Explore Charleston Harbor’s haunted history on a 1.5-hour ghost cruise. Discover eerie tales and stunning sights aboard the Palmetto catamaran.
- Sandlapper Water Tours - The Palmetto is a 45-foot US Coast Guard Certified powered catamaran that accommodates up to 49 passengers. All tours begin and end at the Charleston Maritime Center, located at 10 Wharfside Street, just half a block from the SC Aquarium in Downtown Charleston. We request that all guests arrive 30 minutes before departure and check in at our blue and white ticket booth on the far left dock when facing the water. Due to ongoing construction, parking is not available at the Charleston Maritime Center. However, off-street parking is accessible, and a city parking garage is nearby the Aquarium. Clean restrooms are available at the Maritime Center, and there is also a bathroom on board. Soft drinks, water, beer, wine, and prepackaged snacks are available for purchase on board.
Once on board and seated, our mate will provide a brief safety briefing before we depart from the dock. Then, we invite you to relax and enjoy an evening cruise along Charleston’s waterways. Charleston’s forts, houses, and ships are central to many of the South’s most famous ghost stories. Join us to explore sites that are inaccessible by foot. Feel the cool breeze of Charleston Harbor and listen to tales of lost fortunes, pirate ships, and tragic deaths as you ride Charleston’s dark waves. Experience the captivating horror brought by the Holy City’s pirates, wars, and storms, both past and present.
For spine-chilling experiences and haunted sights, Charleston is unparalleled, being one of the most haunted cities in America.
