Charleston Harbor Tours

Charleston Harbor Tours is discounting its Blues & BBQ Harbor Cruises. For $39.95 the Carolina Belle hosts guests every other Thursday for a two-hour sunset cruise of Charleston's historic harbor.

Leaving port from the Charleston Maritime Center, guests on the Carolina Belle enjoy close-up views of Charleston's stately homes along the Battery as well as pass historical sights such as Fort Sumter, where the first shots of the civil war were fired. Other historic views include Forts Moultrie and Johnson, St. Michael's Episcopal Church, and the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge.

The blues artist Shrimp City Slim and his band will be aboard the ship to entertain guests.

Included in the ticket price is access to a barbecue buffet catered by Fiery Ron's Home Team BBQ. The buffet includes Southern favorites like pulled pork, barbeque chicken collard greens, green beans, mac and cheese, and red rice.
