the best Charleston party boats for a bachelorette party or girls' trip!
kay + co presents: Our favorite party boats for your charleston bachelorette
Updated for the 2025 season!
If you’re heading to Charleston for a bachelorette party, a day on the water is a must!
Charleston has tons of options for boats, and they’re all amazing — but we’ve got a few favorites that we’ve sent our clients to time + again! They’re all very different, so wanted to outline them all in the hopes that it helps you narrow down your options!
All of the below links are affiliate links, which means that Kay + Co makes a small commission when you book, at no cost to you. We really appreciate you booking through our links so that we can continue to operate with our small team!
Option 1: party with Charleston tiki tours
This 32-passenger party boat in Charleston will be the highlight of your bachelorette weekend! From drinking games to dance parties to chilling on a float (cocktail in hand of course), this booze cruise around Charleston is a must-do for your big celebration. Book a private tour for just your party, or split the boat with another bach for double the fun. Our girls always give us rave reviews about the Tiki Hut!
If you’ve got a larger group, the Tiki Hut is one of the only options in Charleston that can accommodate this many — so take note!
option 2: pedal pub with saltwater cycle
If a pedal pub on the water is your vibe, then Saltwater Cycle is for you! The boat can fit up to 16 guests and will cruise around for a little under 2 hours. You can book the entire boat or reserve individual seats to join another fun group! Fun fact: the party boat is both solar powered and cycle-powered…”never let the party get in the way of making sure our oceans are clean!”
option 3: a private sunset cruise or dolphin watch sail folly
Hop aboard one of Sail Folly’s gorgeous catamarans for a two or three hour sail along Folly Beach! A cooler is provided, so all you have to bring is drinks + sunscreen; if you’d like, the captain can stop along one of Folly’s isolated islands so your group can float + swim. We love that this tour leaves right from Center Street on Folly, so you can grab brunch or a frozen drink at one of Folly’s many great bars before or after your cruise.
option 4: cruise with carolina cabana club
Experience bachelorette party perfection with the Carolina Cabana Club! Carolina Cabana Club’s boat is the epitome of Insta-worthy with a one-of-a-kind custom design, inspired by the chic ambiance of Beverly Hills Hotel cabanas, making it picture-perfect for your memorable occasion.
