Charleston sunset cruise,
by the seat.
Hop aboard our nightly golden-hour harbour cruise — per-person seats from $65. Ravenel Bridge, Fort Sumter & dolphins, timed to the very last light.
The most beautiful two hours in Charleston.
This is the sunset boat tour in Charleston. Every evening we leave Shem Creek and cruise the harbour as the skyline turns gold — Ravenel Bridge, Fort Sumter, dolphins at dusk. Book just the seats you need from $65 a person, bring your own drinks, and let the captain do the rest.

The 90 minutes that make the whole trip.
We cast off at 6:30 PM, so you're on open water exactly when the harbour turns copper and the skyline lights up.
Past Castle Pinckney, under the Ravenel Bridge, out toward Fort Sumter and the harbour mouth — Charleston's most scenic stretch of water.
Bottlenose dolphins feed in the harbour at golden hour. Sightings are common on the ride out and the cruise home.
Grab just the seats you need aboard the Roamer IV — room for up to 23, so solo travellers, couples, and families all fit comfortably.
Bring champagne, beer, or a charcuterie board. We supply the cooler, ice, and cups. Toast the sunset exactly the way you like.
Ask and your captain frames you against the skyline at peak light. Phones and real cameras both welcome — you'll leave with the shot.
Route varies with wind & tide — your captain always chases the best light.
We chase the light year-round.
The sunset moves with the season, but we depart at 6:30 PM most of the year to catch the best light. The exact time for your date is shown on every tile in the calendar above. Here's roughly when the sun sets when you sail from Shem Creek:
Times are typical and seasonal. Please arrive 15 minutes early — boats leave on time to catch the light.
Come prepared, leave glowing.
Live Charleston Harbor conditions. Evenings are calmest on the water — but it cools quickly after sunset, so bring a layer. We sail rain or shine and only cancel for unsafe weather (full refund or free reschedule).
The moment they keep talking about.
Board at Shem Creek.
We cast off from Shem Creek in Mt. Pleasant — about a 14-minute drive across the Ravenel Bridge from downtown Charleston. Arrive 15 minutes before your 6:30 PM departure.
Good to know before you board.
