We had a wonderful time sailing with Will and Laura! They were experienced, attentive, and allowed us to catch up with friends in a beautiful environment. The boat was impeccably maintained and sailing was smooth despite cloudy weather. I highly recommend this experience—it was the highlight of our trip to Charleston!

Very good & calm experience....

Mohit_P, Sep 2023

We had an excellent time with Captain Will and first mate Justin. They both took good care of us, the overall ride was very smooth & enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Blue Life Charters for a good calm sail experience around Charleston - Sunset cruise/sail package is best.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thanks so much for the review. Great to hear you all had such a great time and enjoyed a beautiful sunset charter while visiting!

Wit was a great captain!...

Robin_J, Aug 2023

Wit was a great captain! I would recommend this experience. I’ll definitely be back. It was worth it!

Lovely Afternoon on the Water

coreywitte, Aug 2023

Our group of six had a wonderful time! It was a very relaxing way to spend the afternoon and take in views of the city. Will (captain) and Crystal (mate) made the trip especially enjoyable!

100% Recommend!!

Katie_W, Aug 2023

Such a great experience! The captain and mate had never sailed together before but you would never have known that. They were both extremely professional, very knowledgeable and a pleasure to enjoy a beautiful day on the water with. We took a few hours to enjoy family time before the move into college of Charleston. Normally our adventure in Charleston includes a horse carriage ride, but this definitely surpassed that! 100% recommend

Perfect sunset sail

Jessica_P, Aug 2023

My friends and I had a wonderful time sailing with Wit. He was so friendly, personable and knowledgeable. The sailing tunes were a nice plus! We will definitely be booking with them again the next time we are in Charleston!

Awesome family experience

Marcela_P, Aug 2023

Great experience! My family went sailing (2 kids ages 9 and 12, 2 adults) it was fantastic! Kids got to see dolphins and they enjoyed the experience. The crew was great!
