The Exclusive Extended (2 - Hour Private Tour) is a private two-hour boat charter that launches from 56 Ashley Pointe Dr Slip B26 in Charleston, South Carolina. It puts you on the water of Charleston Harbor and nearby tidal creeks for a simple, social way to see the city from salt air and open sky. This private cruise is straightforward: your group (up to 19 guests) brings the food, playlists, and party plans while a professional crew handles navigation and safety. The vessel includes a restroom and flexible timing—choose a 2-hour baseline with options to extend—and the company asks guests to arrive about 15 minutes early for check-in at the dock. The experience suits birthdays, bachelor(ette) celebrations, small corporate outings, or families who want a private window onto the harbor without the crowds. What makes this charter special is its immediacy. Instead of fighting crowded public tours, you steer the mood: breakfast cruises at sunrise, chilled sunset runs with low light on marsh grasses, or afternoon trips that catch dolphins playing near the boat. The harbor itself defines the scene—wide tidal channels, brackish marsh edges, and working waterfronts—so expect changing light, bobbing sailboats, and waterfowl such as egrets and pelicans along the shoreline. The crew can suggest scenic loops and quieter channels where the architecture of the city and the pattern of rice-era marshlands feel most visible from the water. Practical details: maximum capacity is 19, gratuity is not included, and cancellation follows a tiered refund policy with full refund outside three weeks and no refund within seven days. Bring what you want to eat and drink, dress for wind and spray, and plan photos around golden hour for the best results. Accessibility information and exact pricing should be confirmed at booking via the supplied referral link. Local context matters: Charleston’s working harbor has shaped commerce and culture for centuries, and experiencing it by private charter highlights both active maritime life and quiet natural edges. Environmentally, keep single-use plastic to a minimum and pack out any trash—the operators expect guests to respect the waterways and local wildlife. For visitors based in Charleston, this short private charter is an efficient way to celebrate, get outside, and see the coastal geography from a new angle.
