Why Charleston bachelorettes book the Double Shot
Every pontoon in the harbor charges by the head and packs you in with strangers' schedules. A Dockside bachelorette charter is the opposite: you rent the whole yacht, up to 13 aboard, and your captain is hired under a separate agreement, your own USCG-licensed captain or one off the captain wall. You leave from 33 Lockwood Drive downtown, cruise The Battery and the Ravenel Bridge, anchor off at the sandbar, and the Captain's Toast happens at golden hour because every captain on that wall knows exactly when that is.
