They advertise this as a dolphin tour. Never came close to seeing a dolphin and literally drove in a small circle for an hour on a sailboat. Crew offered us a bottled water and we both had one. At the end they said we owed $8.50 for water. For $100 sailboat cruise and no dolphins they shouldn’t charge for water. Rip off.

I seriously do not recommend this ride. Its not only way too expensive for what you'll actually get out it, its a serious time waster when you have so many other things to do. This crew had one purpose, to serve you drinks. There was absolutely no sailing experience provided. The boat spent 70% of its time running a trolling motor, then hoisted the sails for some minor experience, to only sit stationary or let the current take you around the harbor. This boat never moved faster than walking pace, they never took us even remotely close to the landmarks e.g. the fort... We stayed close enough to Charleston to identify those ashore. If you enjoy sitting out on the water for $58 per person / $232 a family, merely hear the water clap the hull and just stare off (they might had even dropped an anchor for all I know) , not experiencing the thrill of sailing, this is the ride for you. As you see, I am incredibly disappointed. I have taken schooner rides before and maybe spoiled. we captain would provide a brief history of the boat, you would watch the crew work the sails as they tack the surf, the feeling of listing on the boat maneuvers... You'll get no sailing experience from this ride. Merely find a place to sit, enjoy the sun and pray for a breeze because the boat will not move fast enough to make one for you. BORING!!!!!

Great crew, a lot of good information. Unfortunately we did not have too much wind so they had to use engines a few times. Fun experience!

We had a great time on the schooner. Saw lots of dolphins and pelicans, and staff was very friendly. Highly recommend the schooner!

The afternoon sailboat dolphin tour was a big hit with me and the kids. Saw some dolphins. The view was magnificent. Weather was great for a sailboat tour.

Trip was rained out. The refund was automatically and easy the staff was courteous and helpful while trying to figure if the trip was a good

It’s ok. I think if you guys even just give a little history i would have upped the review. Honestly wouldn’t recommend for what we paid for.

Great experience. Captain Dan and crew were very informative and we had an enjoyable time. Thankfully we did get to see a few Dolphins, and my daughter was able to help hoist up the sails. Some of the people were concerned about getting sea sick, but it was a smooth ride. No issues!

The captain and crew did a great job. They were very attentive and answered any questions they were asked. Their input was very informative.

Highly recommend this cruise! Every employee on board was extremely kind and professional and we had a blast. They created a friendly atmosphere and even had us laughing during the safety briefing. You can easily socialize with the crew and other passengers or just keep to yourself and take it all in. We were some of the last to board and noticed there were still seats available at the very front of the boat. I’m surprised these weren’t the first to go because we loved sitting there—great views and great place to take photos. (That said, there’s not a bad seat on the boat.) In the summer, the 4:30 cruise is perfect. The sun is a little less intense and makes for lovely views. You can have a glass of wine on board and then walk to dinner after the cruise. If you want to wear a hat, make sure it’s attached to you somehow so it doesn’t blow away. I think our captain was named Dan. Again, he and the rest of the crew were absolutely fantastic. Would love to do this again and only wish it were a longer trip!

This is a great way to enjoy an afternoon in warmish Charleston. This was the second time we took this trip. We like being out on the water. It was great fun for us

We really enjoyed our time on the cruise. Captain Dan and his team were extremely friendly and helpful. Everyone seemed to be having a nice, relaxing time.

An excellent crew made the sail a delight! Attentive to any and every need, friendly and eager to help, and to be helped by the kids on board. The captain was professional, friendly, and entertaining. The boat is well maintained and beautiful. Of course, a sunny day with plenty of wind, didn’t hurt the experience any. Enjoyed this immensely.

Had a great trip with Captain Dan & Crew! It was really chill, enjoyable sail! Plan to do again on our next trip! Perfectly timed trip- not too short, not too long!

Perfect partly sunny day. Helped hoist up the sails. Calm quiet sail around the harbor and to the Ashley river. Great captain and crew. Beautiful clean ship.
