And I wasn't wrong! The tour lasted about 90 minutes (and it leaves promptly FYI) and takes you along the shoreline of Amelia Island - past the shrimping boats and past a Civil War era fort - before heading towards Cumberland Island National Seashore. This is where the true fun of the tour was for me. I had no idea really the history of the island and found it fascinating how the Carnegies and Rockefellers and more of the country's elite used this random Georgia seashore as their private escape. The history of both Cumberland and Amelia Islands is incredibly fascinating and the guides for both the Florida and Georgia sides respectively were well informed and personable. Plus - you'll very likely see a ton of great wildlife throughout including dolphins and wild horses and pigs. It's a great way to spend an afternoon in the area and a fabulous introduction to Cumberland Island National Seashore/Park.

We found out what we have been missing! First, the boat and crew: The sailboat is a catamaran with a living area (Sherry and Gaelen call it the salon), a kitchen, bedrooms, and several bathrooms. The deck has a freshwater shower, lots of seating area, and grill...and the boat is immaculate. We had spent very little time on boats, but this one impressed us! Sherry and Gaelen are the crew, very welcoming and helpful, and particularly patient with children (we had 4 aboard). Second, the trip: We left their dock right next to the USS Yorktown mid-morning for a tour of the Charleston harbor, and finally anchoring just off Morris Island, a small recreational island empty but for a lighthouse. After swimming off the boat and having lunch, Sherry and Gaelen took us over to the beach on the island (by way of their dingy named "Minion"). We spent the afternoon enjoying the beach and the company, finding shells and sharks teeth, and watching the never-ending parade of boats go by. As the day closed, we returned to the dock and disembarked. It truly was a fantastic day, and I would recommend this charter to anyone living in OR visiting Charleston Visited July 2013

Yes, a lot of the slots of super old but that doesn't mean they're not fun. I will say that it seems like they could've made an announcement or something explaining the difference between the games on the second and third decks. We ended up figuring it out for ourselves, but it seems like a quick announcement would make things less confusing. The other thing I've seen in reviews is YES, the boat rocks, A LOT. I've been on casino boats before but even in very calm waters, this boat rocked a lot more than I'm used to. Not the end of the world as some reviews claim, you just have to be careful is all. Beer prices are cheap and every member of staff we encountered was nice. We played a lot of slots while the casino was open and we left with $100 more than we started with, so no complaints there.

Let's give the positives first. The fried chicken was crispy and delicious. Although the kitchen help were suffering in a hot kitchen with one fan and no air conditioning. We were told the air would start after we reached so many miles out. The entire trip was without air. The boat itself was nasty. The bathrooms were nasty. The handrails were gross and sticky ( everyone of them!). The little cocktail tables in the lounge looked like they had been cleaned with a greasy rag. The entire boat reminded me of a decommissioned boat being put back into service for an emergency use. This boat is not ADA compliant (maybe because it is too old). There were no elevators on a 3 level boat. Let's just say my knees are screaming. I saw passengers on a walker and in wheelchair, needless to say they were stuck on the bottom level. I saw very little excitement anywhere. In a group of 10 people not any could say they even came close to winning. I didn't hear any whistles or cheering denoting a big win. All in all I was underwhelmed with joy. Very disappointed with this venture. F. Barber

They also charge a toll to get into the beach community with state residents paying I believe six dollars or so and out of state residents paying closer to 10. However, it's definitely worth it as there is plenty of parking along the entire island beach strip, including a really great fishing pier at the end of the island that also has a bait and tackle shop located within the park. We found the beach to be clean, the facilities to be well kept, and more importantly, not overly crowded. The beach here is well traveled, however so this is not soft, supple sand, but much more hard packed, which allows for running, bike riding and recreational activities in general. There were several families fishing in the same vicinity of other families playing in the water which could present a bit of concern with regard to potential hooks and fishing tackle in the surf, but it didn't seem to bother anybody. This is definitely going to be our go to beach for the foreseeable near future.
