Experience full-service, superior luxury with our private boat charters in Charleston, SC!
Our sailing charters can include any combination of relaxing and informative harbor tours, off shore sailing trips or even yacht racing for up to 6 passengers. We provide basic beverages and you are welcome to BYOB or have it catered. If you have more than six passengers you can book both Fate and Mystique at the same time or we can accommodate you on Kismet, our luxury motor yacht. We have a two hour minimum (dock to dock) for all of our sails which can sail you past the Battery, out to Fort Sumter or Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge and back. Add additional time and we can sail around the entire harbor (3 hours), out through the Jetties to the Atlantic Ocean or drop anchor and eat dinner while watching the sun set. Every day is different as the winds and currents dictate our best travel directions, no two trips are exactly alike.
Things we see on a typical 2 hour harbor cruise:
- The Battery
- Waterfront Park
- Historic Castle Pinckney
- Arthur Ravanel JR Bridge
- We can also head out to Fort Sumter to see where the Civil War began
- Dolphins playing in the bow wake or feeding in the shallows
- If you are an avid bird watcher feel free to bring along a pair of binoculars as there are many species to be seen!
We accommodate small groups many who have never been sailing before, its a great way to test the waters of the sailing world. Guests can sit back and relax or pilot the sailboat and be as active in the operation of the boat as they wish. Formal sailing instructions can be given as well. Sailing provides the perfect to atmosphere to relax and get away from it all.
If you are looking to celebrate and have a party we definitely encourage you to have a great time! We cater to over 200 bachelorette and birthday parties annually, trust us we have seen it all!
There is a reason Fate and Mystique are #1 in Charleston, come for a sail with us and find out for yourself!

Inside the Boats
-
Fate is a 2007 Beneteau 49, Mystique is a 2008 Beneteau 43. Both yachts are nearly identical having two large staterooms, two bathrooms, a large galley and living room. Both boats kept in like new condition, washed and cleaned daily and before and after each charter, every guest has that like new boat experience. Even though our sailboats are larger and nicer than all the other charter boats they are perfect for small groups, in fact half our charters are just a single couple. Having a large boat gives you a smooth comfortable ride and nobody every gets seasick!
