    FAQs

    Complete the online waiver for each member of your group before arriving for your private boating lesson.

    Bring water, sunscreen, a hat or sunglasses, and any snacks you want. A cooler is available on board. Apply spray sunscreen before boarding because it can make the boat slippery.

    5/5

    The sunset cruise was stunning and included a stop at Morris Island to get off the boat and search for shells and sharks teeth. The boat captain Weatherly was extremely knowledgeable about the waterways and ecosystems. We saw sooo many dolphins too! Highly recommend this outing for families and friends visiting or living in the Charleston area.
