Chocolate Milk Charters
Your own private yacht. Just you and up to 3 guests. Step aboard Chocolate Milk for an intimate Charleston cruise -- no crowds, no fixed routes, no strangers. Just the harbor,
the sunset, and the people who matter most.
Chocolate Milk Charters is Charleston's most intimate yacht experience -- a private cruise for up to 4 guests aboard a 46-foot luxury yacht. Cruise Charleston Harbor and the Intracoastal Waterway past Fort Sumter, Rainbow Row, the Battery, and the Ravenel Bridge. Bring your own food and drinks, play your music, and let Captain Mike customize your route. Every charter is exclusively yours -- no shared groups, no rigid schedule, no crowds.
Perfect for Every Occasion
With just 4 guests max, every cruise feels personal. Celebrate a birthday with your closest people. Toast an anniversary with champagne on the water. Pop the question at sunset with no one else around. Or simply spend a quiet afternoon with someone you love, watching Charleston drift by from the deck of your own private yacht. Planning a bachelorette? We open the yacht to up to 6 guests -- because some celebrations need the whole crew.
YOUR YACHT
Chocolate Milk is a 46-foot Regal Sport Coupe -- spacious enough to feel luxurious, intimate enough to feel like your own. With just 4 guests aboard, you'll have the run of the yacht: two private staterooms, two full bathrooms, a wet bar, grill, two refrigerators, air conditioning, a Bluetooth sound system, and sunbathing pads on both the bow and stern. It's not a party boat. It's your private floating retreat.
YOUR CAPTAIN
Captain Mike McKenzie and his wife Carol don't just run Chocolate Milk Charters -- they host every cruise personally. Mike is a licensed captain and proud U.S. Air Force veteran, with years of service that included Air Force One. That same discipline, attention to detail, and warmth shapes every charter. Whether he's adjusting the route for a better sunset view or helping you set up a surprise proposal, Captain Mike treats every guest like family. Because with just 4 people aboard, that's exactly what it feels like.
​
Make it truly yours. Every charter includes Captain Mike at the helm. You also have the option to add a first mate for onboard assistance -- or skip the first mate entirely and have the whole yacht to yourselves. Without a first mate, you have full access to the galley kitchen with all cooking and serving utensils, both refrigerators, the grill, and every corner of the boat. Cook a meal together, mix drinks at the wet bar, lounge wherever you want -- it's your floating home for the day. No crew hovering, no schedule to keep. Just you, the water, and total freedom.
