Hello!

You’ve found Charleston’s original outdoor outfitter—and we’re so glad you did. For over 30 years, we’ve been paddling the creeks, rivers, bays, and estuaries of the South Carolina coast, learning every twist and turn along the way.

Our love for this region runs deep. We created a map to help others access these waters—and we launched the Coastal Expeditions Foundation to protect the wild places we explore.

A portion of every tour and rental—and 100% of retail proceeds—supports the foundation’s conservation and education programs.

Join us for daily adventures from five unique outposts across the South Carolina coast.
