Sail the Charleston Harbor, see dolphins, amazing sunsets or even participate in real sailing yacht regattas. Fate is not only the most demanded but also the largest and nicest sailing yacht available for Charter in Charleston, known for her beauty under sail, exquisite appointments below deck and the best customer service in the industry.
Charters depart from Downtown Charleston just minutes from most hotels. Standard sails are 2 hours, sailing to Ft Sumter or the Ravenel bridge depending on wind conditions.
We can narrate and give a full history tour or we can just put on some great music and let you enjoy yourselves and take in the beautiful sights of the Charleston Harbor. Its up to you
We provide complimentary bottled water and soft drinks but you're welcome to BYOB or make it easy and have it catered through Caviar Bananas and enjoy charcuterie, wine, champagne, beer or brunch on board during your trip, delivered directly to the boat.

Sail in the Ocean to Bohicket

5.00I pretty much never give 5 stars on anything because perfection and man are not a real thing, but with God anything is possible and my families overnight adventure to Bohicket Marina on the Fate was FANTASTIC. The boat was everything we needed and more: a little dated but spacious, super clean, and maintained. Captain Dustin and his 1st mate Liam, were in so many ways, the best part. Captain Dustin made us comfortable, informed us on everything boating, and adapted in charming and subtle ways to my family, our wishes, and our needs. The whole time we were with him and Liam, we felt right at home snapping pictures, pointing out dolphins, and getting splashed with ocean swells on the bow. Dustin's communication was always clear and friendly and Liam was quick and happy to get us a snack or drink. We sailed much of the way back through the intercoastal waterway being chased by squalls, blasted by wind and rain, and greeted by dolphins. Placed at the helm by the captain. there was never a moment I wasn't being taught: coming about, reading the charts, raising and stowing the sails, and so much more. The crew gave this trip so much value; incredible! For anyone looking to have a good time on the water and be inspired, Captain Dustin and Liam are your best chance because they like to adapt to your dreams and give you an experience. Captain Dustin is sharp, observant, and he genuinely wants to make the best of things no mater from where the wind blows.
Friendly, Professional Crew

5.00The crew was awesome and did a great job on our morning sail despite a little rain in the forecast! I proposed to my girlfriend now fiancé on the Fate and it was wonderful! The guys were more than happy to still take us out and treat us well! I highly recommend sailing on Fate, super spacious and so nice inside and out!

5.00Charleston Sailing Charters have a truly fun and exciting sailing experience. We went to the "Fate" with Capt Will and 1st mate Scott. Very nice sail boat (and large); excellently maned by one of the most knowledgeable boating persons I have ever met. Capt Will was very outgoing and really knew his boating and water -- he enthusiastically was able to answer my many questions about both the boat, and sailing in general. This was a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend and will certainly go again when in Charleston.
Superb experience

5.00First time sailing and I loved it! Ready to go again! Captain Will and Co-captain Scott were great. They answered all of our questions about the boat, the area, and the history. The morning couldn’t have been more perfect. 20 might have been our friend’s limit but it was more fun at 30-32. Could have been his reactions though. 😂 Thank you so much for one of the highlights of our trip.
A lot of fun and very informative

5.00What an amazing experience! This was my first time on a sailboat, and it was a blast. Not only was the ride amazing, but the wealth of knowledge shared by the captain made it so much more interesting. I highly recommend!

5.00Captain Scott and Hailey were amazing and made the trip extra special. We enjoyed sailing while watching dolphins and eating cavier. Scott is knowledgeable and shared a lot with us about the water and history here. It was relaxing sitting on the bow enjoying the beautiful views of the Chaleston Harbor. I highly reccomend.

5.00Fantastic experience! Captain Scott and sailing mate Sam were the best. Our family had a great time touring the harbor with beautiful views. A large pod of Dolphin swimming along the boat was a plus. 💯 recommend a cruise on Fate.
