Private Charter: The Watertoy Party Boat

This private charter with Captain Cocktail Cruises gives your group exclusive use of a luxury powered pontoon on the waters around Charleston. Departing from Shem Creek in Mount Pleasant, you'll cruise the harbor with views of downtown Charleston, the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, Fort Sumter, and the USS Yorktown. The boat seats up to 22 guests and is run by a licensed USCG captain and professional crew.

Onboard you'll find cushioned seating, an open deck, a hard-top shade covering about a third of the boat, a bathroom, and a Bluetooth surround sound system so you can play your own playlist. Coolers with ice and bottled water are provided, and BYOB is welcome (no glass bottles). On 3- and 4-hour charters, you'll anchor at a scenic cove where you can swim, relax, and float on the oversized water mat, along with floats and party games. Sunset cruises are included at no additional cost.

The charter is designed for celebrations, with bachelorette parties, birthdays, and milestone events among the most common groups. Because it's a private booking, the entire boat is yours with no shared guests. Plan to arrive 20 to 30 minutes before departure at the Water's Edge Restaurant dock, where boarding begins about 15 to 20 minutes prior. The boat is not wheelchair accessible; please call ahead to discuss any mobility needs.
