Glow Party Boat Night Cruise on Murrells Inlet Salt Marshes | Boat Tour | Events

At twilight the GLOW Party Party Boat slips away from Murrells Inlet’s low-slung docks and cuts a slow, deliberate arc across the Intracoastal Waterway. This one-hour evening cruise offers a short, social spin on the salt marshes—perfect for families and small groups who want something lively but low-commitment. The experience departs from Murrells Inlet, SC, meeting point provided at Murrells Inlet, and runs aboard a small charter limited to fifteen passengers, so the vibe is intimate rather than anonymous.

On warm nights the shoreline glows with reflected pinpricks of houses and the steady lamps along the MarshWalk. Natural highlights include wide salt marshes, winding creeks carved into pale Carolina mud, and the chance to sight nocturnal shorebirds and passing fishing boats. The GLOW Party Boat leans into atmosphere: bring a cooler, choose your own playlist, and enjoy the skyline as gulls wheel overhead. The short duration — roughly one hour — makes it a flexible option for families, couples, and visitors who plan dinner afterward at the inlet’s seafood restaurants.

This cruise stands out because it trades long-day logistics for low-fuss spectacle. A small-group limit keeps decks uncrowded and conversation easy; the BYOB policy and casual boarding make it feel more like a private gathering than a tourist ferry. Practical details: bring photo ID for passengers 21 and up, and arrive a few minutes early to load quickly. The boat is ideal as an after-dinner activity or a way to preview the coastal environment before exploring nearby Huntington Beach State Park or the MarshWalk on foot.

The natural setting is quintessential South Carolina lowcountry — expansive marsh grass, oystercatchers, occasional dolphin silhouettes, and an inland waterway carved from estuarine tides. Watch for fishing skiffs returning with the night’s haul and for the rhythm of the ebb that sculpts the shoreline. Cultural notes: Murrells Inlet began as a working fishing community and now mixes that maritime history with a lively dining scene, so a night cruise is both recreation and a window into local life.

Why pick this trip? If you want a short, scenic outing that is family-friendly, social, and easy to fit into an evening, the GLOW Party Party Boat hits the mark. It’s a brisk, sensory ride through salt marsh light and coastal air that showcases Murrells Inlet’s marine character without demanding a whole day.

Because boats operate nightly, check local tide times before booking; winds above 20 mph or lightning cancel cruises. The small group cap means bookings often fill on summer weekends and holiday fireworks—reserve online using the referral link. For families, nighttime lights and short duration keep kids comfortable; for adults, BYOB and a lively deck atmosphere make it an easy celebration or date-night pick.
