Q&A

Q: Is there a weight limit for the schooner cruise?

A: There isn't a specific weight limit for the schooner itself, but they do ask guests to be mindful of balance and safety. It's a fairly large ship, so as long as you can get on and off safely, you should be fine. If you have any concerns, you can always call the provider ahead of time to discuss!

Q: What should I wear for the cruise? Is it casual or more dressy?

A: It's pretty casual! I'd recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes since you'll be on a boat. A light jacket might be nice if the weather is cool or windy. You’ll definitely want to bring sunglasses and sunscreen too—don’t forget to enjoy that view without getting burnt!

Q: How reliable is the weather for the cruise? What happens if it rains?

A: The cruise runs rain or shine, but if it's really bad weather, they’ll usually reschedule you for another day. Just keep an eye on the forecast leading up to your trip. If you need to change the date, they’re pretty accommodating—just give them a call!

Thinking about gifting the Afternoon Schooner Sightseeing Dolphin Cruise!

Hey everyone! I’m considering getting this cruise for my parents as a gift since they’re visiting Charleston next month. The idea of them seeing dolphins and sailing past Fort Sumter sounds amazing! Has anyone done this? Any tips on what I should know before booking?

Anyone know how early I should arrive for the cruise?

I’m planning to take my girlfriend on the Afternoon Schooner Cruise next week. Just trying to figure out when we should get there. Do they have a strict boarding time? I want to make sure we don’t miss it!
