About Charleston

Established in 1670, Charleston is packed with over 350 years of history. Some of this history, such as Fort Sumter, can only be accessed via Charleston's waterways. The city has a subtropical climate, ensuring warm weather almost year-round. The sunny summers and mild winters are perfect for boating, no matter the season. A plethora of wildlife calls our coasts home. It is not uncommon to have dolphins escort our charters throughout Charleston's waters.

About our master captains

Steve Woodard  has been around boats all of his life, owning his first sail boat at the tender age of 11. In 2008, he founded  Charleston Charter and Yacht, a family business. He proudly brought luxurious, customized, private charters to the Lowcountry for the first time. Steve has owned 13 boats throughout the years and has been a Master Captain 100 tons for 16 years. His skill, expertise, and experience in maneuvering a variety of vessels ensures you are in extremely capable and caring hands.

Paul Zobel was born in Charleston, spending much of his formative years on the waters around the area. He has had a captains license for over forty years, owning and piloting boats from Miami to NY for many of them. He was Captain of the Port for Dewees Island for ten years, piloting their ferry boats. Capt. Charleston Charter and Yacht is incredibly proud to have Cpt. Paul continuing work on the water with us.

Pete DeBoer is a native of Seattle, Washington and grew up in a boating family. Because he is a retired U.S. Coast Guard officer, his experience in operating boats and ships covers the spectrum from 14 to 378 feet. He has served and worked in the Pacific, Caribbean, Mediterranean, Bering Sea, and the Atlantic - from Trinidad to Martha’s Vineyard. Multitalented, Pete is a singer-songwriter that enjoys playing the guitar. His novel, Heave To , loosely parallels his 3 years of drug enforcement operations on a Charleston based cutter in the early 80’s. When Pete is your captain, it's guaranteed you will probably enjoy a sea story or two.

“OM” was named after the sound that is said to be the cosmic eraser of a troubled mind.  It literally means everything and nothing at all.  OM has been said to be the sound you would hear if you could settle your mind enough to tune into the vibrations of the universe.  Sailing on OM will certainly bring some added relaxation to your vacation.

Rent a Boat in Charleston

With more than 95,000 miles of coastline, there are a lot of great places to be a boater in the United States. Charleston, South Carolina, for example. One of the most beautiful cities in America, Charleston has plenty of beachfront on the Atlantic Ocean but is also divided by a number of large and small waterways snaking in and around the city’s many islands, including the Stono River, Ashley River, and Cooper River.

There is plenty of great saltwater and freshwater fishing, lots of places to explore by boat, and plenty of room for wakeboarding, or jetskiing, or whatever you love. With several cool winter months, Charleston can give visitors a four-season feeling, but when the sun is shining, it’s hard to imagine a better place to own a powerboat or sailboat. 

What To Know

Charleston has a very big boating community represented by just about any kind of vessel you could want. Center consoles and dayboats have become very common on most waters, but while in Charleston you are also likely to see - 

Easy access to deep Atlantic waters make big sportfish, convertibles, and larger center consoles a common site offshore, but luxury yachts and mid-level cruisers are also plentiful. 

Lots of places to explore, fish, or swim inshore and upriver make pontoon boats, runabouts, deck boats, and bowriders popular, but you will also find lots of flats skiffs and center consoles inshore as well. 

Safety Requirements :

All states have some sort of regulations for boaters and South Carolina is no different. According to the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) website - 

In South Carolina, boat operators under age 16 must complete a boating course approved by the SCDNR to operate a boat or personal watercraft with a 15 h.p. motor or greater, unless accompanied by an adult age 18 years or older.

Any person under age 12 must wear a US Coast Guard approved Type I, II, III, or V PFD when on board a class “A” (less than 16 ft. long) boat.

Visit the S.C. DNR ERegulations website to learn more. 

Where to dock your boat or meet your rental :

Charleston City Marina Dock

Charleston Harbor Marina

Seabreeze Marina

Shem Creek Boat Landing

Remleys Point Public Boat Landing

Weather Conditions

Charleston has long summers with lots of sun but the days can be hot and humid. Summer highs can hit the low 90s but usually stay closer to 85. Winter temperatures rarely get close to freezing, and Spring and Fall conditions are usually comfortable with lots of 60- and 70-degree days.

Late Spring and early Fall are great times to visit Charleston when temperatures are warm enough to enjoy the water but not hot enough to make air conditioning sound like a better option. 

The Charleston area can see some rare hurricane activity late in the summer, so visitors should always be prepared for the possibility and have a plan just in case. 

Avg. Temperature High : July is usually the hottest month with temps near 90°F

Avg. Temperature Low : January is the coolest month with temps close to 40°F

Avg. Water Temperatures in and around Charleston :

79°F to 83°F in the Summer (June, July, August)

63°F to 75°F in Spring (March, April, May)

70°F to 80°F in Fall (September, October, November)

63°F to 67°F in Winter (December, January, February)

Things to Do in Charleston by Boat

With the Atlantic’s deep water just outside the harbor, the many rivers feeding into Charleston Harbor, and a wide variety of reefs, flats, and salt marshes, there is no shortage of fishing opportunities in this historic city. Near the coast, buoys, shipwrecks, and reefs hold fish like grouper, cobia, and redfish, while offshore trips can yield tasty mahi-mahi or spectacular sailfish. When the weather doesn’t align with your plans, stay in the rivers and harbor and catch redfish, speckled trout, and black drum. 

Something is biting year-round so check with the local pros and fish reports for the best time to chase your favorite species. Although July through September are considered the best months to fish, there is no “off-season” in Charleston.

Target species: Cobia, Redfish, Snapper, Kingfish, Amberjack, Grouper, and King Mackerel

Seasonality: May through September are usually the best months

Boat selection: Flats skiffs, center consoles, aluminum fishing boats, pontoon boats

Boat selection: Center consoles, runabouts, cruisers, pontoon boats

Target species: mahi-mahi, cobia, sailfish, sheepshead, king mackerel, amberjack, wahoo, tuna, grouper, and snapper

Boat selection: Sportfish, convertibles, big center consoles, cruisers

Visit Morris Island

Accessible only by boat, historic Morris Island sits just south of the entrance to Charleston Harbor. The 840-acre island was home to several strategic events during the American Civil War, along with nearby Fort Sumter.

Today, Morris Island features beautiful natural beaches with lots of shells, wildlife, and little else. There are no developments, facilities, or shops on the island, making it a remote getaway with few people around. 

At the southeastern end of the island, 1600 feet from the shoreline, the beautiful and historic Morris Island lighthouse has been watching over the waters around Charleston since 1876. However, the light is off-limits to the public. The water eroding the lighthouse’s perch has made it impossible to get close on foot and dangerous to try. There are plenty of great viewing and photo spots on the main body of Morris Island. 

With no conveniences, it’s important to remember to bring plenty of water, food, and sunscreen and stay hydrated in the summer sun.

Cruise Shem Creek and the Mount Pleasant Waterfront

Located on the northwestern edge of Charleston Harbor inland, Shem Creek winds three miles from the Charleston Harbor and along the Mount Pleasant waterfront until civilization falls away and leaves nothing but wetlands and wildlife. 

The creek winds behind beautiful private homes, the local shrimp fleet, and provides access to dine and dock at several restaurants. Stop for dinner or cruise further up the creek in smaller vessels. 

Pull up to the dock at Shem Creek Park, walk the boardwalk, and be treated to beautiful views of Charleston Harbor and the natural wetlands. The town of Mount Pleasant is a short walk from the water, putting shops, eateries, and other attractions within easy reach of the docks.

Explore the Low Country

South of Charleston, there is a series of islands and waterways along the Atlantic coast known as the Low Country. Much of it unspoiled and natural, the 125-mile-long group of islands between Charleston and Savannah, GA is filled with wildlife and beauty with countless creeks and rivers to explore. 

Swim, fish, or just cruise in and explore somewhere new, and also enjoy the gorgeous waterways and countless coves, marshes, and wetlands. The Low Country is a beautiful getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. 

Nearby Marinas : St. Johns Yacht Harbor, Ripley Light Marina

Lat/Long :  32.54621 N, -80.37046 W

Head out to the Atlantic Ocean

Cruise east out of Charleston Harbor and you are in the deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Following the coast offshore, there’s a good chance that a pod of dolphin will come play in your boat’s wake or follow along with you just for fun. South, cruise along the South Carolina Low Country and explore the rivers and creeks that lead inland or anchor up and spend some time on the beach at Morris Island or Kiawah Island. Fish, dive, or just drift in the sun for a perfect day on the ocean. 

Remember - the summer sun can be brutal so bring lots of water, snacks, sunscreen, and some shade.

Captains Jen and Janet were amazing...professional and laid back, they made us all feel at home and totally relaxed. A must-do in Charleston!

Recent reviews in charleston.

As previous reviews have stated, this day was such a unique and incredible experience, we did the three hour tour which I think is a perfect amount of time, the inside of the yacht was spotless and clean, there’s plenty of space to relax inside, and all eight of us girls had ample room on the front of the boat to relax and sightsee. I would absolutely recommend this experience, Mike and his crew were so accommodating, right on time, and extremely respectful, they really wanted us to have a good time and we did! Super cool way to spend the afternoon. You won’t be disappointed!

This was the best trip we could have ever asked for on our bachelorette trip! Gabriel truly made it wonderful! He was super attentive and acted as much more than just the captain. He was our photographer, bartender, and dj! If you are looking to book a boat and captain, this is your guy! Couldn’t recommend more! We spotted multiple dolphins and had a wonderful time on the sand bar. Gabriel has all the speakers, games, and floats, making it a super easy trip for us!

35' Private Party Pontoon; Bathroom & Top Deck; 2-4 Hr; Stop to Swim, Water Mat

I went on this boat for a combined Bach trip with my fiance and all our friends. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, they felt like part of the group! We blasted music and partied and had the best time. Bathroom gets 5.5/5 stars, the best nautical bathroom you’ll ever use. Highly recommend!!!

We had 7 people in our group and Jennifer was our captain. She was amazing. So helpful, kind, and sweet! We went to a place to hunt for sharks teeth and found some great ones! She was so knowledgeable and professional but so fun! She made our boat ride so enjoyable. 💯

Party Boat, Bachelorette Party, Dolphin Cruise, Folly Beach, South Carolina

We had the best time boating with Gabriel while celebrating a couple 40th Birthdays! Gabriel was easy to work with and did everything he could to make sure we had a great day on the water. We also saw tons of dolphins - highly recommend booking with Gabriel! Special shoutout to Henry for the assist!

Luxury Tug Boat Harbour cruises

We had an outstanding experience with Capt. Chad and his Ranger Tug. The boat is comfortable, enclosed, well equipped, just the right size and nimble in the harbor. Chad is easy going, knows what he is doing and listens to what you want to do. We definitely recommend him and plan to return.
