Outstanding Sunset Cruise to Celebrate a Special Bday on Charleston Sailing Charters
donmU354FY,Mar 25, 2026

5.00We had a great Sunset Cruise on Kismet to celebrate my wife's birthday!! Captain Scott and First Mate, Monique, did an outstanding job!! They tailored the ride to what we wanted to see and where we wanted to go. We did add another 30 minutes to the two hour cruise so we could make sure to enjoy the sunset. Scott was incredibly knowledgable about Charelston, the history and all the sights. Monique did a great job of getting all the food and drinks for everyone and extremely accommodating!! The food was catered by Cavier and Bananas and everything was absolutely delicious!! We ordered a cake from Carmella's - It was a A triple chocolate brownie topped with layers of peanut butter filling and chocolate cake, finished with chocolate buttercream frosting...Yum!!! This was an outstanding cruise, great crew and perfect food for a very special occasion!!!
Perfect day!

5.00This was the most amazing time I’ve ever had on a party boat for my cousin’s bachelorette party! The boat was not only clean but super spacious and had enough room for dancing and partying! Scott and Hailey were amazing and I would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone looking to spend some time and make memories on a boat!

5.00We had the most amazing time on our cruise! Our captain was engaging and provided us with information about the town and harbor and made sure our voyage was smooth fun and everything we hoped for. His first mate took great photos for us and kept us well hydrated and taken care of. They are an A+ team. Thank you for an amazing day on the water

Highlight of The Bachelorette Weekend

5.00From the pre boat trip instructions to First Mate Hailey’s recommendation list shared with us on the way to the car, this was the highlight of the bachelorette weekend. Captain Quent’s amazing stories as you’re traveling along the harbor. Hailey always ensuring there’s a cold drink in your hand. While they provided bottled water and soda (coke, Diet Coke, and sprite) and offer a catering service our group went with BYO (alcoholic) drinks and snacks. STILL we were blown away went First Mate Hailey put our snack board together and proceeded to make us snack plates while we all lounged on the floats in the water. Truly, we remarked on this charter for the rest of the trip and I think all 9 of us would charter another ride on the Kismet anytime. Now I have to go watch Captain Quent’s episodes on Below Deck Mediterranean!
