Anchors Away Sailing Charters practices low-impact boating to protect fragile estuarine ecosystems and local wildlife.
Anchors Away Sailing Charters operates from Bluffton, South Carolina, providing private sailing experiences on monohull sailboats along the Lowcountry coastline. The company offers a variety of trips including two‑hour morning, afternoon and sunset sails, two‑ to 2.5‑hour dolphin watches, and four‑hour half‑day excursions that can include swimming, coastal cruising, or relaxed island views. Vessel names used on specific trips include Seas the Moment and Knot The Office. Each sailing experience is led by a licensed captain and accompanying crew who handle navigation, safety, and guest instruction. Trips are intentionally private and customizable: guests may take the helm, assist with sail handling, or simply enjoy wildlife and scenery. Onboard briefings cover safety gear, weather considerations, and suggested itineraries so each group can set expectations before departure. Wildlife viewing is a consistent focus of the itineraries. Guests can often spot Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, osprey, pelicans, and other coastal species while cruising Hilton Head’s intercoastal waterways. Several two‑hour sails include complimentary drinks and emphasize onboard comfort and easy access to photo opportunities during sunrise or sunset light. Anchors Away provides clear trip descriptions with duration, vessel type, and activity options to help guests choose the right charter for families, couples, or small groups. Safety equipment is maintained per maritime standards and captains prioritize a safe, educational, and memorable day on the water. Advance booking is recommended during peak season and holiday weekends year‑round.
