Fantastic sunset cruise... - Fantastic sunset cruise with Captain Will and his mates Sam and Sam. They gave us a great sail and tour of the Harbor. Will knows how to time the sale so that you are returning towards the harbor in time to capture the most beautiful sunset. The boat has spacious seating and is comfortable for wine and cheese to toast the sunset. A truly memorable evening in Charlestown!

Super fun experience - Captain Brandon and Sam were fantastic! Brandon kept things upbeat and professional while still being super fun, and Sam brought great energy the whole time—helping out, keeping drinks flowing, and making sure everyone was having a blast. The vibes were perfect from start to finish. 10/10 would sail with them again!

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.

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!!
