Private Daytime Sailing Tours on Charleston Harbor

A Charleston Harbor cruise with Blue Life Charters is a private sailing tour aboard one of our sailing yachts, not a shared boat with strangers. Step aboard and spend two and a half hours on Charleston Harbor, with cool coastal breezes and open views of the Charleston skyline the whole way out.

These daytime harbor tours are built around privacy and pace, no other group aboard, just your charter moving through the harbor. Guests searching for a Charleston harbor tour, a harbor cruise, or Charleston harbor boat tours are booking the same private trip described here. Visitors exploring the Holy City and locals looking for a new Charleston sailing adventure book the same charter.

Whether you’re visiting Charleston or a local looking for a new way to see the harbor, a Charleston Harbor cruise runs $525 for a 2.5-hour private charter, up to 6 guests.
