Our boat is equipped with a covered deck and clear roll-down windows to keep you comfortable and dry during showers. Charleston weather can change quickly, but our experienced captain always puts safety first.
If conditions are safe, we’ll still set sail even in rain. If the captain determines that weather makes it unsafe to cruise, you’ll have options:
*Reschedule for another available time/date
*Receive a full refund
*Or take a “rain check” gift card for future use
We’ll always do our best to make it easy, safe, and fun for everyone on board!
(Cancellations are rare – in the last year we have only cancelled a total of 5 trips)
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.
We love that you have that many friends!
Unfortunately, the US Coast Guard has approved us for a maximum of 16-passengers.
