What is included?

We provide the vessel along with ice and soda; feel free to bring alcoholic beverages you prefer. We also recommend that you bring a camera, sunscreen, appropriate clothing for the season, and soft-soled shoes. It’s a good idea to bring a towel and even binoculars if you’re hoping to catch some great views. You’re going to love your time on the water!

How much does it cost?

The price of our sailing charter 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 in the world 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. To ensure you’ll have the experience you want, we recommend booking a few weeks in advance.
