My husband and I just rode Thriller yesterday and had a BLAST! Captain Tripp and Barbara were super nice! The history was great and the ride was fast! Catching air from time to time was soooo fun! We did get wet. I would suggest a jacket and possibly sunglasses for the saltwater spray. Seeing dolphins was an added bonus! We... More

This is a great way to relax, enjoy good music, and have some fun while seeing several lighthouses and other landmarks. It is very safe but also very fast and therefore breezy; wear a jacket or long sleeves, escpecially kids.

Had a blast...the crew was great from safety to questions regarding the boat and history of Charleston. For the captain being a country western guy we thought we would of heard some on the tour. The only complaint, do not interupt "Bruce" . You should know that Jersey Girl. Thanks for the fun. We will do it again, next time... More

Great way for the kids to enjoy some Charleston History. The ride was fun, the history interesting, and the guides were very friendly and personable. A great time was had by the whole family! ( wear a jacket in early April, it can get a little chilly)

This was a wonderful experience and a great way to see the sights along the charleston harbor. You also get to go out to the Atlantic Ocean. The boat goes really fast and you get a little wet but it was so much fun!!! I would definetly recommend this to anyone looking for a thrill ride!!!!

We were looking for something different from the usual holiday outlings, and Sleigh Ride delivered! The captain did a great job creating an exciting, but comfortable ride. Seeing historic Charleston from the water was something very special! We passed by decorated boats, saw wildlife and beautiful homes. What a fun way to enjoy the holiday season!

I took my daughter on the sleigh ride the other night and we had a great time. It was beautiful and a very comfortable ride. We thought the music was so much fun and went so well with the tour. This is the south so our history is what it is, and I thought it was interesting. Our Captain and... More

We did the sleigh ride, and had a great time. Weather was beautiful, and the history of "Christmas in Charleston" was very informative and interesting. It was very kid friendly, we took our daughter, and she had a great time. The captain was very courteous and careful, and the mate was helpful and friendly. If you have small children, the... More

ok I will start by describing the audience - about 15 people including 4 under the age of six and 3 over the age of 65, all caucasian. We weren't asking for much for $45 - just a little christmas music and a few christmas lights. Did you know that marilyn manson and lil' kim do christmas songs? I didn't... More

Wow, you really didn't like the tour. I'm sorry if our choice of Christmas music wasn't your taste. I chose all songs from the Very Special Christmas album that came out in 1987 to benefit the Special Olympics. I also chose Elvis and Trans Siberian Orchestra songs. If you are a traditionalist, then the renditions of Christmas songs by the... More

One of the most exciting rides I've taken in a long time! When the boat picks up speed - wow! Be prepared to get wet - head to toe. If you have anything that you din't want to get wet - put it in a ziploc bag, or leave it in your trunk. And, if you're traveling, plan your stay... More
