Are you looking for the best way to explore the Charleston waterways? Look no further and meet the Sandlapper Water Tours fleet. Before you book your boat tour, knowing your options and factoring in each boat’s different amenities is essential. Are you looking for a bigger boat that holds more people or a smaller boat that has fewer people and fosters a more intimate setting? Regardless of your personal needs, one of our three unique boats, The Palmetto, The Carolina Blue, and the Skiff, are ready to set sail and take you on an adventure you will never forget. 

The Palmetto 

Welcome aboard the Palmetto, a 45-foot Corinthian Catamaran. The Palmetto, our largest boat, is USCG-certified for up to 49 passengers and is powered by two quiet Yamaha 150 4-stroke engines, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable ride. Whether you enjoy a beverage from our onboard bar, relaxing on our carpeted deck and perimeter seating, or enjoying surround sound music, the Palmetto provides the perfect setting. With space to accommodate large tables, an onboard restroom, and weather flaps, the Palmetto is ideal for everything from private charters to sunset cruises and special events. A covered canvas provides shaded seating for ¾ of the vessel while the other ¼ allows guests to soak up the sun. The Palmetto also has weatherproof flaps for chilly and rainy conditions. 

Carolina Blue 

For those seeking a more intimate experience, climb aboard the 33-foot Monohull, a smaller, agile, and adventurous open-air vessel. Designed for up-close exploration of Charleston’s stunning waterway and with a capacity of just 21 passengers, this open-air vessel provides a close-up experience perfect for sightseeing along the historic Battery, Ravenel Bridge, barrier islands, forts, and lighthouses. Guests are welcome to bring their own beverages and snacks, and we provide a large cooler with ice to keep drinks chilled. With cushioned seating and an onboard restroom, the Carolina Blue ensures a comfortable ride while delivering unbeatable views and adventure on the water.

The Skiff 

For a truly personalized experience on Charleston’s waters, look no further than the Skiff, our 26-foot Carolina skiff designed for intimate, customizable excursions. With a capacity of up to 11 passengers, this vessel allows you to craft your perfect day—whether it’s a private historic tour, an exploration of the salt marsh creeks, a catered picnic on Morris Island, or a relaxing swim in Charleston’s scenic waters. Guests can bring their own snacks and beverages and relax while our friendly captain guides you through the stunning Lowcountry landscape, pointing out iconic landmarks along the way. Perfect for weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, corporate outings, nature tours, or any adventure, the Sandlapper Skiff delivers an unforgettable way to experience Charleston from the water.
