Our standard harbor cruise is 2-hours.
However, if you would like to keep the fun going, you have the option to customize and add additional time ($450/hr) Cruises that are 3 or more hours have time to anchor off, blow up floats, and soak in the Charleston sun! Please contact us directly via email, text, or phone to customize your cabana cruise!
*Feel free to bring any of your favorite drinks and snacks on board. The best snacks are grazing snacks, like charcuterie boards.
*We provide a cooler with ice, cups, and bottled water on every cruise. If you choose to extend your trip to swim, we also provide floats and towels on board included.
*Any person consuming adult beverages must be 21+ of age.
Get your shared playlist ready! We have a Bluetooth speaker system to get the vibe going! We also have a karaoke machine to sing your heart out!
3/4 of the boat has an overhead structure to provide shade from the sun. We also have roll down clear windows to keep us dry in the event of a shower.
It’s your boat, wear whatever you like!
We suggest checking the weather forecast and dressing according to your comfort level. We do have towels and blankets on board as well.
Please don’t bring:
_Spray sunscreen, it ruins surfaces
_Anything that will blow away
_Anything devastating to lose as we cannot be responsible for lost/damaged/overboard belongings.
_Napkins / paper plates, they tend to blow away
*This is random, but salsa is actually a really bad idea LOL
We cannot wait to meet you! Please have your rideshare drop you off 5 minutes before your charter start time in front of the California Dreaming sign at the picnic tables.
A crew member will greet you and bring you down the dock to get the party started!
Yes! We have a super cute bathroom on board to make sure everyone is comfortable!

*Weather Cancellation Policy:
We know a little rain won’t spoil the fun! Our boat features an overhead structure and clear roll down windows to keep you dry during showers. Charleston weather can change quickly, but our experienced captain will prioritize safety above all else. If it’s safe to proceed, even with some rain, we’ll set sail! However, your safety is our top concern, and if the captain decides to cancel the charter due to weather, you have options. You can reschedule for a sunny day if available, receive a refund, or get a literal rain check (gift card) for future use. We want to make it as convenient as possible for you.
We only pick up and drop off at Ripley Light Marina, conveniently located a 5–10-minute Uber from downtown & 15-minute Uber from Shem Creek and Folly Beach.
We often get asked if we can drop off at Shem Creek, which is a fantastic destination, especially if you want to keep the cabana vibes going. However, crossing the entire harbor to get there takes over an hour by boat, whereas it’s only a 15-minute Uber ride.
Gratuity is not included in the price of your cruise. At the end of your cruise, you will have the opportunity to tip your amazing crew directly (Industry standard is 18%-20%)
They accept cash or one group Venmo payment.
Luckily, it’s a 100% private boat, and we wont leave without our guests of honor.
Of course, it cuts into your cruising time as we have to stay on time for the next booked charter.
During peak season Ubers can be hit or miss.
With larger groups we often suggest chartering a luxury coach bus – one of our absolute favorites is: https://coastlinecoaches.com/ if you contact them, let them know you are a Cabana guest as they extend an additional discount to our guests.
Well very lucky for you, you have that many friends!
Unlucky for us, because the US Coast Guard has approved us for 16-maximum passengers.
We hope everyone on your guest list can make it, but if anything changes, we are here for you!
