Rivers first, harbor next
From Daniel Island, boats can follow the Cooper River down under the Ravenel Bridge and into Charleston Harbor, or explore the Wando River's marsh and creeks. Passing under the bridge on the way to the harbor is a highlight for many groups.
Convenient for local companies and residents
Daniel Island has a large business community and easy access to I-526, which makes it practical for corporate outings and for local groups who don't want to fight downtown parking.
Fewer departures, so plan ahead
Fewer charter operators are based on Daniel Island than at Shem Creek or downtown. If the location is important to you, say so in your request. If you're flexible, we can also look at nearby departure points.
What affects the price
Each operator sets its own rates. These are the factors that usually make the biggest difference for this kind of trip:
- Reaching the harbor from Daniel Island takes a little more time than from downtown.
- Longer routes may call for a 3-hour booking.
- Weekday corporate outings may have more availability.
- Ask about gratuity and fees.
