Localização
Scenic coastal waterways
Descrição
Charleston is located on the stretch of Southeastern US coastline that is known as the Lowcountry, and this region is home to some of the most fantastically diverse nature and wildlife around!
The ecosystem here is a combination of salt and freshwater habitats that flow into and around one another with the tides, and this environment creates unique interactions between offshore and inshore animals as they all compete for space and food.
Your experienced captain will guide you through coastal wetlands out towards the “Barrier Islands” that protect the harbor and mainland from the winds and tides of the Mid Atlantic, giving you a first hand and up close view of this spectacular habitat!
Pick up at Shem Creek park
Our pick-up and drop off point for all charters and tours is the day-dock at Shem Creek Park at Shrimp Boat Ln, Mt Pleasant, SC 29464
Shem Creek is one of the liveliest spots in Charleston! Traditionally where Charleston’s Commercial Fishing & Shrimping fleet docks, Shem Creek remains one of the most vibrant waterways in the area.
It’s a great place for us to start, because launching the boat right there amongst the Shrimpers will give you an immediate feel for how important water culture is to the local community here in Charleston.
And it’s a great place to finish, because there are so many great restaurants and bars to choose from in easy walking distance down the boardwalk!
Shem Creek Park is a public park so always remember to be respectful to the space and to other guests enjoying the marsh-walk and docks.
There is plenty of free parking. There are also air conditioned public restrooms in the parking area at the start of the Marsh Walk & boardwalk.
As you arrive at the lot, park immediately on your right and walk on the boardwalk through the creek towards the second gazebo.
Your boat will be at the dock below that 2nd gazebo.
Shem Creek Park is 20 minutes from downtown Charleston and 10-15 minutes from Isle of Palms and Sullivan’s Island.
The boardwalk runs a few hundred meters through the marsh out to a small fishing pier with a floating dock on Shem Creek.
Your boat and captain will pick you up at the floating dock.
We strive to maintain good communication with our clients throughout the process, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns locating the boat or with passenger loading.
Cancellation policy
Being that we operate on the water, we keep a constant eye on the weather and are flexible with weather related rescheduling, and cancellation if absolutely necessary.
However, once we get into the heat of summer here in Charleston, afternoon showers and the norm, and we will operate around them as best we can without altering scheduled tours. We will keep an open line of communication with all clients to discuss forecasts and options.
Fees will be applied to non-weather related cancellations recieved after the 48hr cutoff.
