5 star experience!

Absolutely fantastic sailing experience with Will! Would book this again & again ... 5 star experience!

Highly recommended. Beautiful boat, great views (dolphins!). Pro captain. Worth the $$

Published on Nov, 2024

We're a "young" couple in our 50s celebrating our birthdays and we're very happy with this boat charter. Captain Will was a pro, calm and knowledgable. There was good communication regarding the booking leading up to the departure date and there was no issue finding Will at the Harborage location. The boat was beautiful as were the views, and a few dolphins came right up close! Will provided lots of interesting facts about the area when asked - but he also gave us space to enjoy our time as a couple. This experience was so much better than being on some ship with 50 other people clamoring for space. We'd highly recommend this experience to others visiting Charleston.

The weather was perfect! ...

We had a wonderful 29th anniversary sail. Will was a great captain. Charleston was a beautiful place for a sail. I highly recommend doing it.

The best sunset cruise experience!

Published on Sep, 2024

We had the absolute best time ever on our sunset cruise! Our captain Will was so knowledgeable, gracious, and caring with his time and expertise. He was just the cherry on the top of the best night of or vacation. The Esprit de Joy was a beautiful, clean, and perfect size boat for our small group of six. We highly recommend this experience!
