Definitely an experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Beautiful way to see the city, it was so peaceful. I would recommend bringing some snacks so you can make your own little experience out of it. Although there was a big group onboard there were no group interactions. Aside from a few people helping open the sails at the beginning everyone kept to themselves. You can sit anywhere so be early to pick a good spot. We got to see 1 dolphin but really the sunset and seeing the city from water was the best part.

It’s a must do in Charleston! - Fabulous sail in Charleston Harbor! The Captain and sailors were very attentive, and it was a great surprise to ask for passengers to assist. Nice beverage menu available and the entire family loved the 1.5 hours.
