Small Business Spotlight: Charleston Harbor Tours + Events

About the Business

Charleston Harbor Tours + Events knows that sharing history doesn't have to be boring! The story of Charleston is told through an exciting narrative as their fleet of ships tour the city's harbor. Climb aboard the Carolina Belle or her companion, the Carolina Queen, for a sail past historic landmarks, to let loose on a themed cruise, or to enjoy your very own private event!
