What you can expect

Feed your need for speed in your own F13 speedboat. This guided tour escorts you out along Charleston Harbor, with tour narration coming to you through a communication system mounted in each boat.

Start the tour with instructions on boating basics and safe driving before getting in your own speedboat. Seats are comfortable, and there is nothing obstructing your view, so get ready for a thrilling ride as your guide leads the way from the dock.

Feel the wind in your hair and splashes from the water as you cruise between sights along the harbor coastline. Meanwhile, listen in on the narration provided by your knowledgeable guide as you pass The Battery, USS Yorktown, the South Carolina Aquarium, and all the wildlife that call Charleston Harbor home. During one of the many stops along the way, you're able to swap seats so everyone gets a chance to drive.
