There are several clickable buttons located on this page that allow you to view the list of Public Cruises that are available.  Most of our calendar is filled with Private Charters, so we fit in Public Cruises around those and during most holidays.

Public Cruises are public events planned by us, but attended by you, friends, family, or clients.  Public Cruise dates and times vary based on holidays, local happenings, and our private charter calendar.  Menus, times & itineraries are predetermined and unique for each specific date.  Since each public cruise is unique they are treated as separate events, so tickets cannot be transferred from one event to another. Public Cruises are offered all year around.

The Spirit of Lake Murray is the ONLY Dinner & Reception Tour Yacht on Lake Murray near Columbia, South Carolina
