About
Charleston Harbor Tours and the Carolina Belle offer a unique and exciting way to celebrate your wedding on the water! What better way to celebrate with your family and friends than under the twinkling stars on the beautiful Charleston Harbor. The Carolina Belle is docked at The Charleston Maritime Center downtown just a 1/2 block south of the SC Aquarium. The Belle is the perfect venue for your rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception or luncheon. We can help plan your event down to every last detail or give you the freedom to work with the vendors of your choice. We also have a smaller vessel, the Schooner Pride. The Pride is an authenitc, 3 masted, tall-ship modeled after the historic coastal trading schooners. She is docked at the Aquarium Wharf at 360 Concord Street. The Pride is perfect for smaller receptions and informal wedding ceremonies. The Pride is an awe inspiring vessel. Imagine a breathtaking sunset over the "holy city" as you glide along the water mingling with pelicans, gulls and dolphins being guided by the wind. You may visit our website, www.schoonerpride.com for more information.
