This was my second trip with Capt Dan. It was as good as the first with historic information as well as a few visuals from the past to explain what we were visiting. He was a true professional, polite and helpful. The tour was the highlight of our vacation. We saw places the other organized tours could not go and we felt safe on his boat. read more

I can't even accurately put into words how much fun we had with Captain Dan on our boat ride! His boating experience and historical knowledge coupled with just the right amount of fun made it the best afternoon of our entire trip! He also pointed out all of the places in the marsh and harbor where they filmed scenes from the NETFLIX show Outer Banks! Super cool as we had all watched the show!! Seeing all the huge houses and piers along the water and hearing about some of the owners and construction process was very interesting. All in all we had an amazing time with Captain Dan and will definitely look him up again if we're back in Charleston! read more

This was the best water tour the highlight of our trip to Charleston SC. Captain Dan was such a great tour guide and knew all about the Charleston area history and nature. We saw a multitude of wildlife dolphins, manatees and birds. We learned all about the area in our 4 hour tour and it was so intimate and personal. We toured the area took a refreshing swim. I think this is a must do experience for the area. Highly recommend for kids and adults. read more

Captain Dan's water tour was the highlight of our Charleston trip ! We had a group of 5 people including a 7 year old and were all very happy with our experience. Dan made sure to cater the trip to all our requests! We saw lots of wildlife including dolphins and manatees and were able to anchor the boat so we could jump in and swim. Captain Dan was a wealth of knowledge providing us with history and facts of the area. His boat was also less then a year old and had all the amenities you could ask for! Seeing Charleston through this intimate tour from the ocean view is an incredible experience and a must do when visiting Charleston. I know when we go back we will be booking this tour again! read more

My family was on vacation in Edisto and we had purchased a deal with livingsocial.com for a two hour water tour on Shem Creek. We were set to leave at 6pm but arrived at the dock just about 20 minutes late thanks to all the commuter traffic. Captain Dan was waiting graciously on the dock for us. He has a gorgeous 22ft' Scout Sportfisher stocked with plenty of water and gatorade. He allows you to BYOB and snacks. We took off out of Shem Creek which was spectacular at high tide flanked with great blue herons and dolphins swimming next to the boat. Along the way Captain Dan stopped to tell us about the historical points of interest as well as the local point of view. We went on an extensive tour of the harbor stopping by Rainbow Row and Fort Sumter. My favorite memory was in the creeks over by Morris island which was breathtaking at sunset. We had a great time with Captain Dan. The tour was so thorough and he went above and beyond for us. Although we were just about 20 minutes late he allowed the tour to go on well past the two hours we paid for. You can't beat the value in this intimate tour of the Charleston Harbor. I highly recommend this to any one looking for an authentic tour without feeling too "touristy". read more

Captain Dan was a great, friendly and awesome tour guide. We had a great time and had a good history lesson.

We purchased this tour through living social when looking for things to do while on a family vacation. From the time I purchased the voucher to the time we used it (Thanksgiving week 2012) Captain Dan was more than helpful. He gave us recommendations for things to see and do as well as local restaurants to visit during our stay. While I did not experience the tour myself (we did it for the kids) everyone that went really enjoyed the tour and thought that Captain Dan knew the area and was a wonderful guide. I hope they (my kids) post the sunset pictures they took while on the tour as they were gorgeous!!! I hope we will see Captain Dan again on future visits. read more
