About Salty Dragon Expedtions
Salty Dragon Expeditions was built for people who want to experience Charleston from the water in a more personal way. Instead of a crowded group tour, we offer private charters designed for small groups who want to relax, explore, and enjoy a memorable day on the water.
Based out of Shem Creek in Mount Pleasant, Salty Dragon Expeditions gives guests easy access to Charleston Harbor, nearby barrier islands, and local fishing waters. Whether you are visiting the area or you live here and want a different kind of day outdoors, our goal is simple: make your time on the water easy, enjoyable, and worth talking about later.

Meet Capt Rob
Capt. Rob is a USCG-certified captain, veteran business owner, and experienced boater with a deep appreciation for Charleston’s waterways. He brings local knowledge, a focus on safety, and a laid-back approach that helps guests feel comfortable from the moment they step aboard.
Every trip is guided with care, professionalism, and flexibility. Whether you are looking for a scenic harbor cruise, or an island outing, Capt. Rob works to create an experience that feels personal instead of scripted.
