Located in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, Palmetto Breeze offers a distinctive way to experience Charleston’s iconic harbor through private charters aboard a 55-foot luxury catamaran. This sleek vessel accommodates up to 100 guests, making it an ideal setting for weddings, corporate events, family celebrations, or any gathering that calls for an uncommon backdrop and an elevated vibe.

The spacious decks feature cushioned seating and shaded areas, allowing guests to relax or mingle while taking in sweeping views of Charleston’s skyline, the Ravenel Bridge’s contemporary span, historic Fort Sumter’s battlements, and even the retired USS Yorktown aircraft carrier. With an expert crew at the helm, every detail—from departure to docking—is handled smoothly, allowing hosts to focus on their guests and goals.
Catering options range from light bites to full meals courtesy of Waters Edge Restaurant, accommodating dietary preferences including vegetarian and gluten-free choices. The flexible bar service offers local beers, wines, sodas, and thoughtfully curated non-alcoholic options—hard liquor is not permitted—fitting varied event styles from casual to chic.
