Where we ride
Around Charleston
Shem Creek
Restaurant row by the water. Pull up for sunset dining over dolphin-dotted marshes.
The sandbar
A tidal raft-up spot. Anchor off, wade in, and float the afternoon away.
Morris Island Lighthouse
The iconic 1876 lighthouse offshore, Charleston's most photographed landmark.
Fort Sumter
Out at the harbor mouth where the Civil War began. History best seen from the water.
The Ravenel Bridge
Cruise beneath the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge's cables as the sky turns gold.
The Battery & harbor
Antebellum mansions along the seawall, seen the way they were meant to be, from offshore.
Further out
Capers Island · Boneyard Beach
Undeveloped barrier island north of the harbor, weathered driftwood skeletons and empty sand.
Bowens Island
Down the Folly River, a Lowcountry institution for oysters straight off the dock.
Bulls Bay & Bulls Island
A longer run north into the Cape Romain refuge. Wild, remote, untouched.
Kiawah & Seabrook
South-end barrier islands, calm creeks, dolphins, and quiet resort coastline.
