Wonderful sunset sailboat ride! - Will and Anna were so wonderful! They welcomed my book club and I on board (even helped us find the dock after getting a little bit lost) and then gave us a wonderful sail along the coast of downtown Charleston! We saw many dolphins and had great conversations with them as well. Would 100% recommend!!

Fantastic Time Aboard - We had the best time! Will & Sam were our Captain and First Mate. They were so much fun - making the trip relaxing, but also one where we learned quite a bit from them about the city, the harbor and the coastline. The sailboat was in good condition… and it was something special to see how the rigging worked up close. We had a few dolphin sightings near our boat and caught a beautiful sunset to cap off our evening. Highly recommend! As a very appreciated extra, the whole team cared so well for my mom (who uses a cane). They called for a golf cart to shorten her walk and were genuinely patient and kind assisting her onboard and off again. Many thanks to all who aided us in making her time special.

Five star crew on a stormy evening - The crew showed us a great and safe time on a stormy night. Our family gathered in the cabin to wait out the storm. Highly recommend.

Great - Rain or Shine! - Will and Sam were awesome! They made the most out of a bad situation. There was a lot of rain on our sail boat ride, but they did everything they could to keep us dry. We brought our own cheese and charcuterie in a to go bag. Sam put it together and brought it up to the main deck for us. Made sure my wine glass stayed full and treated us like we were staying at a 5 star hotel. Great conversation the whole time. We got to see dolphins, learn some history, and see some of the sunset.

Highly Recommend!! - The cruise experience was amazing. The boat was very comfortable and spacious. There were complimentary water and sodas for the ride. You can either BYOB or buy a bottle of wine while on board. The views were beautiful and on the way back to shore, the sunset came through the clouds and it was so peaceful and breathtaking. Will and Maddie made it such a fun experience and were attentive to all of our needs. If we visit Charleston again, we will definitely take another cruise. I definitely recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

Worth It! - For the majority of us that will never have 'yachting' as a usual part of our lives, this treat is well worth it!! Will and Sam welcomed us, were incredibly attentive to us and answered all of our touristy questions with incredible patience! What good guys - just as anyone would expect from Eagle Scouts!

Best sunset cruise! All right, all right, all right! - Captain Scott and his First Mate Sam were fantastic! Both were extremely competent, customer driven and made our sunset sail fun, educational and gave us the best memories that will always bring a smile to our faces. Highly recommend this Charter.
