Such a great charter! Coty took us to a little cove with a sandy beach. Prefect for a relaxing day with all of our friends for my bachelorette. Coty was a great captain and took care of all our needs. They had a nice cooler on board which was very convenient since we were just visiting SC. Highly recommend booking!

I booked Stoked Party Boats for a boat day for my sisters bachelorette/birthday weekend and it was the best decision I made! They made it so easy to book and did all the heavy lifting of trying to find a boat to comfortably fit everyone. They also provided a cooler full of ice and waters. We had Captain Coty and he was the BEST! He took us to a little island and showed us the most adorable dolphins! He was super personable and helpful. And please make sure to bring him an Italian sub with banana peppers! Captains get hungry too!!

So much fun! Matt did a great job of finding us a private beach to pull up at and was a super relaxing ride. Perfect for bachelorette if you don’t want the “party boat” experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long before sunset should we arrive for the cruise?
Your 2 Hour Sunset Cruise is timed perfectly to catch the best light and colors, so you will depart at the scheduled time and be on the water throughout the entire sunset spectacle. The cruise lasts the full two hours, giving you time to get settled, cruise the harbor, and experience the complete sunset from golden hour through the color show and into twilight. Just arrive at your scheduled departure time ready to party!
While we can not guarantee dolphin sightings since they are wild animals, dolphins are frequently spotted in Charleston Harbor, especially during golden hour when they are active and playful. Many sunset cruise guests report seeing dolphins jumping and playing near the boat.
The 2 Hour Sunset Cruise ($750) is focused specifically on the sunset experience, you are on the water during golden hour and the main color show. The 3.5 Hour Boat Tour ($925) gives you more time to explore Charleston Harbor, check out Shem Creek, stop at beaches, and still catch the sunset. The 3.5 hour option is popular with bachelorette parties who want a full Charleston Harbor experience plus the sunset, with just enough time to get the party started and still make dinner reservations.
Summer is peak season for Charleston sunset cruises because the warm weather and later sunsets create ideal conditions for celebrating on the water. This means time slots fill up quickly, especially for weekends and popular dates. Bachelorette parties, group celebrations, and family outings all compete for the best sunset times. Booking early, particularly for summer months, ensures you get your preferred date and departure time rather than missing out or settling for less ideal slots.
Absolutely! This is your private boat, so you control the soundtrack to your sunset celebration. Bring a portable speaker and play whatever music matches your group’s vibe, whether that’s upbeat party music, chill sunset vibes, or your carefully curated bachelorette playlist.
