5.00An absolute 10/10. If you’re looking for something to do on the water in Charleston look no further. I booked this charter to purpose to my girlfriend with my close friends and the experience could not have been any better, from start to finish. If I was you ask for Will Ventress and Walker Smith. These two gentleman made this day for us. Anything we needed or asked they jumped to the moon and back to make it happen. A big thanks to them for making this day as perfect as it could have been. BOOK IT!
Great boat day!!!

5.00Our group had a wonderful time with our captain Dustin and first mate Gabby! Although it was our first time sailing, it won't be our last. The trip was awesome and full of conversation and laughter. We had such a relaxing time and enjoyed the gorgeous views. We're so happy we booked with Charleston Sailing Charters. Dustin was super knowledgeable and personable. Definitely booking with them in the future!
Fun experience, great crew.

5.00Our captain, Will, was both friendly and very professional as was our First Mate, Sam. We had a wonderfu harbor cruise and laughed with each other which made it a very happy cruise. Although some would have been disappointed with the end of the cruise with a big rain storm occuring, it made it all the more interesting to watch the front come in and the great care Will and Sam took with our safety. I t was a delightful experience and one I would highly recommend. Thank you to both Will and Sam.
Great afternoon activity!
