Private Morning Dolphin & Sailing Tour in Charleston
See more
Set sail on the private morning dolphin tour aboard the 50ft Fate, the largest and most luxurious sailing yacht available for charter in Charleston. Whether you're looking to spot playful dolphins, enjoy stunning sunsets, or participate in a real sailing yacht regatta, this experience offers it all.
Departing from Downtown Charleston, just minutes from most hotels, your journey typically lasts between 2 to 4 hours. Depending on wind conditions, you might sail toward Fort Sumter or the Ravenel Bridge, taking in the sights and sounds of Charleston Harbor.
You can choose to relax with some great music, listen to a narrated history tour, or simply enjoy the beautiful scenery. We provide complimentary bottled water and soft drinks, but you're welcome to BYOB or have your favorite drinks catered through Caviar Bananas—think charcuterie, wine, champagne, beer, or brunch delivered right to the boat. It’s your trip, your way.
