About the Tour
THRILLER – Charleston’s only public off-shore tour boat. THRILLER
Charleston is a 43 passenger power catamaran that takes you on an off-shore adventure
as we make our way to the Morris Island Lighthouse. Erosion has caused the Morris
Island Lighthouse to be completely surrounded by water and due to its distance from
the harbor, other public tour boats do not include it in their tour. But we do,
THRILLER Charleston is built for speed and comfort and we can get you up close to
the lighthouse for a view not seen anywhere else.
THRILLER Charleston operates from the Ripley Light Marina, just left of California
Dreaming Restaurant, in Charleston. Our ride takes you out the South Channel of
the Charleston harbor as we head for the Atlantic Ocean. Feel the adrenaline pumping
as we burst out of the jetties into the open ocean while our 1000 watt stereo
system is playing some of the greatest music ever recorded. Have fun
surfing the waves with Captain Mark or Captain Mike while cruising along the South
Carolina coastline feeling the wind and sun against your face. After our up
close look at the Morris Island Lighthouse, we head back through the
jetties into the harbor and take the North Channel along the Mt. Pleasant side of
the harbor. While in the harbor, we point out all five forts that are or were in
the harbor during the Revolutionary and Civil Wars and give you some interesting
facts about each. See over 25 miles of shoreline on this 1 hour long ride. Definitely
a fun way to see some history.
Please note that if current weather conditions make the ocean too rough for us to
travel safely to the Morris Island Lighthouse, our route will change to include
a tour of the Charleston Harbor and a ride up the Cooper or Wando Rivers.
If you only do one tour in Charleston, this should be it! Combine the old with the
new on THRILLER Charleston and see Charleston in a brand new way.
