Spend four sunlit hours cruising Charleston Harbor from The Harborage Marina, glide under the Ravenel Bridge, and anchor at a quiet island for swimming or shelling.

Ride N Slide is a Charleston, South Carolina boat charter that specializes in private harbor cruises. The business offers three distinct, named trips: two four-hour private cruises (a morning 9am–1pm option and an afternoon 2pm–6pm option) and a sunset private cruise scheduled from 6:30PM–8:30PM. Each trip sails through Charleston's historic harbor and highlights photo opportunities beneath the Ravenel Bridge, with time to relax or explore a private island selected by the guest.
All listed experiences are private cruises, meaning the vessel and itinerary are reserved exclusively for the booking party. The Morning 4 Hour Private Cruise (9am–1pm) is described for daytime sightseeing and island time; the Afternoon 4 Hour Private Cruise (2pm–6pm) provides later-day harbor exploration with the same island options; and the Sunset Private Cruise (6:30PM–8:30PM) focuses on dusk views and notes the possibility of dolphin sightings. Ride N Slide operates from Charleston and emphasizes personalized itineraries, scenic photo opportunities, and flexible island stops. Booking details, passenger capacity, safety procedures, and pricing are provided directly by Ride N Slide and should be confirmed at reservation. Prospective guests seeking a private, photo-friendly maritime experience in Charleston can consider Ride N Slide's morning, afternoon, or sunset private cruises to plan a tailored harbor outing. Guests choose the private island of their choice, may bring cameras and personal items, and should consult Ride N Slide for specific accessibility, safety, and booking questions to ensure a comfortable cruise experience.
