How wet will we get?

There is a chance of getting wet on every ride we take, but the driving force behind “how wet” you get is how windy it is. The wind blows spray off of the waves in the harbor and off shore and propels it into the boat. If there is little wind, then a little bit of spray will be coming into the boat and mostly in the back of the boat which sits lower than the front. If it is really windy  then everyone will get wet from spray. Plastic Ponchos can be purchased on the boat for $1.00 if desired. Cell Phones, Cameras and other water sensitive items should be placed in plastic bags, left ashore or handed to the crew for safe storage.

How fast does it go?

We do not publicize the speed as not to intimidate the squeamish or disappoint the "Speed Freaks" who may have unrealistic expectations. The boat is the fastest public tour boat in the harbor and goes fast enough to allow you to view distant sites such as Morris Island Lighthouse in an hour’s time.

Can I bring a camera?

There are plenty of opportunities for great photos. We stop at the light house so people can take pictures. Make sure you have a cover such as a plastic bag so it is protected from any salt spray.

Can we bring food or drinks onto the boat?

For public tours, we only allow bottled water but on a private charter, we allow the party to bring on a cooler. We do not allow food on the boat.

How bumpy is the ride?

The Thriller boat is a power catamaran, meaning it has two hulls instead of one. The double hull design allows the boat to cut through waves instead of pounding over them thus ensuring a very comfortable ride.

Does the ride always go off-shore into the ocean?

If the ocean is too rough, Thriller will stay in protected waterways such as the Charleston Harbor, the Cooper and Wando Rivers or the Intracoastal Waterway.
