Experience Boat Tours in Charleston

What to do: You’ll no doubt take in the antebellum architecture and the magnolia plantations. All are well worth visiting and exploring, so how about adding visits to our wonderful selection? There’s Fort Sumter National, a sea fort from the Civil War. The city market is worth a look and a trip to the South Carolina aquarium will be perfect for all the family. Finally, there’s the Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum. You get to explore the retired navy ships!

Best time to visit: For the best of Charleston experience, you should really head there during the shoulder months of Spring and Autumn. The weather during this time is just perfect for sightseeing, oh, and the magnolia trees are in bloom.

Boat tours and horse-drawn carriages: Head out for an enthralling boat tour, then why not add a charming, more refined experience by going on a horse-drawn carriage tour? It’s like stepping back into a bygone era as you settle back and take in the city.


• As you enjoy your boat trip, have this fact in your mind. Charleston harbour runs for around 7 miles to the Atlantic Ocean. Its entrance is 1-mile wide and is flanked by Sullivan’s Island.

• Charles Town was the first surviving English colony in the Southern region. Which is actually quite remarkable considering the hostile Spanish and French settlements in the region.

• If you get time, why not head for the Charleston Museum? It was the first museum to be founded in America in 1773. Bit of history to take in there.
