Welcome to Mystique, the beautiful 43ft sailing yacht operated by the longest running private charter company in Charleston's history. For over 12 years, our sailing yachts are the highest quality and operated by two professional crew to give you the best experience possible.
Standard 2 hour charters are private, only you and the guests in your party will be on board.

We always point out the bottlenose dolphins that we see and try to get as close as we can for your viewing pleasure.
Great for children and adults alike, we have plenty of shade, two bathrooms and soft drinks refreshments are included.

5.00Captain 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.
Beautiful views, great crew!

5.00Amazing, 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

5.00For 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.
