Beautiful, relaxing sail! - Captain Scott and Hailey were amazing and made the trip extra special. We enjoyed sailing while watching dolphins and eating cavier. Scott is knowledgeable and shared a lot with us about the water and history here. It was relaxing sitting on the bow enjoying the beautiful views of the Chaleston Harbor. I highly reccomend.

Simply Sailing with Charleston Charters - Fantastic experience! Captain Scott and sailing mate Sam were the best. Our family had a great time touring the harbor with beautiful views. A large pod of Dolphin swimming along the boat was a plus. 💯 recommend a cruise on Fate.

Don’t miss this opportunity! - The BEST boat charter I’ve ever been on. Captain Quent was so knowledgeable, informative and funny and First Mate Monique was on top of all aspects of the trip. We swam and floated off the boat while the captain told us great adventure stories. He and Monique kept us hydrated the whole time. And yes, we saw dolphins!

Morning Sail is the perfect way to start your weekend! - Beautiful morning, our captain Dustin and first mate Mari were ready for us and very knowledgeable on the Charleston area and history. The boat was beautiful, clean, comfortable, well maintained. You can bring your own beverages, sit back and enjoy! Highly recommend for a relaxing sail in the harbor!

Fantastic! - Scott and Holly were amazing! They made my experience with my friends so relaxing and luxury. While you do need to bring your own food and drinks once you get on board they cater to you and make sure you do not need to do anything. The boat is absolute BEAUTIFUL and well kept for. Highly recommend booking.

FANTASTIC! do it! - This was a fantastic experience! The sail, snack, and crew gentlemen were wonderful! Worth every penny! Do it! I’ve been on other cruises that were too structured and not as nice. This was first class all the way.

If you are thinking about sailing, the answer is YES you should do this tour. - We live in Charleston and have sailed with Charleston Sailing Charters a few times (on Fate & Mystique) and each time we come away thinking that we have to do this more often. The crew are always so nice. It is just simply wonderful and relaxing couple of hours on the water, enjoying the scenery, taking in the sights and soaking up some morning sun rays.

Best experience of our Charleston weekend - The boat was gorgeous and the scenery was spectacular but my friend Aubrey and I were most impressed by the ship’s captain Scott and his first mate Josh. Their ability to sail perfectly was noted by Aubrey as he sails regularly in NC where we are from. Thank you for such a memorable experience. We will be back and will request Scott and Josh.
