About This Tour
Everyone loves the Kismet for its style, comfort and ability to hold large groups of 20 passengers, we also include rafts and water hammocks at no extra charge. We cruise the harbor, discuss historic areas if you want or drop anchor off a deserted island to swim and lounge in the floats. The water in the summer gets up to 87 degrees and perfect for swimming. Families love the kismet as its safe for children and very comfortable for the entire family. All charters are BYOB and we have coolers with ice, bottle water and soft drinks included. There is also a nice and clean bathroom onboard. We strive to provide the best experience possible with excellent customer service and the best boating experience in Charleston. Each charter has a professional master captain and a first mate to drive the boat and also help serve you and make your trip perfect every time. Standard trips are 2 hours but can be as long as 4 hours. If the morning time is booked please ask us about the other times.
