WELCOME TO CLC CHARTERS

At CLC Charters, boating isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are. As a German American family-run business, we take pride in sharing our love for the water, Charleston’s rich history, and the Lowcountry’s natural beauty with every guest who steps aboard.

With captains bringing up to 20 years of experience navigating Charleston’s waterways, you can relax knowing your journey will be safe, smooth, and filled with insider knowledge of the area. From dolphins playing along the bow to the breathtaking backdrop of historic landmarks, every charter is designed to create memories that last a lifetime.

​

The CLC Charters Experience

We begin your adventure at the Shem Creek public boat dock, where the energy of local bars, working shrimp boats, and abundant wildlife set the tone for your trip. From there, we’ll guide you through the historic Charleston Harbor, passing by iconic sights like Fort Sumter, the USS Yorktown, the Battery, and the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge.

But the journey doesn’t stop there—we also offer a variety of customized tours:

  • Beaufort, SC Tour – A scenic ride down the Intracoastal Waterway to one of the South’s most charming historic towns.

  • Beach Tours – Escape to hidden gems like Bulls Bay and Capers Island for a day of sand, shells, and sun.

  • Sunset Cruises & Dinner Tours – Perfect for winding down, these trips offer front-row seats to Charleston’s golden skies.

Comfort Meets Adventure

Our luxurious Aquila 36 catamaran is like a “couch on the water.” Designed for both relaxation and exploration, it features:

  • Two restrooms

  • Outdoor shower

  • Air conditioning & heating

  • Ice maker & fridge

  • Spacious shaded seating

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a family outing, or just craving time on the water, we’ll make sure your experience is effortless and unforgettable.
