So so fun - Holy moly! I cannot recommend them more. Seriously. Best day ever! Captain Scott and Skipper Hannah made our day. It’s like the Gods cleared the skies and the waters, just for us. So so fun.

Unforgettable day in Charleston! - We had an amazing day on the water! The forecast threatened rain with a dreary start to the day but I am so glad we didn’t cancel! It turned out to be a beautiful day. Captain Scott and his mate Grace really made the trip special. They were knowledgeable and fun while making our comfort the priority. We brought our own wine and snacks on the trip which was a nice complement to the water and sodas also available to us. Scott and Grace made sure our glasses were never empty and they arranged our convenience store snacks into a beautiful charcuterie tray! My husband and I were traveling with our college aged daughter and her two friends. Our party of five was very comfortable, with plenty of room for the girls to lay in the sun on the bow of the boat. The boat (Fate) was beautiful, well maintained and spacious. We were a little afraid of the heat for an afternoon cruise but there was plenty of shade and the breeze was quite pleasant. The ride around the harbor was really interesting with Scott serving as both captain and tour guide! We enjoyed the views of Charleston and surrounding sites will also watching the various boat and ship traffic in the area. Four hours went by fast! Highly recommend this tour! Fantastic way to spend an afternoon in Charleston.

Romantic Sunset Harbor Tour - This was a sunset harbor tour and the second time we had done this over the last several years...both times was really enjoyable. Dustin and Holly made the event even more special by adding to the conversation. If you want a high quality tour on a sailboat...this is the company you want to do it with.
