Kismet Private Yacht Charters

Explore Charleston’s Harbor Aboard our beautiful Yacht, Kismet!

Kismet has been the #1 go to for large parties in Charleston since 2017.   Perfect for groups up to 23 passengers or less.  A fully Coast Guard Certified vessel, we follow all laws and therefore no sketchy bareboat contracts are required to be legal.  Every charter is hosted by a professional master captain and first mate who cater to your every need.

Where do we go?

A typical 2 hour harbor cruise will pass by Charleston landmarks such as The Battery, Waterfront Park, Historic Castle Pinckney, Yorktown Aircraft Carrier, under the Arthur Ravanel JR Bridge, or out to Fort Sumter where the Civil War Began. You will usually see dolphins playing in the bow wake or feeding in the shallows. If you are an avid bird watcher there are many species to be seen.  Add additional time to see more or go swimming.

Most Bachelorette or birthday swim parties forgo the history and sometimes cruise into Shem Creek or head over to the anchorage and spend the entire time swimming.

Best Swimming Party on the Harbor!

Swimming and Floats: During the spring, summer and fall when the water can reach temperatures of 86 degrees, the mornings and early afternoons are calm and less chance of foul weather, this is the best time for swimming! We provide the amazing Sun Chill water hammocks that can hold your entire group safely, you can just lounge in the water with no exertion and without swimming.  You will want to add more time to your charter if you wish to swim, 3 hours is recommended.  The boat has a swim platform with ladder for easy access on an off the boat.  We deploy up to 3 large rafts and additional safety equipment like safety rings are on standby at all times. We have a 100% safety record!
