Wonderful ride!

Our ride today was wonderful. We rode the route twice, and the kids loved just riding and looking at everything on the water. It was a nice activity to do in the morning where we didn’t have to walk around. The staff was so friendly and the price was unbeatable for an all day pass.

Great way to travel around Charleston

Loved the Water Taxi. It was a great way to get to different areas around Charleston. Enjoyed the ride and captured brief glimpses of dolphins playing. The captain and mate were super friendly and did a great job helping to spot dolphins. Only issue was finding the first dock near the aquarium. The instructions on their website are not correct, have not been updated. Spent 25 minutes trying to find where we needed to be for the first ride.

Flexibility was great

Great idea for travel when you do not want to get your car from the valet at your hotel. Hop on, hop off is great.

Drone Show

We went for the drone show in the Charleston Harbor. The captain was great and took a little tour around the bridge and Yorktown to get back to the dock. Beautiful night! Quincy was great and friendly!

This was a wonderful...

This was a wonderful experience with stunning views and excellent sightseeing opportunities. The convenience of being able to get on and off at different locations added great value to the trip. A special highlight was spotting dolphins, which was an exciting and memorable first-time experience for my daughter.
