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.

Morning Sail is the perfect way to start your weekend! - Beautiful morning, our captain Dustin and first mate Mari were ready for us and very knowledgeable on the Charleston area and history. The boat was beautiful, clean, comfortable, well maintained. You can bring your own beverages, sit back and enjoy! Highly recommend for a relaxing sail in the harbor!

Fantastic! - Scott and Holly were amazing! They made my experience with my friends so relaxing and luxury. While you do need to bring your own food and drinks once you get on board they cater to you and make sure you do not need to do anything. The boat is absolute BEAUTIFUL and well kept for. Highly recommend booking.

FANTASTIC! do it! - This was a fantastic experience! The sail, snack, and crew gentlemen were wonderful! Worth every penny! Do it! I’ve been on other cruises that were too structured and not as nice. This was first class all the way.

If you are thinking about sailing, the answer is YES you should do this tour. - We live in Charleston and have sailed with Charleston Sailing Charters a few times (on Fate & Mystique) and each time we come away thinking that we have to do this more often. The crew are always so nice. It is just simply wonderful and relaxing couple of hours on the water, enjoying the scenery, taking in the sights and soaking up some morning sun rays.

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.

Awesome Experience in Charleston - Scott and Nick were fantastic captains and hosts for our experience. Loved our time and the boat was so nice. Very professional and had an amazing time even in a little bit of rainy weather. We appreciated the history and facts about Charleston throughout the tour too!
