Catering & Bar

You can choose from our delicious preset menu options or let us customize a special menu for your group. We can accommodate vegetarian and gluten-free diets. When you rent the Carolina Belle or Charleston Princess, bartenders are included in that fee and are part of the crew. You can host bars, or have your guests pay for their own beverages — some groups like a special “signature cocktail” or non-alcoholic drink created for their event.
