Cooper River

Where History Meets the Horizon

The Cooper River is Charleston’s gateway to the past and present. As you cruise along its broad, glimmering waters, you’ll pass under the stunning Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, offering one of the most photographed skyline views in South Carolina. The city’s stately steeples, harbor forts, and the iconic USS Yorktown come into view, creating an unforgettable blend of charm and grandeur.

Highlights:

Views of downtown Charleston & the Ravenel Bridge
Fort Sumter & Castle Pinckney from the water
Civil War history and historic shipping routes
Occasional large naval or container ships for a dramatic backdrop
Perfect for photography, sightseeing, and evening skyline cruises

Wando River

Tranquility, Tides & Timeless Nature

Tucked away from the bustle of the harbor, the Wando River winds through quiet, undeveloped marshland and offers some of the most serene views in the Lowcountry. Here, egrets wade through reeds, fish jump in the distance, and the rhythm of the water slows to a peaceful pace. It’s the ideal stretch for a private romantic cruise or a rejuvenating escape into nature.

Highlights:

  • Natural marshland and wildlife viewing

  • Peaceful, crowd-free cruising

  • Birdwatching: pelicans, ospreys, herons

  • Calm waters, perfect for sipping wine or unwinding with music

  • Ideal for private couples’ trips or mindfulness outings

Shem Creek

Charleston’s Lively Lowcountry Hotspot

Welcome to the heartbeat of waterfront fun. Shem Creek is a festive blend of nature and nightlife, known for its working shrimp boats, bustling boardwalks, and dockside restaurants. Whether you’re looking to dock and grab a drink, wave at diners from the deck, or watch dolphins swim past kayakers, Shem Creek offers an up-close and energetic experience you won’t find anywhere else.

Highlights:

  • Dockside restaurants and rooftop bars

  • Local shrimp boats and bustling marina life

  • Frequent dolphin sightings at close range

  • Sunset views over creekfront buildings and boats

  • Great place to drop anchor and celebrate with your crew
