What locals are saying
High Tide Harbor Tours runs small-group private charters out of West Ashley's Ripley Point, with Captain Dan as the operation's clear centerpiece — praised consistently for his scheduling flexibility, historical commentary, and willingness to double as a trip photographer. The flagship vessel, a 2004 SeaRay 420 Sundancer Cruiser freshly restored in 2024, tops out at 20 knots and carries up to six guests in air-conditioned comfort, making it a genuinely private experience rather than a headcount-maximizing harbor boat. The sweet spot is the sunset run under the Ravenel Bridge, which draws bachelorette parties and anniversary couples in equal measure — a niche High Tide has leaned into without losing the feel of a personally operated charter.
