Treat yourself!
My husband suprised me with a private excursion for our anniversary! We packed a charcuterie plate, & a bottle of wine to take aboard. Captain Will & Mate Anna were fantastic! Will's playlist was a great backdrop for the trip. Anna spoiled us all evening with wonderful service. We learned about the area, saw dolphins, relaxed & had great conversations along the way. This charter would be great for friends, family, & a fabulous romantic sail for couples. The boat was meticulous, a gorgeous sailing vessel. The sunset from the water was magical! Thank you again to Will & Miss Anna for an unforgettable evening! Go ahead y'all, treat yourself!

Will and Glen were phenomenal today, in unfortunate and unfavorable weather conditions. They navigated the Mystique like true professionals, and were truly focused on our safety and well-being. We can't wait to come back for another (drier) cruise.

Excellent private sailboat tour.
Had a fantastic time taking my parents out. We sailed around Fort Sumter at sunset, and it was a beautiful experience. The guys, Wes and Sam N, were extremely accommodating, knowledgeable, and really made the trip worthwhile. Definitely worth booking with them. I would highly recommend!

Captain Will D contacted...
Captain Will D contacted me prior to the trip to confirm time, location and weather issues. When my family arrived, he came out and met us as we got to the dock. He brought us back to the boat and introduced us to First Mate Sam N. We had a great time being out and with the guys. Definitely will do this again
