What to expect
Charleston grew up around one of the finest natural harbors on the East Coast, and getting on the water is one of the best ways to see the city: the skyline, Fort Sumter, the Battery, the Ravenel Bridge, and usually a few of the resident dolphins.
From the operator: Hop aboard the “Carolina Belle” & head out into the Charleston Harbor for a relaxing cruise. You’ll learn about the rich history of Charleston, passing a multitude of landmarks and points-of-interest.
