★★★★★ Tripadvisor review
If that is your idea of luxury we will take a pass
lindadJ8962IM, October 2026
Not luxury by a long shot. It was a very long tedious walk on the dock to get to the boat. The boat was smallish and we could actually see where people were living and sleeping onboard! The beds were a mess! People were nice.. but typical unkempt dudes not a “yacht” experience! There were 6 of us and we were like sardines. Not recommended

Shelby_C, September 2026
We were in Charleston on a girls trip and wanted a more private experience. I cannot say enough positive things about Matt our captain and his cocaptain (I forgot her name but she was wonderful). They were so welcoming and attentive. We were so excited to be there, see dolphins, and get some cool photos. Sometimes people can be very annoyed with that amount of enthusiasm- they were not at all. So so wonderful and made us feel so safe & able to have a great time! Cannot recommend enough.
