What you'll do
The most popular boat tour in Charleston!!
Our 2 hour Sunset tour starts at the Brittlebank park where you will board our comfortable one of a kind Carolina skiff. After you’ve settled in, grabbed your favorite cold beverage or snack, we will begin our cruise down the Ashley River to the historic waterfront houses on the water in Charleston. Along the way we will enjoy the sights and the sounds of beautiful marsh birds, dolphin and other Lowcountry wildlife. Once we spot dolphin swimming we will stop the boat to watch and enjoy them in their natural habitat. After enjoying the beautiful Historic homes on the battery and taking photos we will continue on our leisurely cruise back to watch the sun set right in front of us where we will continue to spot dolphin and other beautiful shorebirds.
Our boat tours are the best way to cover a large area of the local waterways and search for dolphins, shorebirds, and other exciting wildlife. During the boat tour we regularly see Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins, pelicans, ospreys, crabs and much more.
Other things to note
The weather in Charleston May change throughout the day. We may recommend a different time when booking to allow for the best weather conditions to enjoying the scenic views and wildlife when cruising.

Hi, I’m Captain Chad. I’m a Charleston local who spent most of their childhood on the water. My love for the ocean drives my passion to learn, teach and share the unique beauty of the Lowcountry waterways as only a local can do. I graduated in the top 5 of my USCG training and excelled to be a Master Captain as well as a certified surfing instructor for 15+ years, stand up paddle board guide for 6 years, and avid fisherman since a very young age who loves to share the beauty of Charleston with locals and tourist alike. A lifetime of experience on the water has given me a keen eye for spotting dolphin, exploring the wildlife in the creeks and marshes, shelling and finding sharks teeth and other artifacts. I’d love to share with you where the locals eat, play and make memories.

The sunset boat cruise with Chad was like spending the afternoon with a good friend. He was very personable, knowledgeable of the area that he grew up in, on and around the water. Being a Charleston native he was able to give us tips on the best restaurants and best attractions, beaches etc to visit. When we come back to the srea area to visit we will definitely be booking another tour with Chad at Holy City Boat Tours of Charleston.

This was a last minute trip, and I'm so glad we booked! The boat looked brand new and was spotless. The scenery was beautiful and Chad was excellent at sharing stories of Charleston (both old and new). He is very laid back, down to earth, and friendly. He instantly made us feel welcome.
We could tell how experienced he is on the water as this was one of the most calm, peaceful, and enjoyable boat rides we've ever taken.
Would definitely recommend...you won't regret it!
