Our group had an amazing time. We thought we booked the other cruise (that was PACKED) and was pleasantly surprised to find we were on this boat. Seating was perfect. Music was pleasant. Mark and Brian were amazing hosts. The cruise itself was the perfect start of a beautiful weekend with friends. We definitely recommend THIS boat and wish them a thriving business ❤️

We had an amazing time with Captain Cocktails Cruises. Capt Sunshine and our First mate provided a great tour of the area and made our evening very enjoyable. A great way to see Charleston from the water and have some fun as well. Highly recommended to sail with Captain Cocktails!! Thanks for a great trip
Great time, amazing crew

Sunshine and Hunt were so much fun and absolutely made this trip a highlight for our group. We've done many, many Charleston cruises on boats of all sizes, but our entire group (ages 18 - 80) agreed this one was the most fun. We will absolutely repeat this experience!
Great crew, great view!

It’s a relaxing boat ride through the harbor with a great view of the sunset. They offer bottled water and it has a restroom on the boat. The driver was very friendly and made everyone feel relaxed to enjoy the ride.
