Does anybody recommend a place around Charleston, SC to rent a Boston Whaler-type boat for a few days in May ? Maybe around 16 foot, something to ride around in the bay/harbor.
I used to live there. My employer (The Citadel) had boats for faculty and students to rent but not the public. Also had my own boat for a while. That harbor can be rough at times - I fished more often out behind Folly Beach and way up the Ashley than I did in the harbor. May is a good time to be there - not too hot yet!
I'm no expert in this area but my daughters Father-In-Law(to Be) works at the Cape Romain Marine on Rt 17 in McClellanville which is just outside of Charleston. They might rent you something for a few days or at least point you in the right direction.
