description: Step aboard the Palmetto Breeze, a 55-foot catamaran offering one of the best sunset cruises in Charleston. This lively yet laid-back evening sail combines golden-hour views, upbeat music, and a full onboard bar, creating the perfect way to unwind and celebrate at the end of the day.

Cruise through Charleston Harbor as the sun dips behind the skyline, lighting up iconic landmarks like Fort Sumter, the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, the Charleston Peninsula, and the historic USS Yorktown. With the harbor glowing at golden hour, guests often spot dolphins and coastal wildlife along the way.

This sunset sail is perfect for date nights, proposals, girls’ nights out, birthdays, and group celebrations. Families are welcome, but the vibe is social, scenic, and slightly party-forward—with music, cocktails, and conversation flowing. Think island-inspired energy, not a loud club or shots cruise.

An onboard bar offers beer, wine, hard seltzers (including CBD options), and non-alcoholic beverages. Drinks are sold à la carte and payable by credit or debit card only. Outside beverages are not permitted.
