Dads Memorial
We booked the charter to spread my Dads ashes with my family. The crew was amazing, they were friendly, courteous and respectful of my Dads memorial. We would definetly use them again for any event and I highly recommend them.

Bachelorette Party Highlight!!
We had a great time with Quent and Haley on the Kismet! Was truly one of the highlights of our trip. They were knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. The instructions they gave were clear on where to meet and the owner was flexible with some scheduling mishaps. We loved our swim time floating on the floaties they had for us (and catching the refill drinks they threw us!) and jamming out to our music on the boat. Quent also makes a fire dirty martini & has some fun stories if you're a Bravo fan. Haley was awesome and so helpful. I would definitely recommend!!!

Fun excursion with the best crew!!
Loved sailing with Captain Scott and First Mate, Madi on the morning Kismet tour! The boat was beautiful, the trip was so fun and everything was great. We had a group of 12 girls and they had everything we needed - and were so kind! I would recommend to anyone looking for a fun and beautiful adventure!!! Ps-they even slowed down so we could see the dolphin near the harbor - beyond accommodating!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Morning Excursions on Yacht Kismet up to 20 passengers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Charleston.
How much does Private Morning Excursions on Yacht Kismet up to 20 passengers 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 Morning Excursions on Yacht Kismet up to 20 passengers 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 Morning Excursions on Yacht Kismet up to 20 passengers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 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 Morning Excursions on Yacht Kismet up to 20 passengers?
+
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 Morning Excursions on Yacht Kismet up to 20 passengers 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 Morning Excursions on Yacht Kismet up to 20 passengers?
+
Around 6 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 Morning Excursions on Yacht Kismet up to 20 passengers 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.
