22. Private sunset cruise aboard a 50ft yacht in Charleston
5.0· 2 reviews· 3 hoursTwo hours on a private yacht — enjoy the sunset views, wildlife sightings, and your choice of food and beverages along Charleston's waterways.
“We initially intended to take a power boat tour but instead enjoyed a sunset cruise on a luxurious 50 ft sailboat, which was amazing. It was the ideal way to say goodbye to 2025 and welcome 2026. 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. I highly recommend this experience and can’t wait to do it again on our next visit to Charleston.”— 530mega
