Reviews
Although the weather wasn't ideal, we still had a lovely time aboard the sail. The staff was very attentive. It surely would have been even more enjoyable with sunny and warm conditions.
The boat ride was quite enjoyable and calm. However, there was no commentary about our location or sights, so it isn’t suitable if you seek a guided experience. The crew was friendly and knew their stuff, making it worthwhile to ask questions. Overall, it was a peaceful 1.5-hour trip on the water, but we only encountered one dolphin during our mid-May outing.
The experience was both relaxing and enjoyable. We were lucky enough to spot two dolphins. The crew was well-prepared, friendly, and extremely accommodating.
The excursion started on schedule, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The captain did an excellent job. Although we only spotted dolphins at the end, it was still a wonderful experience and well worth the money.
The boat ride is acceptable, but there was a lack of commentary on sights, including the nearby bridge's name. The seating consists of wooden benches, and volunteers were asked to manage the lines. No drinks or additional amenities were offered. We did catch a glimpse of dolphins at the dock just before disembarking.
The trip was beautiful and relaxing; the boat was stunning, and the crew was friendly and very accommodating. I would definitely go again without hesitation.
If there had been a story about Charleston's Harbor history, I would have given it a 5-star rating. The crew was very interactive with all the guests on the boat.
I had been looking forward to a schooner experience, and Charleston provided the ideal setting. It was both relaxing and enjoyable, with an exceptional crew and Captain. Just a note, this isn't a guided tour but rather a beautiful, leisurely ride with stunning scenery.
The sail on the schooner was enjoyable, peaceful, and educational. The crew was fantastic, and the captain demonstrated excellent sailing skills.
The sailing experience was pleasant and tranquil, but it fell short of expectations since we only circled near the dock and didn't see anything new. The day was lovely, but the route was unremarkable.
