The boat slips away from the dock and the city exhales: the skyline narrows, the marshes widen, and the harbor begins to write its own evening. On this guided sunset cruise out of Charleston, passengers trade sidewalks for salt air and watch the sun lower behind live oaks and historic brick facades while dolphins thread the wake.
