Sunset sails, harbor cruises, dolphin tours, and private yacht charters around Charleston Harbor and the barrier islands. Great for groups, couples, and visitors.
The classic options sail from the Charleston Maritime Center or Patriots Point and run 90 min to 3 hours. Schooner Pride is the city's best-known under-sail option; private skiff and powerboat charters offer more flexibility.
Can we BYO drinks?
On most private charters, yes — alcohol is allowed for guests. Captain doesn't drink. Confirm with the charter ahead of time and bring a soft cooler.
Will we see dolphins?
Charleston Harbor has a resident bottlenose dolphin pod. Sightings are common but never guaranteed.
