Sailing in South Carolina's Charleston harbor is a year-round adventure. Experience this opportunity on Charleston's finest private air-conditioned luxury yacht. Take in the sights of this beautiful city from historical landmarks to a wide variety of wildlife as you relax and feel the ocean breeze, all while your professional captain and mate take care of everything else.
A typical 2-hour cocktail cruise will take you through Charleston landmarks such as The Battery, Waterfront Park, Historic Castle Pinckney, under the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, and out to Fort Sumter where the Civil War began. You will usually see dolphins playing in the bow wake or feeding in the shallows. If you are a bird watcher - there will be something for you too. So make sure you bring along a pair of binoculars as there are many species to be seen.
