Description

This 2 hour Private Morning Sailing tour, the Captain will take you to Port Royal Sound (North side of the island - generally best conditions for sailing). During the MORNING, this is generally a calm - light wind relaxing sail, a great way to start off the morning or a great day of vacation. The morning tours are usually full with wildlife such as dolphins, birds, sting ray and Manatee which are some of the great wildlife that are often very prevalent in the morning. You will also have some great scenic views of Hilton head, Pickney island, Paris island, Lady's island and Bay island to mention a few. This sail trip is typically more on the calm side of things and would recommend for individuals that don't know how they would handle the more adventurous and exciting winds of the afternoon sail trips. This is also a great opportunity to anchor and swim off the boat if your group would like. Please call us directly to discuss other sail trip options such as Half Day trips / Sunset

Great Sail Boat Trip!

We had a very nice experience on a beautiful one year old sail boat despite there being little wind. The two gentleman sailing the boat were very informative and enlightened us about the area as well as sharks. We would highly recommend. Located in a nice quiet Mariana. Easy to park.

Sail for a celebration!

We thoroughly enjoyed our sail with Captain Greg and Jacob! We were a group of 5, in town for a low key bachelorette party, and loved the beautiful scenery and relaxing pace of the sail. The Captain treated us to a glass of Prosecco to toast the bride to be, and took the time to let us each experience steering the boat. Even though no dolphins were seen, we loved the experience and highly recommend to groups both big and small.

Operator response

Thank you Kirsten for the great review. We are very glad you enjoyed your sail and allowed us to be a part of your bachelorette Celebration. We look forward to sailing again soon with you!

Amazing time, great crew, bonus shark stories

The crew was kind, instructional, and accommodating - they made sure we had an amazing experience and kept us entertained and informed about dolphins, turtles, and the local area. They’re very knowledgeable about wildlife and the ecosystem and are truly passionate about their jobs. This is a can’t-miss excursion with an expert group and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Paul, Greg, and David are fantastic. Don’t forget to ask them about their favorite sharks!

Great experience!

Our family arrived in Hilton Head and were psyched for our sunset dolphin watching adventure with Anchors Away Sailboat Charters, then we got the call. Our captain for the evening, (not the owner), could not take us out and we were asked if we could reschedule. Unfortunately, we could only make the next morning's charter. We arrived next morning prepared to set sail. We were met by Captain Paul, (the owner), and shortly after the obligatory safety brief and paperwork, we were underway. We were able to sit on the bow and provided cold beverages as Captain Paul motored us out of the marina into open water. First mate Jacob told us about the local area as well as some of the local wildlife and his adventures as Stinky Pete the Pirate. Once we were ready to set sail we returned to the stern where Captain Paul explained the basics of sailing. We cruised along taking in the sunshine, the light winds and the amazing waterfront homes. We enjoyed water, soft drinks, champagne and chocolate as Captain Paul expanded our knowledge regarding local celebrities, sharks, and dolphins. Speaking of which, a pod of dolphins eventually made their presence known. That made the experience for my wife and daughters. My son and I thought it pretty cool too. It was then time to return. We had a great time and learned a lot. Many thanks to Captain Paul and First Mate Jacob. I would rate the charter five stars except that I was really looking forward to a sunset cruise. Captain Paul did provide a rebate because we didn't get what we had signed up for. My tip, call Anchors Away Sailboat Charters directly rather than using Viator TripAdvisor and save yourself any fees. That being said, Viator TripAdvisor responded immediately with our rebate from Captain Paul. Happy sailing!

Operator response

Thank you for the great review. I am very sorry we were unable to provide the sunset sail for you and we appreciate your understanding. Unfortunately we had had a captain get hurt outside of work which caused us a problem. We are very glad you did enjoy the sail we were able to provide and we look forward to getting you out for a Sunset sail next time your in town!
