What you'll do:

Board Charleston's most-talked-about tiki boat, crack open your drinks of choice, and cruise the harbor as the city glows gold at sunset.

• Set sail on Charleston Harbor – Take in the waterfront skyline, historic church steeples, and Fort Sumter in the distance as your boat glides through the water.

• Build your own soundtrack – Connect your playlist to the onboard sound system and keep the music going for the full 95-minute cruise.

• Toast the guest of honor – Bring whatever your crew is drinking; coolers, ice, and cups are stocked and waiting when you board.

• Party under the LED lights – As the sky darkens, the boat's LED party lights take over, turning the harbor into your dance floor.

• Capture the moment – The combination of open water, a golden-hour sky, and your crew in full celebration mode makes for photos you'll actually use.

This is the kind of outing that turns a birthday, bachelorette, or Friday night into a story. Low-effort to plan, high on payoff.

Why we love it for your party:

• BYOB freedom – Bring exactly what your crew loves to drink, with no bar minimums and no markups, just your favorites.

• Premium sound system – Your playlist runs the whole ride, so the vibe is entirely yours from the first song to the last.

• LED party lighting – Onboard lights set the mood once the sun goes down, no additional setup required.

• Intimate group capacity – The boat is sized for your crew, not a crowd of strangers, so it genuinely feels like your private celebration.

• USCG-licensed captain – Every captain is U.S. Coast Guard certified, so you can focus on the party while someone else handles the boat.
