This was the best thing I spent money on while in Charleston. I'd do it again. I was expecting a loud rough riding boat. I couldn't have been more wrong. The Yanmar diesels are extremely quiet, with just a soft whistle being audible from the turbos while at speed. The catamaran hull slices through the waves and makes for an... more

We took our 2 daughters age 7 and 5 on the Thriller boat ride. They loved it !!! It was fast, fun and wet all things kids love. We really enjoyed the ride too. Next time you are in Charleston I would recommend this as a fun activity for you and your kids. more

This was an excellent trip and was well worth the money for the experience. The crew were friendly, informative and made you feel safe and secure. The hour trip was one of the highlights of my 5 year old daughters holiday in the states (excl Magic Kingdom and Seaworld!) The 55ft twin hulled speedboat goes out to Morris Island light... more

$60 for a couple. Take this ride if you have never ridden a fast boat or seen the views around Charleston, but not if you actually want to learn anything. more

Management response from
CharlestonBoater, Owner

We are sorry you did not learn anything on the tour. Our goal with the tour is to provide an enjoyable boat ride while learning some history about Charleston that we believe is not shared on other tours. If you are a history buff, you may already know these facts. Please email us, through our website, the date and time...

My husband and I won tickets at our church last summer and went at sunset. We had a great time- the salt water brushing against my face gave me a wonderful facial and Barbara's description of the Charleston sights was far more interesting than any carriage tour i have taken. We went again today with our church group and they... more

My wife & I are in our early 30's... Too old to do kiddie stuff, but too young to do old peoples stuff. We like the history of the old plantations and stuff, but if you just wanna sit back & have some fun... I highly recommend it! We saw a boring expensive plantation... but this is the piece of... more

My husband and I rode Thriller when we vacationed in Charleston last week. It was well worth the money and we had so much fun. I would recommend it to all who visit the area. The parking area is actually for the restaurant California Dreaming. Combine the two for a wonderful day! more

We just did the 7:00 p.m. evening boat tour and it was a great way to see Charleston from the sea in the evening! As a parent (41) with kids 13,12, and 10, it was great to see the historic city AND get a boat ride thrill as we went out to see the lighthouse. As Boston has the popular... more

This is "By far the best boat tour in Charleston". Capt Mark and Barb are very knowledgeable about the History of Charleston, and also provide a fun-filled hour with facts and classic rock music. I encourage everyone to take a ride on the "Thriller"... It's worth every penny !! more
