It would have been the perfect evening but ...
Sat, Jul 21, 07   7:00 PM ccyoho Male 30-39 Local Family Without Children
We really enjoyed our time on the Schooner Pride. The sunset was beautiful and we took several fantastic pictures. The folks operating the ship were very friendly and helpful. My wife and I were having our first weekend without kids around the house in several years and we were looking for a quiet, romantic way to end the day. The sunset cruise on the Schooner Pride ALMOST completely fulfilled our desires for the evening, but circumstances more or less out of the control of the ship's operators made the evening less than it could have been. Roughly half of the people on board were apparently having an office party. They spent the entire cruise drinking and talking loudly to one another. Looking around, it seemed as if my wife and I were not the only ones who wished that the office folks had decided to cruise on the Spirit of Charleston instead. It's hard to have a quiet, romantic evening when there are 15 others loudly cutting up around you. This isn't any fault of the Pride's operators, but it sure did detract from a perfect evening. It's the only reason I didn't give the Schooner Pride five stars.

harbor sail (b.y.o. history books)
Thu, Jul 19, 07   1:00 PM blairok Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
The daytime trip on the Schooner Pride is a lovely sail through the Charleston Harbor. The boat cruises around several historical sites, lovely beach homes, famous islands and an array of sea life, including dolphins. The website that recommended this activity referred to it as a harbor tour. The title of "tour" is slightly misleading. Our family group of six thought that we were on a guided tour of the harbor, particularly since the website specifically mentions several historical sites that we wanted to see. To our surprise, there is no "guidance" on the tour. However, one of the mates kindly offered a brief historical narrative and pointed out a few locations so that our time would not be completely bereft of educational value. The "tour" would benefit from a spoken or even written guide. I would gladly pay an extra five dollars to have someone point out the buildings and sites and give some framework to the land/sea scape. However, even without the guide, it makes for an absolutely wonderful event.

Great side trip
Thu, Jul 19, 07   1:00 PM larry07 Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This was our 6th trip on the Schooner Pride. The weather was extremely hot but there was a terrific breeze in the harbour. We have sailed on the evening cruise before and on the day cruise. The captain and crew were most helpful and had a good knowledge of the area. Passengers were invited to assist the crew in handling the sails. Beverages are available on board and include beer, wine and water at a nominal price. As advertised the tour left on time and lasted the full two hours. I highly recommend either day time or evening cruises. Our experience has always been delightfull. We always include a harbour tour on the "Pride" as part of our Charleston experience.

Nice, but could have been better
Mon, Jul 16, 07   7:00 PM lbhirtz Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
We really enjoyed things, but we were expecting more of a "tour" I guess--more interaction and instruction from the guides. The folks were super nice on board, but we really had to generate conversation--and again we expected this to be somewhat instructional, with some discussion about Charleston and what we were seeing out there on the water--but pretty much it was quiet and looking at the water and having to ask questions ourselves. It was an easy sail and very beautiful--I would only recommend it to folks who wanted to relax and simply sail--not to anyone who was looking for more. Still we enjoyed it!!

Great ride...more city please.
Sun, Jul 15, 07   7:00 PM sherrylee63 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
It would have been absolutely fabulous to sail closer to the battery. I was on the Pride a few years ago, and we went right along the battery, which is why I took my friends on this little cruise. This time, we went straight out towards Fort Sumter. Not as neat to see. People want to see the Battery and the penisula...all the homes from the water. Change that and it would be fantastic.

Need some excitement
Sun, Jul 15, 07   1:00 PM Ardella Female 40-49 Unspecified Individual
Enjoyed the sailing, but the ride was long, hot, and boring. Hot can be dealt with because of the weather, but there was nothing else going on. The crew didn't give us any history or info on the city or the harbor. Capt. Terry was knowledgeable, and his crew was friendly (Angela and another younger male). I will still reccommend the trip--just hope that it will offer more excitement. Thanks a lot!

RELAXING!!!
Fri, Jul 13, 07   1:00 PM jimmyadams1 Male 50-59 Combination Family With Children
My nephew and I volunteered to raise the main sail, then sat back and enjoyed the ride!!! He loved the "hands on" experience. I loved the "relaxing" atmosphere and made me want to go out and by a sailboat.

Sailing was great, but the weather...
Sat, Jul 7, 07   7:00 PM chthomko Male 50-59 International Tourist(s) Individual
Was on board in time. Shortly before we started a thunderstorm broke loose. So we did have some wind, but it was also pouring down. Ponchos didn't help much as they were blown away. The crew was friendly and competent, the tour as such may be pretty nice if undertaken in good weather. We didn't see any sun and consequently we also couldn't observe any sunset. However we had the chance to observe some dolphins alongside the schooner. The vessel is in good shape (I'm an active sailer myself, so I think I can judge that). I would recommend the tour to everybody, given weather is not as bad as it was for us.

Relaxing but no narration
Thu, Jul 5, 07   7:00 PM atwoodnca Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We would have enjoyed this more if there had been even a little bit of narration. There was about 5 minutes narration regarding the sails and safety and that was all. The staff was pleasant just a little too quiet. Definitely not for young children, our boat was at capacity so there is very little moving around and a third of the people were not sitting on benches.
