Indigo has been central to South Carolina's history since it was first introduced to the then-colony 1744. Over the remainder of the 18th century, indigo would take second only to rice among South Carolina’s most valuable exports. The vibrant blue colorant yielded by the indigo plant was in high demand for the British textile industry, and American growers shipped over one million pounds of indigo to England just before the American Revolution. Thousands – perhaps tens of thousands – of laborers were responsible for the crop’s cultivation and production during this period. Today, the cultural nod to this history and population is visible along this region’s Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage. 

Relax on your private horse drawn carriage as the guide takes you onto some of the most beautiful streets of Charleston. Learn about our history as a city and as a nation as you pass by beautiful antebellum homes. As you approach Battery Street, feast your eyes on famed Battery Row, known for its stately homes. The Battery is host to a line of towering waterfront mansions that represent the height of Charleston wealth and opulence. Shaded by large oak trees and lined with Palmetto Trees that overlook the Charleston Harbor, homes here range in origin from 1735 to 1920. Each tour and guide is different, so even those who have been here before will see and hear new morsels of the Holy City's history. 

The Palmetto Breeze offers the perfect blend of sightseeing and fun. The catamaran features a spacious wooden deck. There is covered seating by the “barefoot” bar and moveable deck chairs forward. She has 2 bathrooms below and speakers throughout. 

Guests will enjoy beer & wine bar service on board and will be accompanied by a docent to share history and stories of the city as they sail through the Charleston Harbor.

Learn the tricks of crabbing with a Charleston native who’s been doing it for years. First, you'll meet at a dock on a beautiful river to master the delicate art of throwing a cast net. You can even set bait and fish... it’s as hands-on as you’d like! Don’t worry about having the right skills; there’ll be plenty of activities available for everyone. The freshest seafood is what you can catch yourself, so expect to nab a crab, shrimp, and a variety of fish, too.
