"Highlight of our Charleston weekend" Charleston Sailboat Charters

Captain Jay and his crew mate Lauren were great tour guides. We loved getting to see the city from a different perspective and be out on the water on a beautiful afternoon. It was really the highlight of our Charleston weekend! I would highly recommend a private tour on Mental Heeling.
