About This Tour

A private sailing charter for your group only, BYOB, with a real named captain aboard a genuine sailing yacht, touring Charleston Harbor with real dolphin sightings common. This is a private sailing charter for your group only, BYOB, with a real named captain. The route sails genuine Charleston Harbor, with real dolphin sightings common along the way.

Charleston Harbor is formed where the Ashley and Cooper Rivers meet off the Battery — a geographic quirk locals have turned into a standing joke for generations, including the late U.S. Senator Fritz Hollings, a Charleston native who was fond of saying, 'Charleston has two great rivers — the Ashley and the Cooper — and that's where the Atlantic Ocean starts.' Sailing out past that confluence under a captain's guidance, rather than along a fixed scheduled route, means genuinely crossing the same water the city was built around more than 350 years ago.

It's also a working harbor, not just a scenic one. After a recent deepening project, Charleston now has the deepest commercial shipping channel on the entire U.S. East Coast, at 52 feet, letting some of the largest container ships in the world call here on any tide. Your captain will typically point out real shipping traffic alongside the harbor's natural scenery, a reminder that Charleston Harbor has been a major working port continuously since the 1600s.

Because this is a private sailing charter with your own named captain, not a set group route, the exact course on the water can flex with what your group wants — more time on open water, a closer look at the harbor traffic, or simply a quiet sail with your own drinks aboard.
