Word on the street
What locals are saying
Sandlapper Water Tours is a locally-owned, well-regarded Charleston staple operating out of the Maritime Center, consistently praised for its knowledgeable crew and intimate boat size that avoids the overcrowded feel of larger operators. The sunset dolphin cruise is the clear crowd favorite, with dolphin sightings treated as a near-given highlight, while the haunted harbor ghost tour gets more polarized reviews — heavily guide-dependent, with expert author Ed Macy drawing raves but other departures feeling underwhelming. The business is recommended by local peers and draws steady bachelorette and private charter business, though reviewers flag the mandatory 30-minute early arrival policy as a friction point, particularly in summer heat.
