Party Boat Cruise

updated Jan 2026

We Are The Life Of The Party!!

Most of our party boat bookings are bachelorette cruises, but birthdays, bachelor parties, friend trips, and “we’re in Charleston so let’s celebrate” days are all welcome. We love what we do and it shows when you come aboard. That is one reason we have been voted “Best Tour Company” in The Post and Courier Charleston’s Choice Awards time and time again.

Our sound system is Bluetooth, so it is easy for guests to connect and play their favorite music. The boat has a wide, stable deck with plenty of room to move around, dance, and have a great time.

That is basically the vibe on our party cruise. Bring your people, bring your playlist, and plan on having a blast. We do have bottled water, ice and a large cooler on-board. You are more than welcome to bring your favorite drinks and food on board as well. Glass bottles are allowed on the boat, however please bring a plastic glass to drink from.

Enjoy soaking up some rays on the the huge sun pad or retreat from the sun as the boat is covered about 3/4 of the way to offer the best of both worlds. The decks are easy to clean so spilling of drinks and other stuff is not a problem. 

We like to get rowdy, and Captain Dave is all for it. This cruise is a top pick for bachelor parties and bachelorette groups who want something fun, unique, and unforgettable for the bride-to-be or groom-to-be. Nothing makes us happier than hearing we made your trip.

One of the most popular things to do is head over to Shem Creek for a scenic stop. Some of our guests like to pop into the bar to do a shot with friends. It is a fun and beautiful place with seafood restaurants, shrimp boats, and great energy. At night, the lights on the water make it a perfect spot to float for a bit and enjoy music and good times with your group.

A sunset cruise is best enjoyed on a charted vessel with a captain that will take you to the most idyllic locations while you relax and take in the sights, smells, and sounds. The views are truly stunning. If you are paying attention to the water in addition to the sky then you may just catch the appearance of a dolphin. This is the perfect way to end a day in Charleston as the sky over the city explodes with color and then darkness descends to reveal the quaint beauty of Downtown Charleston.

You are welcome to bring along your favorite beverages as well as your favorite tunes which can play over our bluetooth equipped sound system. If you prefer a quiet evening we can always take you to a more remote location or if you are wanting to start the evening off with some fun on the water and get a little more wild on the water under the painted sky we can accommodate that as well. Here at Carolina Marine Group it is always:

Charleston is fun on the water year-round. It is often a few degrees cooler on the boat than on land, so dress for the conditions, especially in cooler months.

The party boat can accommodate up to 18 guests.

Yes. The boats have toilets or heads onboard, and the crew will explain how they work during the safety briefing.

Yes. You can bring your own food and drinks, and it is encouraged. There is bottled water, ice, and a large cooler onboard. Glass bottles are allowed, but please drink from plastic cups.

Over the last 5 years we have cancelled only one trip due to rain. We do not cancel our tours for a localized rain shower; we will cancel a tour if it is unsafe to be on the water or if it is going to rain for the whole trip. Charleston weather can be peculiar and it may be raining where you are but just on the other side of town it can be sunny. Most time we can operate around the weather and the isolated rain. It’s actually pretty fun to see!

No dress code. Dress for the weather. It is often cooler on the water, and blankets may be available in cooler months.

We have a large gated parking lot for our clients that chooses to drive. Parking is very secure and only costs a few dollars. They accept cash and card. take a ticket at the guard booth and drive straight past the large 4 story brick building. This is the old Rice Mill, past there it will open to a large parking lot with the Charleston Yacht Club in front of you and a 10 story brick building called Ashley Place directly across the street. Direct your attention to the left if looking at Ashley Place you will find the top of the central walk way dock. It will say welcome to the Megadock.

We had the best time on our bachelorette charter. Captain Dave was incredibly personable, making everyone feel welcome and keeping the energy high!
