Large Party Boat Charters
If you are looking for a nicer more stylish charter boat for your large party than look no further than the motor yacht Kismet. Kismet is a great boat for large parties with a maximum capacity of 23 passengers and 2 crew. Kismet is perfect for families, bachelorette/batchelor parties, birthday parties, and corporate team building activities. Kismet is a very comfortable boat with a well protected seating area for year round cruising. In the summer months we can anchor near a nice beach and inflate our rafts for swimming fun. If you are looking for a weekend booking in the summer, be sure to plan well ahead as we run over 200 bachelorette charters annually, they book up the weekends months in advance.

Cruise for 2 hours or up to 4 hours
4 hour charters on Kismet receive a 15% Discount off the hourly rate!
The online times are in two hour increments, if you wish to have a longer charter, for each hour added we depart 1 hour earlier.
Swimming parties prefer to have at least 3 hours, if you are a bachelor/ bachelorette or birthday party or even a family fun day, you will definitely want 3 or more hours. The two hour trips are very quick and we only get about 1 hour at anchor, for every hour added we can spend another hour relaxing and having fun on the floats. Weekends book up in full several months out, because charters are back to back we cannot extend your trip the day of, we must book your time at the time of booking. A fully refundable deposit holds your time!
For charters longer than two hours please call 843-557-7403, a 50% fully refundable deposit can be put down to hold the time. A base gratuity of 16% and tax will be added to all Kismet Charters.

If you wish to swim during the summer or are planning a party on the boat, we would highly recommend 3 or 4 hours. A two hour trip gives us only 45 minutes at anchor to play in the water, each hour you add gives us an hour longer to play. Remember a 4 hour trip gets a 15% discount on the entire charter fee. We include giant inflatable Sun Chill water hammocks, each hammock allows up to 6 people to lounge in the water without having to swim. Two water hammocks are provided for each charter. We also follow all safety guidelines and have two watchful crew keeping you safe.
-
All charter fees are fully refundable up to 7 days prior to departure for any reason. Just give us a call and we will issue a refund. Within 7 days there is a 50% refund. There is no refund within 24 hours and you are responsible for the entire charter fee even if you only paid the deposit.
Trip Protection
Purchasing trip protection allows you to cancel or reschedule your cruise at any time for any reason up to 1 Hour prior to trip departure. You will be reimbursed for the full amount of the charter, less the cost of trip protection, booking and processing fees.
Cancelation due to weather is at the discretion of the captain at the time of departure. We do not base our charters off the extended forecast and always show up to the boat, 9 times out of 10 if the forecast says rain, it will be sunny and perfect to go sailing. We cancel less than 1% of our charters due to foul weather. If the captain chooses to cancel due to unsafe or unpleasant weather you will be given the option to reschedule or receive a full refund.
