Rent a Boat in Charleston, SC
Steepled skylines, Revolutionary forts, and bottlenose-dolphin pods set Charleston Harbor apart. One outing can cover Morris Island’s lighthouse beach, rainbow-row sunsets, and bull-redfish strikes at the jetties.
What to know
The most popular boat rental styles in Charleston include:
- Center & bay boats ideal for creek redfish, trout, and jetty drum.
- Pontoons & deck boats perfect for sandbar picnics at Morris Island and Battery-front sunset cruises.
Fast currents at the harbor entrance favor skippers who know sandbar shifts and wind-against-tide chop.
Safety regulations
- Boating License/Education Rules: Solo operators born after July 1, 2007 need a South Carolina boater card.
