Great day in the harbor! - We had friends in from out of town and were looking for an unusual way to spend the afternoon. We chartered with Charleston Sailing Charters. The weather forecast was not ideal but we took off from the dock. Our Captain Glen & mate Grace were extremely courtious and professional. We will most definitely charter again with them in the near future. This was a great experience and we look forward to sailing again- Dee & Jami Grimes

Senior citizens can easily sail too! - We had a wonderful time sailing on the Mystique! Both Captain Scott and Mate Sam we’re incredibly kind to help us get my 103 yr old Granddaddy on and off the boat so that he could enjoy one more sailing trip. They were very attentive, knew local history, and spent extra time with us. I highly recommend Sailing with them!

ALOHA, Captain Scott!! 🤓 - Our family of 4 (mom, dad, and 2 sons- ages 11 and 14) recently traveled to Charleston for vacation and took a private two-hour boat cruise on the Mystique. Our sailors were Captain Scott and First Mate Will. What an amazing time we had! The sailors were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly experts at sailing. We felt safe and all agreed that this was a highlight of our whole vacation. Captain Scott being able to bond with our oldest son about technology, computers, and math was the icing on the cake for us. We highly recommend this experience for others and wouldn’t hesitate to book again when/if we travel to Charleston!

A Charleston must do! - We had a wonderful experience and this was a beautiful boat. Captain Scott and Holly were the best and educated us about sailing during our trip. We even got to see dolphins and it was so much fun. We’ll be back again soon!
