What ages can come on a birthday cruise?

All ages welcome. We host everything from kids' birthdays (5th, 10th, sweet 16) to milestone adult birthdays (30, 40, 50, 60+). Coast Guard life jackets are provided for every age.

Can we bring a cake and decorations?

Absolutely — that's the whole point. Banners, balloons, sashes, and a cake are all welcome. Arrive 15–20 minutes early to set up. Keep confetti biodegradable; we share the harbor with the dolphins.

Yes. Adults can BYOB (cans and plastic, no glass), and we provide the cooler, ice, and cups. Bring juice boxes and sodas for the kids — we'll keep everything cold.

How big can the party be?

Up to 12 on our standard charter boats and 13–23 on the Roamer IV (which has a bathroom — handy for kids). One flat rate for the whole boat, starting at $350.

Can we do a sunset birthday cruise?

Yes — and it's the most photogenic option. Book a charter that ends at sunset for golden-hour cake photos with the Ravenel Bridge in the background.

Where do you depart from?

100 Church St, Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464 — Shem Creek, about 14 minutes from downtown Charleston. Free public parking nearby. Call (843) 508-1600.
