Our History Program participants will learn about Charleston's rich history and colorful maritime history. The History Program route encompasees the Charleston Battery , Fort Sumter, Fort Moultrie, and the YorkTown. This is a 1 1/2 hr. Program with a Licensed History Guide. This Private Program can take place at any time of the day. It will accommodate 49 people max.



The Nature Program participants will be exposed to the abundant wildlife in Charleston's Harbor and her estuaries. Hands-on learning will take place with an onboard touch-tank with discussion of the contents of thrown cast nets and pulled crab pots.

We offer two different Nature Programs: Beach Ecology Program and the Salt Marsh Ecology Program. Both programs are for 2 hrs. with the Naturalist. These Private Nature Programs can take place at any time of the day. They each will accommodate 49 people max.


1) Beach Ecology Program: Enroute to uninhabited barrier island, the Charleston Waterfront and Battery are seen and a crab pot is pulled with contents viewed in onboard touch tank. All partake in beach ecology walk/talk on Morris Island with the Naturalist. The list of objectives for this program are specific to the grade level of the students participating in the program.

2) Salt Marsh Ecology Program: Enroute to a very pristine salt marsh creek, a crab pot is pulled and contents are viewed. While in the salt marsh creek we'll cast a net and review its contents as the Naturalist teaches about the salt marsh ecology. The list of objectives for this program are specific to the grade level of the students participating in the program.



We also offer a Combo History - Nature Program. This is a 3 hour Program which combines the History Program and the Beach Ecology Nature Program. The students are joined by the Licensed History Guide and Naturalist. This Private Program can take place at any time of the day. It will accommodate 49 people max.

We also can arrange a full day for your students' outing and can run three to four trips a day with each lasting 1-2 hrs enabling us to accommodate student groups of 150-200.
