The kids sang karaoke (hilarious), grandparents chilled on the big sofas and even danced at some point because the captain made it all so fun and easygoing. We didn't even touch the music -- it was all the right mix of classics and modern songs everyone knew and sang along to. The boat is super spacious, clean, and so well taken care of. Loved all the little details. Thanks a lot, it was such a great day out on the water! That party boat I can definitely recommend.

I've enjoyed time on more than one of Captain Dave's vessels for both social and family focused events. If you wish to book an event, it's super easy. There's a tool on the site, but you can also simply call or email and a team member will get right back with you. What you see on the site for pricing and FAQs is exactly what you'll experience, so there's no surprise or confusion. Captain Dave is knowledgeable, safe, and fun. He'll want you to have a great experience, be safe, follow smart "on-the-water" behaviors. Now, just in case the thought of a party on the water strips away all semblance of common sense, please know that Captain Dave and his crew/team members are providing a professional service--they are not your maids or parents. Have fun!

It really was a nice ride out to the island and then we were off the boat following the shark teeth finding expert- who I can't remember his name. I found a small amount of teeth- but I did find a megalodon tooth! Not fully intact- but STILL- how cool. I also murdered my cell phone- don't ask. I found a keyhole sea urchin (something most people think are sand-dollars) and a couple shells to keep. 90 minutes on island flew by and we were back on the boat in shade enjoying the wind as we returned. I 100% recommend going with this company! Thank you Adventure Harbor Tours!

Captain Howard (the owner of Adventure Harbor Tours) definitely made our trip to Charleston an…read moreunforgettable experience! The purpose of our trip to Charleston was to take my cancerous dog Charlie to enjoy beach run one more time. Given that most of the beaches require dogs on leash, a visit to Morris Island (which is uninhabited and only accessible by boat ) quickly got on our wish list. Unfortunately because one of my 3 dogs on this trip has small dog syndrome and couldn't stop barking at the other well-behaved dog brought by other passengers on the boat, we decided to leave the tour so that we don't spoil other people's fun. For his love of dogs, Captain Howard graciously offered to make a special arrangement for us. He asked us to come back the next day and had Captain Aaron taken us (just us!) on a 3-hour trip to Morris Island. I thought the private tour was gonna cost us an arm and a leg, but he charged us regular tour price per person for two (and dogs for free). Captain Aaron was informative and friendly. In addition to the fun facts and history, he told us where to go on high tide when we got to the island. Charlie and my other two dogs were overjoyed when they realized they could run free on the island!! They ran in and out of water, played fetch on the beach, and enjoyed the rare sunshiny day. Captain Howard was absolutely right--Morris Island is truly Disney World for dogs! We had three exhausted but very happy dogs by the end of the visit. More importantly, it meant a lot to me to check running freely on beach off Charlie's bucket list. From a dog lover to another dog lover, I thank Captain Howard for his kindness. I highly recommend Adventure Harbor Tours. It is a tour company full of fun and heart!
