Sail in the Ocean to Bohicket - I pretty much never give 5 stars on anything because perfection and man are not a real thing, but with God anything is possible and my families overnight adventure to Bohicket Marina on the Fate was FANTASTIC. The boat was everything we needed and more: a little dated but spacious, super clean, and maintained. Captain Dustin and his 1st mate Liam, were in so many ways, the best part. Captain Dustin made us comfortable, informed us on everything boating, and adapted in charming and subtle ways to my family, our wishes, and our needs. The whole time we were with him and Liam, we felt right at home snapping pictures, pointing out dolphins, and getting splashed with ocean swells on the bow. Dustin's communication was always clear and friendly and Liam was quick and happy to get us a snack or drink. We sailed much of the way back through the intercoastal waterway being chased by squalls, blasted by wind and rain, and greeted by dolphins. Placed at the helm by the captain. there was never a moment I wasn't being taught: coming about, reading the charts, raising and stowing the sails, and so much more. The crew gave this trip so much value; incredible! For anyone looking to have a good time on the water and be inspired, Captain Dustin and Liam are your best chance because they like to adapt to your dreams and give you an experience. Captain Dustin is sharp, observant, and he genuinely wants to make the best of things no mater from where the wind blows.

Morning sail on Fate - The crew was awesome and did a great job on our morning sail despite a little rain in the forecast! I proposed to my girlfriend now fiancé on the Fate and it was wonderful! The guys were more than happy to still take us out and treat us well! I highly recommend sailing on Fate, super spacious and so nice inside and out!

To Bad 5 starts is highest rating - Charleston Sailing Charters have a truly fun and exciting sailing experience. We went to the "Fate" with Capt Will and 1st mate Scott. Very nice sail boat (and large); excellently maned by one of the most knowledgeable boating persons I have ever met. Capt Will was very outgoing and really knew his boating and water -- he enthusiastically was able to answer my many questions about both the boat, and sailing in general. This was a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend and will certainly go again when in Charleston.

Loved It! - First time sailing and I loved it! Ready to go again! Captain Will and Co-captain Scott were great. They answered all of our questions about the boat, the area, and the history. The morning couldn’t have been more perfect. 20 might have been our friend’s limit but it was more fun at 30-32. Could have been his reactions though. 😂 Thank you so much for one of the highlights of our trip.

A lot of fun and very informative - What an amazing experience! This was my first time on a sailboat, and it was a blast. Not only was the ride amazing, but the wealth of knowledge shared by the captain made it so much more interesting. I highly recommend!

Beautiful, relaxing sail! - Captain Scott and Hailey were amazing and made the trip extra special. We enjoyed sailing while watching dolphins and eating cavier. Scott is knowledgeable and shared a lot with us about the water and history here. It was relaxing sitting on the bow enjoying the beautiful views of the Chaleston Harbor. I highly reccomend.

Simply Sailing with Charleston Charters - Fantastic experience! Captain Scott and sailing mate Sam were the best. Our family had a great time touring the harbor with beautiful views. A large pod of Dolphin swimming along the boat was a plus. 💯 recommend a cruise on Fate.

Don’t miss this opportunity! - The BEST boat charter I’ve ever been on. Captain Quent was so knowledgeable, informative and funny and First Mate Monique was on top of all aspects of the trip. We swam and floated off the boat while the captain told us great adventure stories. He and Monique kept us hydrated the whole time. And yes, we saw dolphins!
