What a Fate, great boat - Great crew. This was a very informative sail and the crew provided lots of history about the area. The Fate was a beautiful boat and the trip is a must.

We will be back! - Our sailing tour was amazing! The weather was perfect even without that much wind. We were able to put the sails up some, but never fear the tour was still excellent when we used the motor on the boat as well. The captain was extremely knowledgable about all that we saw and other things going on in the Charleston area. He answered every question when we asked, "What is that?" Our 16 and 14 year old kids enjoyed the cruise as much as we did. We loved making family memories, and I highly recommend this cruise and company. We definitely will be back again!

Beautiful sailing day. - Captain Scott and Mate Sam did a great job. My wife booked it as a surprise for our anniversary as I love being on the water. We had a great sail around the harbor for 2 hours. We brought a cheese plate and a bottle of wine from goat, sheep, cow cheese shop with us on the boat. Beautiful day with my wife.

A must do experience!!! - Had an amazing experience with Dustin and his crew. My husband had sailed years ago, but I never have. Dustin put us right at ease. He explained everything and we learned so much about sailing. We almost canceled because of the weather forecast. I am so glad we didn’t!!! Dustin navigated the waters with ease. And with 40mph winds, he made the trip so enjoyable as we were sailing! I loved it and cannot wait to come back to Charleston to do it again!!! Honestly, who wants sunny with no wind and calm waters? How can you sail in those conditions? You gotta try it; you’ll love it!!!

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!
