SWIM or BAR HOP! - Swim/Float & Drink: Cruise on the boat having drinks, listening to your playlist, searching for dolphins as we head to one of our favorite places to swim. We provide a huge float for the group to use! One of our crew members will help serve the drinks you brought while you float/swim. - Waterfront Bar-Hop: Charleston offers some of the best waterfront restaurants/bars on the East Coast. It’s always fun to pull up like a local to a waterfront bar to grab a drink and/or bite! when the group is ready we will head to the next one… (depending on time) 3-Hour Private Charter $900 up to 10 people Any additional person (up to 14 total): $100 per person The 3-hour charter has 3 time slots to choose from: *Morning: 10am- 1pm* *Afternoon: 1:30pm-4:30pm* *Evening: 5pm-8pm* What to expect: After arriving at the boat pickup location, one of our crew will meet the group with a dock cart to load your drinks(BYOB), bags and snacks to place on the boat for you. The coolers we provide can hold 60+ drinks and any snacks you bring (we also provide a bag of ice). After we get on the boat and everybody grabs a drink, we will slow cruise through the Charleston Harbor listening to your playlist, searching for dolphins as we head to the next spot the group decides to go. We take pictures of the group: Charleston has some beautiful landmarks and backdrops for great photos from the boat!! (all the crew has graduated from iPhone photography school (lol) so we will be glad to get all the perfect shots of the group!)

Was one of the highlights of our trip! Brian was our captain and Peter was the first mate. Both guys were extremely nice and professional. We felt like we were in great hands the entire time. Would highly recommend and hope to do this again! Thank you!!

Captain Chad and First Mate Eric were SO great! They shared historic knowledge of the area, attended to our every need and played some awesome tunes! They also dropped us off at the Shem Creek Boardwalk which made getting back home much easier. Would definitely book again!!

10/10 experience - we had a great time and the hospitality was phenomenal. Chad and James greeted us from the moment we could see the dock. If you're looking for a new way to experience the beautiful views of Charleston, the intracoastal waterway, and hopefully see some dolphins we could not reccomend this experience more!! PS the float is an absolute highlight!!

I booked Chad's boat for my sister's bachelorette and we had an amazing time. I highly recommend him and Holy City Boat Tours! We were greeted at the dock by Chad and his associate, Eric, who helped us load up our bags onto the boat. Chad put together a fantastic itinerary including cruising by the Battery and bridge, seeing dolphins (we saw a few!), stopping at Shem Creek (and making bathroom stops), and finally stopping at a sandbar. The sandbar was the best part so make sure you go!!! Chad provided great information about the waterways and Charleston's history, and Eric provided bartending service throughout the trip and made sure we were comfortable. They also took tons of photos for us, which was awesome. The boat's amenities are great. They actually have three coolers on board so there is plenty of room to bring on food and drinks. They also have cup holders installed and brought a giant floatie for us to lay on when we parked. The ride itself was super smooth -- we never felt unsafe or uncomfortable. All in all, this was the highlight of our weekend in Charleston. Definitely book Chad!

Had the best time with Holy City Boat Tours! Went with a group of 7 girls for a bachelorette and everyone had so much fun! Chad and Eric were great and very accommodating! We cruised around and stopped at a couple local bars. We couldn't have asked for better captains or a better experience. As a bonus we had a cute puppy with us and got to see dolphins! 10/10 would recommend!
