What types of Harbor tours do you offer?

Keelforce offers a variety of harbor tours to meet your needs. We offer morning and day sails that provide beautiful city views, where you can see Fort Sumter and Pickney’s Castle. Our sunset cruises delight our guests as we sail along the harbor to see the city and show you stunning views near the Ashley River. Our team-building sails offer a 4-hour course in sailing and help your team improve their communication and teamwork in a fun environment. Sailing and racing lessons are a favorite of our crew, and we can accommodate single one-on-one lessons up to a group of six for this breathtaking adventure.

How much does it cost?

The price of our harbor cruises starts at $499 and ranges to $999. The price can vary depending on the size of your group, the length of your cruise, and the time of your sail. Our crews love these waters and will make every effort to make sure you have a fantastic harbor cruise experience.

Will we see dolphins?

In Charleston harbor, it’s almost guaranteed! Charleston harbor is one of the best places globally to view Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins in their natural habitat. You’re also likely to see diving pelicans, schools of baitfish, and the ever-present seagulls. 

Are reservations required?

Advanced reservations are strongly suggested. Our peak season begins in mid-March and continues through late November, with weekends and holidays often booked weeks ahead. We’ll do our best to accommodate last-minute requests, but a safe and comfortable cruise is dependent on the availability of the crew and the equipment. 

What’s your cancelation policy?

We are happy to offer a full refund if your plans change as long as you can give us seven days’ advance notice. Within the 7-day window, no cancellations are allowed as we must schedule our crew and other provisions within this time. 

What if the weather is bad?

As much as we wish we could control the weather, the best we can do is work with what nature provides. Charleston is lucky to enjoy a moderate climate most of the year. Although Captain Rick and the crew take every action to ensure your safety and the comfort of your cruise, there are rare occasions when weather forces a cancellation. In this event, Keelforce will provide you with a full refund and happily reschedule your cruise.
