Charleston Sunset Cruises

Best Views on the Harbor

End your day in Charleston where the view is best—on the water. Whether you choose the spacious, two-deck Carolina Belle or the wind-powered charm of the tall ship Schooner Pride, our sunset tours deliver front-row seats to Charleston Harbor’s golden hour. Take in scenic vistas of Fort Sumter, Patriots Point, and the Ravenel Bridge while keeping an eye out for dolphins playing along the wake.

Sunset Harbor Tour

Enjoy our top-rated, 90-minute harbor tour. Cruising aboard the 80-foot Carolina Belle, you’ll enjoy panoramic sunset views of Charleston’s most iconic landmarks—including Fort Sumter, the Battery, and the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge. Your professional USCG licensed captain will narrate history, sights, and facts about the Charleston Harbor as you relax in the climate-controlled salon or observation decks.

Sunset Sail

Aboard the 84-foot Schooner Pride, a traditional three-masted tall ship, you’ll glide peacefully across the water as the sun dips below the horizon. Feel the coastal breeze, sip your favorite drink, and take in views of the Holy City skyline wrapped in warm pastel hues. While this is not a narrated cruise, our crew is happy to answer questions and point out landmarks and you’re welcome to help raise and trim the sails or you may sit back and enjoy the ride!
