About this tour

Settle in for an evening on Charleston Harbor, where live music, city views, and a generous barbecue dinner come together aboard the Charleston Princess. This 150-minute Charleston Sunset Blues & BBQ Dinner Cruise pairs a relaxed harbor voyage with the flavors of a Southern cookout.

The buffet features pulled pork, smoked chicken, macaroni and cheese, coleslaw, buns, sauces, tea, and water. Local and regional musicians perform live, with musical styles varying throughout the season. As the boat cruises the harbor, enjoy views of Charleston, often called the Holy City. A cash bar is available onboard, with alcoholic drinks for purchase.

The cruise departs from SeaBreeze Marina on Immigration Street. Children must be accompanied by an adult. The vessel is not ADA compliant, and access to the boat uses a ramp that can become steeper depending on the tide; there is no elevator to the dining salon or restrooms.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 3.57 from 201 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Charleston
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 3.4.
