Step aboard a 50-foot catamaran on a bright Charleston morning and feel the harbor pull you out of the city’s hum. The deck rocks gently beneath your feet, bubbles clink in flutes from the self-serve mimosa bar, and the Ravenel Bridge rises like a modern arch ahead. For two hours the Palmetto Breeze threads the waterways between Shem Creek and Patriots Point, offering panoramic views and salt air that pushes conversation into easy rhythms.
