An absolute must do! Captain Will was amazing and gave my wife and I the most amazing sail around the harbor. Overwhelmingly knowledgeable and friendly, this is something we will always do when in Charleston now.

FABULOUS Experience! The experience was fabulous. It was a company offsite and Captains Dustin, Scott and Mate Will were the easiest to work with. Captain Scott gave us so much history about the water and Charleston - things I never knew! They took care of us like family and I cannot wait to hire them again.
Evening Elegance: Savor the Night in Charleston
As the sun sets and the city lights begin to twinkle, Charleston transforms into a romantic haven. The evening air is cool and inviting, with temperatures dipping to a comfortable 61.1°F.

Amazing experience! My boyfriend and I booked a sunset cruise to celebrate his birthday and we could not have been happier with our experience. Will was such an incredible Captain! He had wonderful recommendations of places for us to visit while in Charleston, and he shared lots of history about the city and the sites we were sailing by. The weather was perfect and we were able to see a gorgeous sunset and get some really nice pictures. I can’t recommend this enough! This was a highlight of our trip to Charleston and we’ll definitely book another cruise on our next visit!
