Nice trip, but we were expecting a nicer scenery. It was just OK. Never saw any dolphins. The description was misleading as we were under the impression that we could choose which service we wanted, but in the end, they are all one and the same. Back and forth from MT. Pleasant to Charleston, with a slight detour to go...

My family rode the water taxi today. Scott and Herman were the operators. They were very courteous, informative and on time. Highly recommended this to visitors. Easy to park and short walk into historic Charleston.

My husband and I have been enjoying this fun way to go from Patriot's Point to downtown Charleston for several years and we always look forward to our next trip to that area so that we can ride the taxi. It's an inexpensive way to go from the Harbor Resort area to downtown. If you are staying in the Mt....

The water taxi ride was uneventful. The crew were helpful if passengers had questions about where to eat, etc. The taxi was very reliable and showed up according to the schedule on the card.

The water taxi was a great pleasant way to get a ride across the Cooper River in Charleston. It made stops at Charleston, the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier, and the Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina. We took it to the Resort for $10 roundtrip each (you can take unlimited trips for that $10 if you felt like staying on the...

We took the water taxi over to Patriot's Point and back. The guys managing the boat were friendly and the boat ride was smooth. On our return journey the driver went out of his way to show us dolphins swimming in the bay. A very convenient and scenic way to travel.

My wife and I were there this past April (2013). We took the water taxi over to Patriot's Point. The water taxi was on time and everyone was very friendly. We saw a couple of dolphins, lots of bird life and had a great view of the bridge and the aircraft carrier.

We took the water taxi from our hotel in Mount Pleasant on Monday (4/8/13) morning. For $10 we each bought a roundtrip ticket. The taxi arrived on time, and left within a few minutes. The water was calm, making for a smooth ride - though a container ship did sail up the Cooper River, creating something of a wake; the...

Read the reviews and sounded great..so we went. It was a fine trip and nice to see the bridge and the USS York. The people were pleasant and easy to deal with. We did not see dolphins which I understand it is not guaranteed. I would not consider this a tour. Questions were answered if asked.
