Traveller reviews
Great experience and wonderful views! Would highly recommend booking a sailing tour if you're visiting Charleston!
It was amazing and so fun. We had calm waters and saw plenty of dolphins. Captain Will was also super nice and fun to chat with.
Will was very knowledgeable and a very skilled captain. Would definitely recommend!!!
I would highly recommend this charter! My five girlfriends and I had a wonderful experience. It is a beautiful boat and enjoyed sailing at sunset. After a lot of walking on land, it was so fun to experience Charleston from the water. Our captain Will was great. Friendly, knowledgeable, pointed out landmarks and other fun Charleston facts during our sail, answered all of our questions about sailing and was overall very personable and accommodating. It was evident he was there to ensure we had a great time. And we also appreciated his offers to take as many pictures as we would like! Important for six ladies that wanted to document the experience. :) Highly recommend this very professional and enjoyable experience!
What an amazing afternoon! Captain Will was relaxed and knowledgeable. He chatted with us about local attractions and historical places in a manner that seemed like visiting with a friend, rather than taking a tour with a guide. Will answered questions about the Esprit de Joy, as well as other boats we saw. And he ordered up dolphins! A dolphin pod delighted us by following our boat and playing for several minutes. We can't wait to go back to Charleston and take another tour with Charleston Harbour Sailing!
We went out on the boat with my family and best friend for my birthday and I absolutely loved it!! The sunset was beautiful, we got to bring our own wine and got amazing pictures!! I also want to say that Will, our captain was awesome and we just had a great experience!! I absolutely recommend!!
Excellent experience! Our captain Will was amazing!
I live here in Charleston, and I love being out on the water. It is so special to experience Charleston and the surrounding areas from the Harbor, and Charleston Harbor Sailing is the best in the business! The boat is impeccable, and Captain Will creates a memorable experience for you to take home and remember this beautiful city! I have been out many times, and on several different boats, but Charleston Harbor Sailing is, without a doubt, the best!
