Outstanding experience. Boat Captain Scott and First Mate Monique were exceptional and elevated our experience beyond our expectations.

Beautiful scenery, excellent service!
Beautiful day in the Charleston Harbor! We live in the area, but it was nice to see the skyline and shoreline from a new perspective and appreciate the beauty of the city its surroundings. Crew was extremely friendly and competent. Would definitely recommend!

Outstanding Sunset Cruise to Celebrate a Special Bday on Charleston Sailing Charters
We had a great Sunset Cruise on Kismet to celebrate my wife's birthday!! Captain Scott and First Mate, Monique, did an outstanding job!! They tailored the ride to what we wanted to see and where we wanted to go. We did add another 30 minutes to the two hour cruise so we could make sure to enjoy the sunset. Scott was incredibly knowledgable about Charelston, the history and all the sights. Monique did a great job of getting all the food and drinks for everyone and extremely accommodating!! The food was catered by Cavier and Bananas and everything was absolutely delicious!! We ordered a cake from Carmella's - It was a A triple chocolate brownie topped with layers of peanut butter filling and chocolate cake, finished with chocolate buttercream frosting...Yum!!! This was an outstanding cruise, great crew and perfect food for a very special occasion!!!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Afternoon Harbor Cruise on Kismet for parties up to 20: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Charleston.
How much does Private Afternoon Harbor Cruise on Kismet for parties up to 20 cost?
+
Prices start at $1549 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Charleston usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Afternoon Harbor Cruise on Kismet for parties up to 20 take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Charleston is not rushed.
Is Private Afternoon Harbor Cruise on Kismet for parties up to 20 worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 30 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Charleston, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Afternoon Harbor Cruise on Kismet for parties up to 20?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Afternoon Harbor Cruise on Kismet for parties up to 20 suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Afternoon Harbor Cruise on Kismet for parties up to 20?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Charleston can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Charleston and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Afternoon Harbor Cruise on Kismet for parties up to 20 start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Charleston within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Charleston?
+
Charleston's best experiences are small: house museum tours with an architectural historian, Gullah heritage walks, harbour sails at sunset and Lowcountry food crawls through the market district. Plantation day trips vary enormously in how honestly they handle the history, and our ranking factors that in directly. On Outty we rank every Charleston experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Historic Charleston Guided Sightseeing Walking Tour, Charleston historical walking tour with a Professor of History at The Citadel, Charleston Eco Boat Cruise with stop at Morris Island Lighthouse. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Charleston?
+
March to May and September to November, the two mild shoulder windows. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Charleston?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
