Dinner Cruises in Charleston SC

Come aboard the Carolina Queen. We have partnered again this year with local blues legend, Shrimp City Slim for a fantastic sunset cruise featuring amazing live music, breathtaking views of the "Holy City" and Charleston's best BBQ from Fiery Ron's Home Team BBQ! This cruise is perfect for date night, groups of friends, group outings, or any occasion.

Gary Erwin (aka Shrimp City Slim) is a keyboard player/singer/songwriter based in Charleston, SC. This year, 2015, he is celebrating twenty-eight years as a full-time professional musician. Shrimp City Slim has released 8 CDs to date and plays throughout the Southeast and overseas. A new CD entitled "Star Marina" was released February 12, 2013.
While aboard the Carolina Queen listening to the blues, you'll get close-up sunset views of the Holy City's most famous and charming sights, including:

• Fort Sumter: One of Charleston's most popular landmarks, where the first shots of the Civil War were fired
• Confederate and Union army Forts Moultrie and Johnson
• USS Yorktown: the famous World War II “Fighting Lady”
• St. Michael’s Episcopal Church: A survivor of both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, whose steeple was painted black so as not to be an easy target
• Stately homes on the Battery: Symbols of Southern elegance and perseverance
• the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge: A state of the art span that accommodates the largest ships in the world
