Before you go

  • Arrive 15 minutes early at The Harborage at Ashley Marina, 33 Lockwood Dr. We leave 5 minutes after departure time. Parking and directions
  • It’s cooler and breezier on the water than on land, so bring a light layer.
  • Want food? Catering can be delivered right to the boat.
  • Cancellations are only for weather, at the captain’s discretion; we’ll reschedule you or refund. No-shows are charged in full.
