Pretty high liability for someone to just enjoy some food. Looks like you'll be paying an insured captain or going on that charter. I sure wouldn't take that liability.
You may want to DM Capt Rick on here and see what he can set up for you, would be much better than trying to find someone to just drive yall around....
A friend was telling me that when he started boating, he went through some sort of boating safety/instructional course. I have never owned a boat, so I may be off base here.
If you are going to charter a boat they first make sure you are competent enough to handle it. How many people are you taking out? Do you have to IMPRESS them with a big fancy "yacht" or would they have just as much fun in something smaller? It probably wouldn't take you long to learn how to handle something like an Aquasport or a Mako. They are about 18 to 22 feet long generally with outboard engines. They have fairly high top sides and are pretty dry. They don't have cabins or heads (toilets) on board. They are fun for picnics and for getting from point A to point B quickly.
Did you already call this place? Isle of Palms - Boat Rentals
It looks like it would run around $300 for a half day or so....
Taking them out on the schooner Pride would be a lot more impressive and enjoyable (at least it would be for someone like me) because you'd be sailing on an 80+ foot schooner. It is also probably less expensive at $31 per person and a lot less stressful than chartering a boat if you don't have any boat handling experience. http://www.zerve.com/SailThePride.
