Although it was chilly, the enclosed cockpit made us feel cozy. There's no need to worry about the cold when booking this; just dress appropriately and allow Captains Jen and Janet to take care of everything. We admired the stunning Charleston harbor, passed under a drawbridge, and even spotted dolphins! Plus, we actually sailed. Captains Jen and Janet were outstanding hosts and superb sailors.
