Additional Information

Embark on an enchanting journey across the Charleston Harbor, glimpse the playful dolphins, witness breathtaking sunsets, and even partake in authentic sailing yacht races. Fate stands as not only the most desired but also the most expansive and charming sailing yacht for hire in Charleston, celebrated for her graceful silhouette under sail, lavish amenities within the cabin, and the industry’s supreme customer service.

Charters set sail from Downtown Charleston in close proximity to most hotels. Regular voyages last 2 hours, taking you to Ft Sumter or the Ravenel bridge, depending on the wind’s direction.

We provide the option of historic narrations or simply playing excellent music while you revel in the picturesque views of the Charleston Harbor. The choice is yours.

We offer free bottled water and soft drinks, but feel free to bring your own beverages or opt for convenient catering through Caviar Bananas. Indulge in a spread of charcuterie, wine, champagne, beer, or dinner on board during your journey, delivered straight to the yacht.

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.

Sunset Cruise - My family and I had an amazing and relaxing sunset cruise with captain Glen and Maddy. They were both so accommodating and knowledgeable about Charleston. They had a charcuterie board prepared for us and provided us with blankets when it got cold. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a fun activity with family or friends on a beautiful sailboat.

Captain Scott and Mate Madi Rock! - Captain Scott (aka Captain Jack Sparrow) and Mate Madi were great sailors and so much fun! I was there with family celebrating a 60th birthday. We chartered a sail and while we knew it was the Witches Brew sail little did we know it was a sailing race! The experience far surpassed our expectations. We will definitely be back!

Exhilarating adventure at sea! - The sailing was fabulous. It was my cousins 60 birthday celebration. Madi and Scott were so knowledgeable and filled our group with fun facts about sailing. Their pleasant personalities added much to our trip. We can't wait to go back.

Charleston harbor sailing cruise. - Three hour sail around Charleston harbor with Captian Scott and Mate Adam. Went with neice and husband, and friend couple. Boat was pristine, they kept with sailing traditions (no bananas on board), very accomodating. We brought our own picnic lunch and wine. Scott was very knowledgable about marine matters, discussing the specific dolphins of Charleston and their habits, as well as Charleston history. We were in Charleston on a big ship cruise, and we circumnavigated the ship anchored in the harbor. Quite a lovely afternoon.
