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

We had such a wonderful and memorable sail on 9/10. My wife was ecstatic and had control of the helm. Thanks to Captain Paul for sharing his stories while we sailed in Port Royal Sound. Highly recommend. We will be back.
Thank you for that great review! We are very glad you enjoyed your sail with us and we look forward to sailing again soon with you!!
Our family had a great time sailing with Anchors Away Sailing Charters this morning. We brought our two sons to learn a little about sailing and Captain Paul was up for the challenge. He was wonderful with the kids, incredibly patient, and shared so many interesting facts throughout the trip. We were lucky enough to see so many dolphins too. If you’re looking for a family-friendly sailing adventure with a knowledgeable and personable captain, I can’t recommend Anchors Away Sailing Charters enough. Thank you, Captain Paul, for such a fantastic experience—we’ll definitely be back for an afternoon charter when the boys get a little bigger.
Katherin, Thank you for that great review. We are so glad you guys enjoyed your sail with us and we look forward to sailing again soon with your family!
Highest recommendation! Our family took a four hour afternoon sail with Capt. Paul and deck hand Andy. It was phenomenal. Very easy to work with; boat was new and amazing. This is a small company who seems interested only in making your sailing trip memorable and I if you are considering any sort of excursion, I see no reason to look anywhere else.
WOW, Thank you for that amazing review. We are absolutely thrilled that you enjoyed your half-day sail with us, and we would love an opportunity to sail again soon with you all! Thank you again!
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.
Sandra, thank you for the great review. We are very glad you enjoyed your sail with us. We look forward to sailing again soon with you next time your in town and hopefully have stronger winds:)
This was such a great sailing trip! We have sailed with them in the past and have always had such a great experience. The entire family had a great time! Cannot wait to do it again!
Thank you very much for the amazing review. We enjoyed having you guys on board and we look forward to our next sail together!
It was a great experience! Would highly recommend to anyone interested in learning more about the area and sailing in general

Throughly enjoyed the boat experience with Cpt Greg and 1st Mate Dave. They allowed my partner to pilot the boat for a short time. Saw a few dolphins.
Thank you for the great review, we are very glad you enjoyed your sail with us and we look forward to sailing again soon with you!
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.
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!
