10/10 would recommend - We had 4 adults and a 4 year old and everyone had so much fun on our boat trip! The boat was super clean and Captain Dustin was really fun and friendly. He took us to several cool locations, telling us a lot of information about each one. He knew where the dolphins like to hang out so we were able to see some which isn’t always a guarantee with wildlife but it was awesome he knew where to look. When we got to the beach he had towels, cold water bottles, and set up chairs for us which was really nice. He was also very awesome helping us find shark teeth while we were on the beach and really great at taking pictures! We will definitely be booking this again the next time we’re in town!

An incredible day around the harbor. - We had the best time with Captain Dustin today! We had family in town and there’s no better way to introduce them to Charleston than with Charleston Sailing Charters. From exploring the history, to hanging out with a huge pod of dolphins (we even got to see a baby) to hunting the quiet beach for shark’s teeth. It was a fantastic day on the Southern Charm. 10/10 we’d recommend this outfit. We have sailed with them before and we will do it again! Thanks Captain Dustin!

Captivating Southern Charm - Private boat with Captain Dustin was great! We were able to customize our trip and decided on a mix of riding around the harbor and relaxing at the beach. We added on the option of the water hammock which was perfect for laying in the water on a hot day.

Meg - I cannot recommend Quent and Monique more. They made sure we stayed *hydrated*, took pictures impromptu, played our music, drove efficiently to get us the maximum time swimming, blew up the floats before we even got there…. It was amazing.
