coasts home. It is not uncommon to have dolphins escort our charters throughout Charleston's waters.

About our master captains

Steve Woodard  has been around boats all of his life, owning his first sail boat at the tender age of 11. In 2008, he founded  Charleston Charter and Yacht, a family business. He proudly brought luxurious, customized, private charters to the Lowcountry for the first time. Steve has owned 13 boats throughout the years and has been a Master Captain 100 tons for 16 years. His skill, expertise, and experience in maneuvering a variety of vessels ensures you are in extremely capable and caring hands.

Paul Zobel was born in Charleston, spending much of his formative years on the waters around the area. He has had a captains license for over forty years, owning and piloting boats from Miami to NY for many of them. He was Captain of the Port for Dewees Island for ten years, piloting their ferry boats. Capt. Charleston Charter and Yacht is incredibly proud to have Cpt. Paul continuing work on the water with us.

Pete DeBoer is a native of Seattle, Washington and grew up in a boating family. Because he is a retired U.S. Coast Guard officer, his experience in operating boats and ships covers the spectrum from 14 to 378 feet. He has served and worked in the Pacific, Caribbean, Mediterranean, Bering Sea, and the Atlantic - from Trinidad to Martha’s Vineyard. Multitalented, Pete is a singer-songwriter that enjoys playing the guitar. His novel, Heave To , loosely parallels his 3 years of drug enforcement operations on a Charleston based cutter in the early 80’s. When Pete is your captain, it's guaranteed you will probably enjoy a sea story or two.
