The sunset sail on the Serendipity catamaran was the perfect highlight of our honeymoon in Charleston. Dustin, Allissa, and Daniel were great hosts! Highly recommend! Only wish it had been longer; I could have stayed out on the water all day. Will definitely book again for an anniversary trip!

It was a little cloudy, but was still a great experience on a sail boat close to the water. Very relaxing
Perfect night out on Charleston harbor! I would highly recommend this charter! The captain and crew were friendly knowledgable and attentive. I would definitely book this again next time I am in Charleston.
Absolute great experience. Dustin, Alyssa and Racheal were amazing!
This was truly an amazing experience and a great way to end our trip! Dustin was amazing and had so much knowledge about the harbor. The sunset was beautiful and our first mate was so attentive. I would totally recommend this ! It is worth the money!
We had a terrific sunset catamaran cruise with Dustin! It was beautifully set in the Charleston Harbor (with dolphin sitings) and included Prosecco and Charcuterie and a terrific playlist with Dustin’s song, “Dolphins on the Bow.” It was a very relaxing and enjoyable way to close out a perfect day in Charleston.
We had the best time on the Serendipity with Scott and the crew! The atmosphere was laid-back and fun, with beautiful views all around. We love supporting Dustin Ryan’s portfolio of businesses—he truly understands how to enjoy the beauty of nature and the relaxed Lowcountry lifestyle. Thank you again for a fabulous evening!
This birthday cruise for my husband turned out to be exactly what we were looking for! Stunning sunset, calm waters, smooth sailing, combined with viewing of dolphins, pelicans and other wildlife made this a most memorable trip. Captain gave a detailed history of the ports, forts, and iconic landmarks along the shorelines.
Captain Dustin & the crew were great and very skilled, keeping us safe when a storm came up. We loved that it was a small group on the catamaran as well as the wine and charcuterie board. We were able to see dolphins!
Had a terrific time! Captains Dustin and Alyssa were so much fun and knowledgeable. They made a wonderful experience and will highly recommend to friends. Great way to see Charleston, have a few drinks and take in this beautiful city (also got to see several dolphins). Thank you again for a memorable experience!
We had an incredible sunset catamaran cruise in Charleston! From start to finish, the experience was relaxing, beautiful, and so much fun. The views of the Charleston harbor at sunset were absolutely breathtaking. What truly made the trip unforgettable was the amazing crew. Dustin and Allissa were outstanding—friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the entire cruise. They made everyone feel comfortable, kept the atmosphere fun, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. If you’re looking for the perfect way to experience Charleston from the water, I can’t recommend this sunset cruise enough. The stunning scenery combined with exceptional service made it one of the highlights of our trip. We’ll definitely be back!
WOW!!!! What an amazing experience on the Sunset Sail. We went with 15 girls for my bachelorette party and it was the highlight of the trip! Communication was excellent and clear instructions on how to find the boat. The catamaran was extremely spacious and had room for us all to chill and relax on the front of the boat in the nets and fun bean bag pillows. The captain and hosts were friendly, positive and overall excellent and made our experience top notch. An extra bonus was the fact they attentively kept bringing us more drinks so we could stay present in the front and enjoy our time :) Thank you so much for this lovely experience!
Captain Dustin and Alissa were the BEST! Had a GREAT experience. Weather cooperated thankfully and we had a beautiful sunset!
Beautiful sunset cruise around the harbor. Captain Scott and first mate Maddie were very knowledgeable and attentive-they made it a very relaxing experience. I would highly recommend this excursion!
Happy Birthday to me!! This was so, so awesome! Well worth it! Anna and Scott are the best. They are not only skilled captains, but gracious hosts. Very attentive to your needs/wants. We will definitely book with them again. We took the sunset tour, but this would be awesome during the day as well. The thing that would make this better is if it were 3 or 4 hours. We love being on the water!!
We had such a wonderful experience. This is a must do. It is so peaceful. We really enjoyed watching the sunset and we spotted doplphins.
Charleston Sailing Charters was incredible. I can't recommend it enough. Sam and Scott were great captains and very attentive.
Very nicer enjoyable. Safe travels was very nicely organized and felt safe. Guys were very capable and confident I all they fid
LOVED our sail! My husband and I are wanted one fun excursion during our charleston/Isle of Palms trip! Booked this with our little extra spending money and really enjoyed. Well worth it. We enjoyed sailing around the harbor - it was very relaxing, (at sunset, casual pacing) but also fun (great vibes/friendly environment). Captain Scott and 1st mate John were great hosts and made a safe, helpful and enjoyable experience! Scott gave some really interesting facts about Charleston as we sailed and we got to really enjoy the boat. Very relaxing vibes and really enjoyed the seats on the front of the boat to watch the sunset!
This was an incredible experience and by far the best choice in Charleston! We got to relax on the catamaran with views of the harbor, dolphins, and sunset. A special shout out to our crew, Scott and Ashley, who were fantastic tour guides and went out of their way to make sure we were having the best time!
This was such a memorable experience on the Serendipity. Captain Dustin and his crew are fantastic! The boat is really beautiful and comfortable - and it's so nice that they limit to 12 guest so you have plenty of space. We also had perfect weather and the most gorgeous sunset. I know that's not guaranteed but it made the experience extra special. The charcuterie and champagne toast were a nice touch. Pro tip: you can pick up cans of wine, beer, or seltzer at the Island Cabana Bar. It's a great casual spot to get something to eat and have a drink out on the dock before the sunset cruise. You shouldn't hesitate to book this fantastic experience. In fact, if you can only book one excursion in Charleston, it should be this one. You will love it!
Words can’t express how much we enjoyed this trip! Great hosts(captain and 1st mate) made this special. Sunset was phenomenal. Highly recommend!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our experience with Charleston Sailing Charters was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, Captain Scott and crew Madde L and Allissa were absolute amazing. They were welcoming, knowledgeable, and made the entire charter so much fun from the moment we stepped aboard. The crew created such a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere while making sure everyone felt comfortable and taken care of. Their energy, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm made the experience truly special. The sailing itself was beautiful, but it was the incredible crew that made the day unforgettable. If you're looking for a fun, memorable experience on the water, I can't recommend Charleston Sailing Charters enough. Huge thanks to Captain Scott, Madde L, and Allissa for making our trip so wonderful, we'll definitely be back!
It was awesome and the staff was so fun and accommodating! We did the sunset cruise and it was the perfect amount of time and the champagne toast was a great start to the ride!
Fabulous experience…Captain Dustin and Maddie were terrific hosts…beautiful evening…pleasant sailing with a breathtaking sunset over Charleston. We even had a few dolphins pop up and watched a sailing race. Hard to replicate, but these two can do it if anyone can. 5 Stars +!
Captain Dustin and Maddie were excellent guides and hosts during our 2-hour cruise around the harbor. We thoroughly appreciated learning about the history while enjoying a Charcuterie Board and Prosecco. This was our first time in South Carolina and chose Charleston for our honeymoon location and absolutely enjoyed the 2-hour journey around the harbor for our final excursion. Captain Dustin and Maddie were very personable and were attentive to making sure our experience was nothing short of enjoyable. A Charcuterie Board and a bottle of Prosecco were provided for our comfort. We did ended up having to pay for the other 2 spots but was definitely worth it for a more personable experience. I can't recommend Captain Dustin enough for a wonderful 2-hour journey around Charleston!!!
