    Captain Mark seems to be the star of the show here, though you'll find equally enthusiastic shoutouts for captains Sunshine, Mike, and crew members Hunt, Jeb, and Austin. Reviewers consistently mention how welcoming and fun the captains are, creating that perfect balance of professional and party-ready. They're not just driving the boat—they're sharing local history, pointing out Outer Banks filming locations, and apparently have great taste in Charleston restaurants and bars to recommend. The vibe is clearly laid-back and celebratory. Bachelorette parties make up a huge chunk of these reviews, and every single one raves about how the crew made the bride feel special while keeping the energy high. The sunset cruises get particular love for timing and gorgeous harbor views. People appreciate that the company's flexible too, working with groups when weather forces last-minute changes. If you're looking for a fun, social boat experience in Charleston with captains who actually engage with guests rather than just steering, this seems like a solid pick.

    My friend booked a three hour cruise with Captain Cocktail Cruises for her bachelorette. We had two awesome Captains, Mark & Sky. We had the best time! Mark and Sky gave us a little history of the area and even stopped the boat so we could see wild dolphins. The boat has a cool raft to use and tanning on the roof is so fun! The bathroom was a plus! There was a big cooler of fresh ice and we played music on the WiFi boat speaker. They had games and a bunch of fun things on the boat. I highly suggest you book with them!
