A memory that will last a lifetime - Absolutely incredible experience!! The crew was phenomenal. Captain Scott, and Maddie were amazing!! We brought our own wine and food, and Maddie put together a charcuterie board for us. They made sure that we were their number one priority and that we were taken care of. Even with a little bit of rain we still had one the most amazing time. Captain Scott and Maddie thank you so much for your hospitality and for giving us a memory that we will never forget.

The best experience!! - We had the best time! Will and Sam were so great and made the cruise a 10/10 experience. It was a well kept boat and a beautiful view. We saw dolphins too! Would definitely recommend.

Anxiety Melted Away - Our anxiety melted away as my husband and I and our friends bored the Mystique with Will and Sam. From the moment Sam picked us up with his happy and outgoing smile, we knew we were in for a great night. The fun of the boat shifting side to side, the dolphins swimming next to us and the need to not do one thing the whole tour was amazing. Sam kept our glasses flowing and us laughing while Will navigated us smoothly along the coast. This was hands down our favorite excursion during out time in Charleson and have locked it in as a core memory! Thank you Charleston Sailing Charters!

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.
