CHARLESTON LIVE MUSIC BOAT TOUR FAQS

We are conveniently located at the Bristol Marina, next to downtown Charleston.  The address for parking and drop-off is 185 Lockwood Dr, Charleston, SC 29403.  It is called Brittle Bank Park and is right across from the tall Marriott Hotel. 

 

Once you park and are looking at the water, head towards the left past the stack of row boats and walk through the gated access.  Keep going straight until you see the Friki Tiki.  It can be a little confusing so please call or text if you have any problems finding it.

 

Please try to be 15-20 minutes early to give yourself plenty of time. If you are on a public or semi-private tour, we will leave at the start of the reservation. Refunds will not be given if you miss the boat so please try to get there early!

 

Every cruise comes with coolers, ice, waters, snacks (assortment of chips), table/cups, games, bathroom, sound system, and floats & mats (May 1 – Sept 30 , if conditions allow).  We also have add-ons like catering, live music, and DJ available upon request!  

Groups are welcome to bring out food as well as other beverages (just no hard liquor please). We do not have plates or utensils so please bring them if needed!  Swimming is allowed during our daytime summer cruises so towels and swimsuits are never a bad idea. We definitely recommend sunscreen or any other protective sun wear as half the boat is open and Charleston sun is hot!  There is plenty of dry storage on the boat, so there’s no problem bringing your phones or other personal items.

Smoking and hard liquor are not allowed on the boat. 

If you are bringing out beers and seltzers, please try to buy cans.  Wine bottles are fine.

Unfortunately, Swimming is not offered on our public tour or our sunset tours.  

Gratuity is not included in the price of the charter.  If you would like to leave anything for the crew, they accept cash and Venmo at the end of each boat tour.
