His knowledge of Charleston's history is extraordinary, and the way he tells it? Pure magic. We laughed, we learned and we never wanted it to end. His wife also joined us and was a wonderful addition to the crew -- together they made the whole experience feel like a day out with great friends rather than a tour. Charming, memorable, and one of the best things we did in Charleston. Five stars isn't enough!

Chris pointed out interesting tidbits about Charleston's history, architecture, and maritime culture that added an extra layer of depth to the experience.

I was pleasantly surprised to find free street parking. We boarded the boat and headed out in the harbor. It was a beautiful night on the water and bonus, we got to see the sun set. They played a little music but mostly the captain gave us history of the harbor. We saw some old military ships and a couple of forts and went under the suspension bridge. They sell snacks, alcohol, soda and ice cream. I ordered a Pepsi and a chocolate chip ice cream cookie. And bonus, there is a bathroom on board. The staff was friendly.

Unless you're a bigger party, I recommend paying the extra amount for a private window seat for 2 otherwise you'd be seated with strangers. It comes with a 4 course meal, and there's a bar on the boat but that's extra. We were shown to our seats right when we boarded and then Kevin was our waiter, super nice. We departed at 7pm and Kevin let us know our first meal would be arriving around 7:30 so we had time to go up to the observation deck. It was very windy but it was still cool to see us leave port and go out to the Charleston Harbor which was nice. There's a covered area in the back and then it's open at the front and that was definitely windy. The meals were so good, we honestly said the food was probably the best food we had on our whole trip! It started off with a she crab soup which was yummy. Second meal was a salad with sweet salad dressing that was also great. Third meal you got to pick your entree, I did the braised short rib that came with mashed potatoes and green beans. My husband did the grilled salmon with same sides. Both were absolutely delicious. I could've eaten it all but wanted to save room for dessert. I did the chocolate torte and my husband did the cheesecake, again so delicious. We also added the bubbly package which was an extra $35 but since it was a special occasion it was worth it. There was live music the whole time too. A guitarist who played really great songs. Overall, highly recommend!

Our server Barbara was so nice and hospitable and very welcoming and knowledgeable. She explained how this would go. 7:15 we will serve the bread, at 7:30 they will serve the first course a She-crab soup, ohh so good with a kick of cayenne delicious, oh by the way Barbara asked our table "who would like more soup we all said yes except wifey she's watching her salt intake and weight. next 2nd course cranberry almond kale Prosecco vinaigrette excellent, also saw into kitchen how each salad was prepped and dressed. Then we were told after the 2nd course there would be a 15-20 minute break for us to go take in the view and atmosphere of our sailing. Then we all received our entrees. My wife had the Braised Beef Short-ribs served with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The beef was so tender if there was a bone it would have fallen off of it. I couldn't come to Charleston and not try the shrimp and grits which had andouille sausage and country ham. If you don't like spicy do not order this.. fortunately I Love spicy. Delicious is all I can say. Dessert is not included however you can purchase a slice of cheesecake or flourless chocolate torte. Wifey is a dessert person me not so much, the cheesecake was light and very tasty now I'm not a dessert person but that chocolate torte tasty however too chocolatey for my taste buds. Beautiful evening view of the sunset and the Ravenel bridge. This bridge connects Downtown Charleston to mount Pleasant.
