Itinerary
Fort Sumter National Monument
As we exit Shem Creek you'll see Fort Sumter, the famed site where the first shots of the Civil War were fired. This historic fortress sits proudly in the harbor, offering a glimpse into America’s past. Whether you’re a history buff or simply enjoying the ride, seeing Fort Sumter from the water is a powerful reminder of Charleston’s historical significance.
Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum
We’ll sail past the massive USS Yorktown, an aircraft carrier that played a key role in World War II. Now permanently docked at Patriots Point, this impressive ship is a sight to behold from the water. It’s an extraordinary photo opportunity, offering a sense of the immense scale and historical importance of the vessel. The Yorktown is a proud piece of American naval history, and seeing it from the deck of the Palmetto Breeze adds a unique dimension to your Charleston experience.
Charleston
You’ll glide past historic downtown Charleston Peninsula, with its charming skyline providing a stunning backdrop to your journey. The iconic buildings of the Charleston Peninsula, with their pastel colors and historic architecture, will be on full display from the water—offering a unique perspective on the city’s rich history and Southern charm.
Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge
You’ll pass by the towering Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, an iconic cable-stayed bridge that connects downtown Charleston to Mount Pleasant. The bridge’s modern design and towering height make it a striking feature of the city’s landscape, and passing beneath it gives you a true sense of its grandeur. This is one of the most memorable parts of the sail, with incredible views from below that are perfect for photos. Whether during the day or as the sun sets, the Ravenel Bridge is a breathtaking sight from the water.
