| My husband and I enjoyed meeting and talking with the crew and our fellow passengers. It was a very congenial group, and I think everyone on board enjoyed the experience. We sipped wine and relaxed and took in the view, especially the beautiful sunset. We visit Charleston five or six times a year, and we plan to do this again. We have already recommended this excursion to a lot of our friends who visit the Low Country. |

| i would definitely recommend this trip to anyone. the harbor is beautiful and watching the sunset from the water with no sound except the waves hitting the sides of the boat was breathtaking. there were moments where it was so pretty that everyone aboard was totally silent... except for whispers of amazement. Try to plan for a time when the sky is clear, if you can. it is worth the money. |

| it was a little crowded, seats weren't exactly comfortable and if you sit at either end of the boat you might have to move/be on the lookout for moving objects more than if you were to sit near the middle. i wouldn't say it was extremely romantic because there were people within inches of you in every direction, but it was still a beautiful sail. the crew was very nice and knowledgeable. saw a dolphin. i would recommend it. |

| Finally, a wonderful bit of peace in our hectic lives! The sun going down, the soft sounds of the water, the sails billowing above...peace! Now when I need to imagine a peaceful place in my life, I'll reflect back on this calm evening! |

| This was a pleasant sail with my husband and my parents. My husband and I have sailed in several other areas (Camden, ME; Annapolis, MD; Chicago, IL) on replicas and authentic ships and found this cruise to be almost as enjoyable. Other sails have included a snack and beverage, but that precludes bringing a picnic or your own snacks as the Schooner Pride allows which is a nice option. This particular sail was a sunset sail and the sunset was beautiful. There wasn't a lot of wind this evening, so the sail was a bit slow and probably involved a bit more engine than we would have liked. My husband was also a bit disappointed to see a metal mast rather than wood. The sail did not go out around the Battery as I would have liked. It would have been nice to see the water front Charleston homes from the water, but going out further is no doubt required to get the wind. The crew was very nice and informative. They'll answer any questions or will just start sharing historical information which was great. Overall, probably not my favorite sail, but very pleasant and well worth the cost and time spent. A nice evening event that offers a change from just wandering the streets of Charleston. |

| I had never sailed before so this was really neat for me. It's not really a guided tour, but the captain and mates are knowledgeable and personable. We didn't have good breeze, so we didn't sail the whole time but that was okay. You gotta work with what you're given! :) |

| Very relaxing which is what we wanted. For other than locals, it may would have been nice to have someone explaining what we were passing. They answered questions, but did very little talking on thier own. |
