About this docked boat rental
Under new ownership as of May 2017. Located in the Heart of Charleston's Historic District, Southern Comfort is docked at the Charleston City Marina and less than 50 feet from our gated parking lot.
We are 3 blocks from the Historic Battery just past the Coast Guard Station, and six "city blocks" from Meeting Street and the Market Area.
From the magnificent architectural homes of the Battery, and the finest restaurants in the south, to the art and antique shops, Charleston is a place unlike any other.
PLEASE NOTE IT IS EXTREMELY EXPENSE TO MAINTAIN A BOAT SUCH AS THIS. Therefore the boat books for TWO people. There is an additional guest charge per person up to eight people after the first two. This makes the boat approachable for a couple as well as very economical for larger groups to enjoy the boat. Remember what your parents taught you.. if it’s to good to be true. It probably is. By booking the boat in this way it makes it reasonable for all parties involved. We love sharing out boating experience with people and try very hard to upkeep it. It’s a fantastic way to spend time in Charleston and a very unique experience that most people will not find anywhere else.

Great location and great marina. They do free appetizers and drinks on Tuesdays and Fridays and Captain Dave was very responsive whenever we called with a question or anything.

Southern Comfort is a romantic dream and an adventurous way to visit Charleston. However we were surprised that the boat owner was not present as stated and we did not get a boat tour. The boat entrance was a surprise as we have been on many yachts that you enter from a side swinging door from the swim platform but this boat has narrow steep stairs (about 8) to enter so be aware with luggage it's difficult. The owner was responsive with every need we had but the situation was challenging because the the thermostats were removed so when each room needed adjustments we were unable to do so causing some to be comfortable and others to be cold. The boat is a rental but there was junk piled up in the helm area and we feel that the whole boat should be clean.The extra supplies were scattered around the boat and there was no directions or rental manual except to take out the trash. We were told to only push the "green button" in the head. The bow head had no green button and the toilet was very sluggish, so the person in that room had to use other heads. Docked boats make noise and that bothered some on the boat as the bilge pump, air conditioning etc. work 24/7, if you are a light sleeper be aware. Overall the boat is nice and we enjoyed sitting out on the deck. Of note: Parking is 22 dollars for 24 hours but if you leave you have to start your 24 hours all over.

6 / 10Average·May 2026
Upon arrival at the Marina, the host was tardy and greeted us with a conversation on his cell phone. We followed him to the location of the boat carrying our luggage. The host introduced himself as David and provided a brief tour of the vessel, demonstrating how to flush the toilets. Initially, the boat appeared orderly, but the host only delivered a lecture on the misbehavior of previous guests.That evening, we discovered the boat to be filthy and disorganized. Additionally, we were informed that the top floor, which featured an outdoor seating area, was unavailable. There was an unpleasant odor emanating from all the closets and hallways of the boat. The host failed to provide us with the WiFi password or any passes for parking, which cost 14 per day.In summary, the experience was unsatisfactory, and I would not recommend it for a second stay.
