    Review summary

    4.9
    Excellent
    238 reviews•Google Maps

    Captains Janet and Jen have created something special here with their woman-owned sailing operation. The reviews paint a picture of two professionals who genuinely love what they do and know how to share that passion with guests. They prioritize safety while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and fun, making everyone from first-time sailors to bachelorette parties feel completely at ease on the water. What stands out most is the personal touch. The captains take time to explain interesting details about Charleston's waters and marine life, they're approachable and friendly, and guests consistently mention feeling welcomed rather than just shuttled around. The boat itself gets high marks for being well-maintained and comfortable. Several families mention bringing kids who had a blast, while others rave about romantic sunset cruises with drinks. The experience seems equally suited to celebrations, family outings, or anyone checking sailing off their bucket list for the first time.

    Captain Jen and Captain Janet were amazing! So friendly, helpful, and informative. Weather was bad the day of our sail, so we weren’t able to leave the marina, but they generously let us hang out on the boat for a bit to chill and have lunch, and they offered us to come back another day to sail for free. Cannot wait to come back! :)
