What an incredible afternoon! We had an absolute blast on Esprit de Joy with great friends. I couldn't imagine a better way to get on the water and enjoy the company of friends and family along with a great view of downtown Charleston. Captain Will thought of everything and made our trip that much more enjoyable. We will definitely be back soon!

Sailing around Charleston Harbor is one of the best ways to experience Charleston! I love being out on the water and seeing the beauty of the area, birds, and historic sites. Sitting on the bow of the boat is one of my favorite things to do. We were well taken care of by Captain Will. The boat was clean and comfortable. My friends and I had a great time!

MarieMarlton

I purchased a sunset sailing experience for my husband’s birthday. We went on a sunset sail with friends and had a wonderful sail while watching a beautiful sunset. Kyle was very welcoming, his boat was clean and there was plenty of room for all of us and the weather was perfect. I would definitely choose to sail again with Kyle and Esprit de Joy.

I would give 10 stars if I could. Esprit de Joy is a beautiful sail boat and a wonderful way to see Charleston by water. Captain Kyle is very welcoming and a skilled sailor. Don’t wait, make your reservation now and enjoy some of the best sailing around Charleston harbor.

There was nothing but JOY on this charter! We had a fabulous time on the Espirit De Joy with Kat & Captain Kyle! I couldn’t imagine a better way to take in all Charleston has to offer. The sunset was breathtaking, the captain was so accommodating from letting us connect to the music to curate our experience to getting the right photos for us! With the ability to BOYB & cater from a local company, you are sure to have a wonderful evening. I can’t wait to board the Espirit De Joy again - it’s the perfect excuse to get your friends and family together. Thank you!

This sailing trip was a dream. The boat was immaculate. It was a relaxing, perfect evening cruise that was exactly what my girlfriends and I were hoping to experience. The captain was super nice and took care of everything. We will be returning!

alysha_conner

My friends and I joined for the sunset sail and it was such a wonderful way to spend the evening. Captain Kyle was great, I would highly recommend and will definitely be back for another adventure!

kathrynmA3155VZ

It's just a fantastic way to spend time on the Charleston Harbor. Being a resident of this beautiful area, I have been on dozens of private harbor sails, but sailing on the Esprit de Joy is the BEST! The boat is immaculate, and Captain Kyle is so informative and yet laid back in his approach. He makes you feel comfortable and totally relaxed. If you like, he will let you take part in the entire sailing experience by taking part in actually sailing the boat if you are so inclined. My group of friends try to get out on the water as much as possible, and Charleston Harbor Sailing is our go-to every time! Simply THE BEST!
