Design Your Perfect Birthday on the Water

On this Charleston birthday party boat cruise, you’re not stuck with a rigid itinerary. You’re booking a private boat and captain, and you choose what happens during your 3–4 hours on the water.
 

Choose Your Birthday Experience:

  • Beach Birthday & Sandbar Hangout
    Cruise from Shem Creek to a local beach or sandbar where the birthday crew can swim, play, relax, and celebrate. Great for kids’ parties, teens, and families.
  • Shark Tooth & Shell-Hunting Adventure
    Turn the birthday into a treasure hunt. We’ll beach the boat where guests can look for shark teeth, shells, and other Lowcountry treasures. Perfect for curious kids (and adults who never grew up).
  • Dolphin Watching & Harbor Sights
    Spend part of your day cruising local waters to look for bottlenose dolphins, birds, and Charleston’s coastal landmarks. Combine with beach time or sunset for an all-ages crowd pleaser.
  • Sunset Birthday Cruise
    Time your trip for golden hour and let the birthday celebration roll right into sunset. Think relaxed playlist, light snacks, drinks, and the best views in Charleston from the water.
  • Light Fishing Add-On
    For the birthday guest who loves fishing, we can spend part of the trip targeting inshore species (conditions and regulations depending). Fish a little, celebrate a lot.
  • Skeet Shooting / Cast & Blast for Adults
    For 21+ adult groups, ask about adding skeet shooting / “cast and blast” style fun—shooting clays safely off the boat in approved areas, weather and conditions permitting. This is an optional add-on and must be arranged in advance.
  • Food, Drinks & Chilled Party Vibes
    Bring your own food, cake, and drinks, or work with us on recommendations. We’ll handle the boating—you focus on celebrating.
  • Have Your Own Idea? Tell Us.
    If you have a unique birthday idea (games, themes, surprise stops, etc.), tell us in the booking notes. If it’s safe and legal on the water, we’ll try to make it happen.

3-Hour vs. 4-Hour Birthday Party Boat Options

Every group is different, so we keep it simple:
  • 3-Hour Birthday Party Boat Cruise
    Great for younger kids or groups that want a shorter outing. You can usually fit:
    • A scenic cruise from Shem Creek
    • One main activity (beach/shark teeth, dolphins, or sunset focus)
    • Time for cake, photos, and a swim (conditions allowing)
  • 4-Hour Birthday Party Boat Cruise
    Perfect for older kids, teens, and adult groups that want to do more:
    • Beach + shark teeth and dolphin watching
    • Fishing + sunset
    • Beach time + skeet shooting for adult groups
    • More time to eat, drink, float, and hang out
Pricing: Custom trips are priced based on trip length, group size, and add-ons (like fishing or skeet shooting). When you inquire or book, we’ll confirm the exact rate for your birthday plan.
