Tranquil sunset tour, which was what we wanted. We had some difficulty getting to meeting point, which was entirely our fault. Received plenty of customer assistance with that - the captain even met us in the parking lot. He and his mate were friendly and knowledgeable.

The Captain and crew where knowledgeable, friendly and fun. Just relax and enjoy the time with your family.
We had a very nice sail around the Harbor. Captain Brian and Darina were great. You can bring your own drinks and food which was nice.
Not luxury by a long shot. It was a very long tedious walk on the dock to get to the boat. The boat was smallish and we could actually see where people were living and sleeping onboard! The beds were a mess! People were nice.. but typical unkempt dudes not a “yacht” experience! There were 6 of us and we were like sardines. Not recommended
We had the the most relaxing and amazing time. Would highly recommend this experience!!!! The Captain and First Mate were exceptional!
We were in Charleston on a girls trip and wanted a more private experience. I cannot say enough positive things about Matt our captain and his cocaptain (I forgot her name but she was wonderful). They were so welcoming and attentive. We were so excited to be there, see dolphins, and get some cool photos. Sometimes people can be very annoyed with that amount of enthusiasm- they were not at all. So so wonderful and made us feel so safe & able to have a great time! Cannot recommend enough.
Judd and Preston did a great job, we had a beautiful sail and loved getting to see all the amazing views from the water
The experience was great. The crew was very polite and made sure everything was perfect. Boat is amazing.
Captain Matt and Beth were amazing! We had a wonderful time! They were great tour guides and made it a very enjoyable experience.
Boat ride wasn’t bad little quiet for us and the sun was pretty heavy and since the awning is very small you get baked so make sure you have lotion and not spray since it’s not allowed.Theres no back rest to relax and sit back on the sail boat so makes it a little uncomfortable,maybe that’s normal not sure.Overall it was a nice relaxing experience.
Great charter to explore Charleston from the water! Me and my family had a great day on the water. Matt and Bethany were so knowledgeable and easy going. We will definitely do it again soon!
The ride was amazing! Our captain was Brian and our host was Franzi and they were both fantastic!! Highly recommend this ride!
Matt and Bethany were fabulous! Matt gave us a nice history of the area. We really enjoyed having a private sailboat tour celebrating our group of friends’ 60th birthdays! We brought our own food and Bethany treated us like queens serving it up on platters. Highly recommend!
Captain Brian and First Mate Bethany were THE BEST. Very pleasant and knowledgeable. We had a great time chatting with them, and Bethany wouldn't let us lift a finger during lunch. Made for a relaxing sail around the harbor. Highly recommend!
Wonderful sail! Relaxing and beautiful!
Brian and Barrett were awesome! Wonderful relaxing sail. They brought us anything we needed and helped us take photos! 10/10
We had a nice relaxing afternoon. We sailed out past the fort and had a beautiful view of Charleston from the water. The bean bag chairs were a very comfy way to enjoy the front of the boat. The service was fantastic.
We had a wonderful experience on our sunset cruise. We were a group of four friends and we brought on wine and snacks. Warren was a great captain, who met us and walked us to the yacht. Erin was an amazing first mate. She made sure we had our drinks filled and snacks served. During the cruise, we saw dolphins twice and had a nice explanation of the history of the area. Erin took pictures of us too. A great time was had by all! Highly recommend this experience for a group.
This was a first time experience and worth the cost. It was just the two of us along with the captain and first mate. Service was excellent. Weather was wonderful. We chartered the 36 foot sail boat. My partner says, you can’t put a price on a memory! True words to live by! We will definitely do this again.
This was such a perfect way to see Charleston! We loved the experience. Matt and Bethany were fantastic hosts!
We had a wonderful time with Brian and Bethany! The boat was in great condition, and they met our every need. :)
We really enjoyed our private tour with Robert and Matthew! The tour was interesting and the skipper and first mate saw to our every need.
Captain Brian and Bethany were wonderful. They were very attentive and made sure we had a great time. We were in town visiting our son and his girlfriend and wanted something a little different to do than just visiting all the shops and restaurants. We went out for a 2 1/2 hour sail and it was perfect. The bean bag chairs at the front were perfect for lounging. I’m very glad we booked this, we will definitely do it again the next time we are in the area.
The crew was super nice and attentive. We had a relaxing boat ride enjoying the day and the view. Would do again.
Myself and four friends did the 36 foot sailboat at 3 pm with Blue Life Charters and had a great time! From the beginning to the end they were absolutely fabulous and accommodating. The boat was very nice and had a back seated area near the captain, and inside underdeck area with a fridge and bathroom and a front area with cupholders and beanbag chairs. The captain and first mate were both great and take such good care of you. We brought on our own drinks and food and the first mate took care of it for us and got us anything we needed so we could just relax and enjoy. Absolutely recommend and I would do again!
Pay attention to directions to ensure you are at the correct dock to board. Very beautiful view of the Charleston waterfront and very romantic.
This was my favorite part of our 3 night stay in Charleston! It was so relaxing. We brought rosé and listened to our own music. Captain Warren and Bethany were great hosts! Highly recommend!
We booked the sunset private sailboat charter while visiting Charleston on our annual girls/cousin's trip. Initially it was overcast and cool, so we were worried about the sail. It turned out to be a highlight of our trip. Preston and his first mate made it fun by providing a bluetooth speaker so we could play our favorite music, shared info about certain points of interest as we passed by, in addition to serving us our wine through the hatch - talk about service! The sail ended with an awe- inspiring sunset. All-around, a fabulous activity. I highly recommend this tour, you won't regret it!
Excellent boat, excellent staff, magnificent views, perfect Charleston experience.
A good time was had by our whole family on a sunny but windy April day. Captain Brian did a great job.
Great captain, beautiful boat, relaxing fun way to see more of Charleston. I highly recommend this experience.
The boat was 38ft and spacious for us 4 adults. It appeared to be in very good shape The weather on 3/25/26 was chilly at about 65 degrees and partly cloudy but quite breezy making for a GREAT day for sailing!! The captain (Patrick) was most excellent and professional but very friendly and easy to talk to, and informative about the things we would see. The first mate (Bethany) was also excellent and accommodating and friendly as well. They seemed to work very well together. My wife and I were able to take advantage of the bean bag chairs up front which were VERY comfortable. If you’re considering a harbor sailing adventure then this boat is the one to get and if you’re lucky enough to get the crew we had then the excursion will definitely be a memorable one!!!
expect a peaceful and relaxing sail around the harbor. bring a light jacket if you have the sunset sail. Our captain’s Brian and Jake (or Zack? sorry😬) were amazing. They were so chill and let us just soak in the experience. They rescheduled our morning sail for the sunset time because of rain. We really appreciated the attention yo safety and commitment to us having the best experience. They both kept an eagle eye out for dolphins and pointed them out to us. we were fortunate to see quite a few close to the boat. I would recommend sailing with these guys 100% !!
It was a cold windy day but the team made us comfortable and was able to take us around the area in relative comfort. They were also very informative about the area!
Brian and Madison were fantastic. I would highly recommend! Both were very competent sailors. They were very friendly and took great care of us
Captain Warren and First Mate Michael were kind enough to take us out on a very cold day! They were great sports, hospitable, and knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommend the experience!
Captain Pat Wood, and his sidekick Mike were just amazing. Constant information and all the while diligently working on sailing. They made it look easy even though there were so many intricacies. We are so grateful for such a perfect day sailing!
It’s excellent. A terrific way to relax for 2.5 hours Skipper Glenn & mate Zach were terrific. We had enough wind to sail. Watched the start of a sail boat race.
Captain Ryan & his 1st mate I believe Zack were great! Informative on the local history of harbor & Fort Sumpter. They served us our byob’s & lunch. Loved the bean bags up front which were so relaxing. Cruise was all around fantastic! 1st class!!!
Friendly Captain (Holly) and Crew (Jules). Good communication before and during the sail. Holly took safety seriously including watching a potential storm in the distance and adjusting course for it. Jules took care of us by serving us and checking to see if we needed anything which allowed us to sit, relax and enjoy the cruise. We enjoyed being on the water, seeing all the other ships, the smooth sailing and seeing dolphins. I would definitely recommend this as a special thing to do while in Charleston.
Will and Zach were fantastic. My parents really enjoyed the experience their anniversary and this punctuated their trip to Charleston.
Well priced for a private yacht cruise. We just chilled as we enjoyed the scenery and the dolphins. Captain Holly and her first mate were knowledgeable, friendly and very service oriented. I would definitely do it again.
The operators were extremely knowledgeable and personable. We felt very safe. The harbor is gorgeous. It was fun to see the beautiful homes and also the cargo ships coming in and out. We had gorgeous weather…it was a highlight of our vacation!
Everyone should experience this. Our captain and co-captain know what they’re doing and make you feel very safe and comfortable. This was the most relaxed I have been in months. Thank you!
We chose the sailboat trip for myself and my travel buddies. Will and Zack were the best! If you have never sailed before this is an awesome experience to check off your bucket list . Great vibes, amazing views, and the best company !
Captain Will & Zack were fantastic! They made every possible effort to ensure we were safe & happy. They were attentive, witty, and a genuine delight!
Friendly crew and amazing sunset views on a lovely sailboat. I would definitely book this again. You absolutely won't be disappointed.
Brian and Austin were amazing captains and gave us an incredible and memorable experience to culminate our trip to SC. The sunset sailboat trip was as informative as it was relaxing and the vibe was very chill. They took amazing family photos for us as well. The sunset was the best we’ve ever seen. Would recommend 1000%.
The yacht tour was a great adventure. A different side of Charleston and exhilarating to feel the sun and breeze on your face. Captain Brian and First Mate Austin were knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly and made us landlubbers feel perfectly comfortable (and safe). A great value and an excellent way to spend the morning.
Wonderful experience! Will and Troy were perfect captains and hosts for our afternoon sail! We really enjoyed ourselves!
