Leave the car in Mt Pleasant at the Charleston Harbor Resort at Patriots Point and avoid the parking hassle. $10 all day pass allows you to come and go when you please. Water Taxis land at the Charleston Maritime Center next to the Aquarium Wharf. The water taxis make a scenic 4 mile loop around Charleston Harbor checking out dolphins on the way. Great for kids and grown-ups who just want to get on the water. « less

We took the taxi our first day in Charleston. The boat captain was very informative about the surrounding area, and gave us suggestions about what to enjoy. The skyline from the boad was beautiful and we even saw dolphins.

The views can't be beat and the crew was very friendly. Fun to take the taxi from Charleston across to the Mt. Pleasant side of the harbor for dinner or cocktails.

I have used and will continue to use Charleston Water Taxi for many reasons. I can relax while going to Charleston and enjoy the panoramic view of the city, It is easily accessible, conveniently located, the parking is limited downtown and it is an awesome way to get home from the bridge run.

We took the Charleston Water Taxi over to Patriots Point to tour the USS Yorktown and highly recommend this means of getting there. No hassles for parking, an easy walk to the pier from anywhere in the historic district of Charleston and you get a great sense of the size of the Yorktown as you near it by water. The... More

You have got to get on the water and see all the local sites from the Water Taxi. It's a wonderful relaxing ride. It's hard to look away from the beautiful sites, but make yourself watch the water because you're sure to see the dolphins. It's almost like a racing game they are playing.
