As we sail closer to Halloween, it’s that perfect time again to stir up some spine-tingling curiosity. If you’re looking for something fun and spooky to get you in the Halloween mood, come aboard a Sandlapper Ghost & Pirate Tour… if you dare.
The city’s secret stories come alive when the sun dips below the Charleston skyline and the harbor’s waters turn inky. On our Ghost & Pirate Water Tour, the familiar cobblestones give way to supernatural whispers and maritime mysteries best heard on the sea. Here, you’ll listen to haunting tales from the water—like Nettie Dickerson, the Lady in Red. One of Charleston’s most famous specters, Nettie once sought love at the old Planter’s Hotel in a stunning red dress, only to be struck down by lightning on its balcony. She is said to be still wandering the Dock Street Theater, the building that later replaced the hotel. You’ll also learn about Stede Bonnet, the Gentleman Pirate, who was executed at nearby White Point Garden in 1718. Many visitors have reported seeing ghostly figures drifting among the ancient oaks, as if still bound to the spot where their lives—or deaths—played out.
This season, take the road less traveled—by water. Whether you’re a local seeking stories with shivers or a pilgrim of the paranormal, our Ghost & Pirate Water Tour promises history and haunt, all under the shadows of the Holy City’s moonlit skyline. Don’t just hear Charleston’s ghost stories—live them. Spots fill quickly this time of year, so grab your ticket today and join us on the water for a Halloween experience you’ll never forget. Dare to climb aboard… if you’re brave enough.
