Skippered Charters
"Ned - Just returned to Tulsa from Charleston, and have some of the best memories of my life. Sailed Saturday on Moon Shot with my family and 85 year old father. My Dad, with Alzheimers and vertigo, said it was a heaven he would never forget, and felt confident and on an "even keel" the whole time. Thanks to Skipper Jay for such a remarkable trip, and all the fun he contributed. I AM READY to join his ocean sailing team. Thank you, and thanks to your whole team, for making this happen."

Charleston Yacht Charters:
Let Us Take You Yachting
Allow yourself to get carried away on the breezes of magnificent Charleston Harbor on a full-sized yacht. Relax and enjoy the experience while our skipper uses the quiet power of the wind to take you on a relaxing sail, taking advantage of winds and tides. The views of Charleston and the islands from a 33+ foot yacht simply can't be beat. Our yachts comfortably accommodate up to 6 people. For those in your group that enjoy helping out, our skipper appreciates the extra hands.
We offer yachting every afternoon and evening. Sunsets are particularly enjoyable, and we invite you to bring a snack or hors d'oeuvres.
Your sailing experience will be memorable and enjoyable. Our boats are first class, as are our skippers. We look forward to sharing with you the sailing experience that we love.
Reservations at least 24 hours in advance.
Bareboat Charters
You have located the only bareboat charter company in town.
We are pleased to offer you a comfortable, non-tippable, day sailer, the Colgate 26' keelboat.
For your first charter if you've not taken a class with us, and regardless of your experience, one of our captains will spend an hour or two on the water with you to introduce the vessel and the harbor. Checkout includes a display of skill levels practical for our conditions, which include 3-knot tides and tight quarters maneuvering. The checkout fee is $100, a one-time fee; for any future charters you incur only the charter fee.
