Overview

Experience the beauty of the Lowcountry during golden hour in the tidal salt marsh with up to 6 of your favorite people. Your evening ecotour boat trip takes you away from the hustle and bustle of Charleston Harbor and crowded beaches into the quiet, remote waterways of the estuary.

Cruise through winding tidal creeks and keep an eye out for great blue herons, egrets, pelicans, ospreys, shorebirds and Atlantic bottlenose dolphins as they move through the marsh during Golden Hour.

Relax on the water with Capt. Chris, a local guide sharing the stories, history, culture, seafood and ecology that make the Lowcountry special. Explore hidden creeks and untouched marsh views away from crowded tourist routes while learning how this ecosystem supports the wildlife.

This is a private tour for up to 6 passengers. There will not be any other guests on the boat.

Watch the sun go down, discover the hidden side of the Lowcountry, and enjoy an unforgettable coastal adventure beyond the postcards.

    Frequently Asked Questions (9)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Private Evening Boat Cruise Around Remote Tidal Salt Marsh?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
