Overview

Welcome to Mystique, the beautiful 43ft sailing yacht operated by the longest running private charter company in Charleston's history. #1 activity on Tripadvisor for over 12 years, our sailing yachts are the highest quality and operated by two professional crew to give you the best experience possible.

Standard 2 hour charters are private, only you and the guests in your party will be on board. Additional hours can be added by request.

We depart from the safe Harbor City Marina downtown Charleston and sail out towards fort Sumter or the Arthur Ravenel Jr bridge, past the battery and the historic forts on the Charleston Harbor. We always point out the bottlenose dolphins that we see and try to get as close as we can for your viewing pleasure.

Great for children and adults alike, we have plenty of shade, two bathrooms and soft drinks refreshments are included.

We strive to provide the best customer service giving our guests the finest sailing experience available in Charleston.

Private Sunset Sail BYOB

Captain Will and his first mate, Daniel, provided us with an incredible experience. There were three couples, and we all appreciated the private boat tour. I would highly recommend booking this excursion.

Fabulous private sunset cruise on Charleston harbor

Of many sunset cruises we've taken across the Caribbean and California, our Charleston harbor private cruise with Captain Will and mate Dave on the Mystique rates among the best. Parking was plentiful at the marina lot and the captain texted me to be sure we knew the meeting location. On board, we enjoyed a terrific sail, some excellent rose wine, music and a relaxing time. Both Captain Will and Mate Dave had great stories of their years on the water and included many interesting facts about Charleston. Certainly, a highlight of our trip to Charleston and highly recommended.

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...

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.
