My wife and I have been celebrating our anniversary in Charleston for 13 years. The evening sunset cruise was the most relaxing, enjoyable and memorable thing we have ever done in Charleston. I look forward to doing it again next year. |

Fun boat ride |

We expected a simi informational cruise thru the harbour....but....we got nothing of the sort.. There was no music, no info and no fun...The only thing that was good were the young trainee's that brought you drinks. At least they had a sense of humor, the captain was bored too....
NOT RECOMMENDED... |

When your customers board the boat they are greeted by a laid back crew. It is a very relaxed environment. The Captain was friendly and informative on the safety of the vessel and we were off in a timely fashon.
We motored out, as the captain described we would do, the sails were set and it was nice that they included the guests to assist in pulling the sheets that set the sails. A great photo opp.
The anticipation and excitement of an enjoyable evening out on the water had begun. The sky was clear, the wind warm and a picture perfect sunset embarked over Charleston.
Then the music started! Or perhaps I noticed it after the motor was cut.
It took away from the experience!
This was our chance (the customer) to listen to the water rush by the hull, to listen to the sails luff in the wind, to be with our own thoughts and nature. That is what we paid for.
Sailing would be boring without these senses. It's what it's all about!
The girl tried to give us some history on the harbor and that was very nice. I know it was not a history tour but remember again that most of the people are not from here and don't know the history.
What could have made it better?
No music!
History!!!
How about a big paper map (easily stowed) of the harbor that shows where you are, the locations of the two rivers and their names.
Tell us why the harbor was such an important stronghold during the war.
Point out the direction where the Boone plantation slaves made bricks that built the structures that George Washington had built out on the island.
Give us a scenerio on how much time it took to get back and forth, by boat, to a plantation.
Send us back in time, perhaps when the revolutionary war started in one of the most famous harbors in the US.
Let people know how important shipping was back then.
Point out Fort Sumter like you did.
Get our minds into another era.
Tell us about the Big Houses along the shoreline surrounded by trees and the fancy people that could have lived in them.
Again, offer us a drink midway into the sail, like you did at the very beginning, to wet our lips and allow us to ponder what we are lookng at.
Tell us about the boat we are sailing on.
Do these things and you will not have to ask for a tip at the end and tell us how hard you worked. And we, (the customers) will not be offended and would be willing to part with a little extra cash for the crew without feeling guilty.
Over all the sail was nice but there was no wow factor. If you like to go out on an uneventfull cruise this is for you. There is always the "thrill of the sail", even on other boats.
The sunset was awesome but, I wish there was no music, The crew was friendly but struggled with their guests for conversation and at the end the Captain asked for a tip for the crew, which I felt, and pardon the punn, was very tacky. Out of 10 points I rate this a 5.
I must keep in mind this was not a history tour. Others in my group rated it a 7. |

Our sunset cruise was a wonderful experience. My husband and I would recommend this to anyone. It was nice and relaxing without being too "touristy". The crew was very down to earth and incredibly friendly. The next time we are in Charleston we will definitely be back. Absolutely recommended!!!! |

Good time |

Crew was very friendly and helpful. Ship is beautiful and the two hour sail is just right. Drinks are served and helpful information given. Even though there are a number of people on board, the crew makes you feel like you are the only one. Take your camera, the potential shots are great. |
|
Fantastic way to spend an evening... |

We LOVED it! The boat is clean and the crew is friendly. I loved seeing the sunset and how we were not talked to the entire trip about our surroundings in the harbour. If you want that, you may need to look elsewhere. This was relaxing, enjoyable, and if you are curious, the crew is more than happy to explain things. We learned a lot but were not overwhelmed with information and had plenty of time to just sit, enjoy the ride, chat with others, and relax. I'd highly recommend this trip! |

Great crew, beautiful boat, awesome time! |

The ship was not that comfortable as there were only limited place to sit. Since it relied on the wind, and their was little, all we did was motor out past the harbour and sit their for 45 min. Then he said we need to motor back in. Waste of time and money. I would not recommend this to anyone as it is not a comfortable way to spend two hours. Then they asked for our help with the sails. I wish I could get my money back as this was not a great way to spend the $75 dollars I spent. |
