You can choose from our delicious preset menu options or let us customize a special menu for your group. We can accommodate vegetarian and gluten-free diets. When you rent the Carolina Belle or Charleston Princess, bartenders are included in that fee and are part of the crew. You can host bars, or have your guests pay for their own beverages — some groups like a special “signature cocktail” or non-alcoholic drink created for their event.

You don’t want to worry about having to set up your own catering for your harbor cruise. Sit back and relax and let us take care of the details with our popular Private Dinner Cruise Package. There is no better way to WOW your guests than by taking them out for dinner on one of America’s most picturesque harbors. See the skyline of the “Holy City” and dine and dance under the Charleston starlight.

As part of your private dinner cruise, we can work with you to assist in booking a DJ, solo musician, or full band. Our staff is also happy to assist in connecting a phone or device via bluetooth to play over our PA. We also can provide you with any A/V needs: projectors, screens, podiums, and microphones. We can also arrange for boarding photos as a fun gift to your guests and have them ready at the end of your cruise, or a CD can be sent after the event. Photographers can also be hired to capture the entire event.

We can provide an organized and inexpensive way for your group to get to a location at the same time.
