We thoroughly enjoyed our harbor sail. We could view Charleston and Fort Sumter as well as a couple of dolphins. The captain and crew (Jodi) did a great job!

Beautiful Hot Morning Sail
Captain 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.

Luxury boat trip
Amazing, 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
For 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.
