Beautiful Hot Morning Sail - Captain Will and First Mate Sam were lots of fun on our morning sail. We thought this would be a fun family outing to celebrate our daughter's 19th birthday and it was perfect. Lots of fun stories and chatting about the boating life! We will definitely sail again on our next visit to Charleston.

Luxury boat trip - Amazing, luxurious experience on Mystique! Captain Will and Mate Sam were very experienced sailors and attentive to our every need, including young children. We had a lovely lunch and shelling expedition on a private island. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for stellar water outing and tour in Charleston.

Fun way to beat the heat and see the dolphins - For a girls trip we went on a private sail around the harbor to see the dolphins. Which we did! It was so relaxing and the Mystique was so comfortable. Nice seating above and comfortable area with a bathroom below. Our Captain Will & First Mate Sam , were super knowledgeable about the area, focused on safety and didn’t mind a group of older ladies talking smack & gossiping. They were so fun. Highly recommend.

Charleston Family Trip - We had a wonderful morning sailing experience. Will and Sam were fantastic as the captain and crew of the Mystique - they made us feel welcome and comfortable, were so knowledgeable about the history of Charleston, made sure we saw several dolphins, and were just fun to visit with in general. They also went above and beyond, helping us get my son’s sweatshirt back that he left on the boat. We would highly recommend this experience for any group/age. It was a perfect morning!

Awesome sailing experience! - My family (including 2 teenage daughters) had an amazing sailing experience with William & Walker on the Mystique. Even with the rainy weather, the trip was truly memorable. I really appreciated that we could bring our own drinks and snacks aboard too. Communication leading up to the trip helped us prepare for our afternoon on the boat. Viewing Charleston from the harbor is so beautiful. I highly recommend this experience!
