An absolute must do! - 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.

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!

Gorgeous sunsets and harbor breezes! - Wonderful, breezy, relaxing sunset sail with Captain Will and Charleston Harbor Sailing. We moved at a good clip, but were comfortable at all times as Captain Will is an expert sailor. The boat is beautiful and we enjoyed our own snacks and drinks with our family. Plenty of room for everyone to take in the views of the city of Charleston and surrounding areas from the harbor. You will love this charter!

Incredible experience! - Will was an awesome captain! The weather was perfect and the views were incredible!! Everything about the experience was memorable! Captain was early to pick us up, we felt welcome anywhere on the clean boat and he was quite informative about the area and answered any questions we had.

Relaxing and very nice cruise - Relaxing. Captain Will was very good. He was knowledgeable and would engage when asked questions but did not overly try to insert himself into the family time. He seemed skilled as a captain; The boat is very nice and clean and he has a good bluetooth to play your toons.

Book it - Highly recommend sailing at sunset with Charleston Harbor Sailing. Will was our captain and he did a great job making us feel at home on the boat. We celebrated our daughter’s 21st while on board and it was such a fun time. The views were spectacular and we saw several dolphins during the sailing. We had some cloud cover due to the weather and that did not ruin the experience at all. Would book again in a heartbeat.
