What locals are saying
Operating out of the City Marina on Lockwood, this five-vessel fleet—ranging from the intimate 50-foot sailboat Fate to the 23-passenger motor yacht Kismet—has quietly become the dominant private charter outfit on Charleston Harbor, running over 750 charters a year including upward of 200 bachelorette parties. Crew names like Captain Scott, Dustin, and Will recur constantly in the conversation around this outfit, and the consistency of praise for their knowledge of local waters, Charleston history, and sheer personability is hard to dismiss as noise. Southern Charm, the Scout runabout, carves out its own niche for barrier island beach runs and shark-tooth hunting at Drum Island—a genuinely different experience from the sunset sail crowd on Fate or Mystique.
