Captain Andy & Dave were wonderful! So much knowledge to share. We’d been on touring boats before but this was by far the best experience. Teaching us about the sailboat, offering us to steer & feel how the sailing works, just amazing. Plus the beauty of the lowcountry & Dave giving us such cool information on it we’d never heard. Well worth it, highly recommend!
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Elizabeth, Thank you for the great review. We are so glad you enjoyed your sail with us and will pass this on to both Captain Andy and Dave as well. We look forward to sailing again soon with you!

What a truly magical experience!! My family and I chartered a private boat for my dad and his wife’s 80th birthdays. We had such a beautiful ride out, and saw some dolphins along the way! But truly nothing prepared us for the absolute joy and splendor of being on a sailboat, watching one of the most beautiful sunsets we had while in Hilton head. If you are on the fence, I highly encourage you to book this experience. It was so relaxing and joyful, and Jude and Captain Andy made the experience so incredible for us! They both were such a joy to talk with and gave us so much information on sailing! Our entire family agreed that it was the standout experience of our trip.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Katie, thank you for the wonderful review. We are so glad you enjoyed your sail with us and the company of Andy and Jude. We look forward to sailing again soon with you next time your in Hilton Head!

We had a group of 4 for a girl's weekend. We saw so many dolphins and birds!! Our crew was courteous, knowledgeable, and we loved the cozy blankets they offered as the evening grew chilly. We highly recommend!

Thank you, Heather, for the great review. We are very glad you 4 enjoyed your sunset sail with us. We look forward to our next sail together - we will keep the blankets warm for you!
Christopher_S, Aug 2022
Very chill, relaxing sail. Winds were mild but guys did a great job finding a bit and teaching our teenage boys about sailing and letting them get in on the 'action'.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Chris, thank you for the great review. I wish we could control the wind but so far we have been unsuccessful. I am glad that you enjoyed your sail and we look forward to sailing again soon with you and hopefully we can show you the exciting side of sailing with good wind!
JENNIFER_K, Aug 2022
Paul and David were great captains! So nice, helpful and very informative. Lots of great stories and information about local wildlife. Sunset was beautiful. Got to see dolphins. Our kids, 7 and 8 years old, were able to help with the sails and steer too. Fantastic experience all around. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Aug 2022

We went on the Sunset Sail for my mom’s 60th birthday and we loved it! Our family of 5 fit perfectly and enjoyed every minute of cruising, chatting, and site seeing with the wonderful Paul & Kevin! They made the experience so fun & relaxing, a perfect end to a day on Hilton Head Island.

The crew was very knowledgeable about the local area and shared some stories along the way. It was wonderful having the boat hold only the six of us so it was a wonderful, intimate cruise with my besties.

Alicia_B, Oct 2020
I wish I could give this 10/5 stars. Do not pass this by!! My sister and I sailed with Captain Paul and Kevin on the private sunset sail. The wind wasn’t cooperating with us, but they did everything they could to show us a great time, including opening the sails for the few minutes they could. They didn’t have to do that, but they insisted. Their boat is beautiful and clean. Their service is above and beyond. Their knowledge of the surrounding area was great and it was delivered conversationally, which made it feel like we were sailing with friends. I can’t recommend this company enough. The experience was worth every penny.
Response from Host, Oct 2020
Ally, Thank you for the great review. We are so glad you enjoyed your sail with us. We will be looking forward to sailing again with our new friends!

Captain Paul and Jude were fabulous! We had bad weather come in and had to cut our tour short but they did a great job of making us feel safe. The short time we had was great and I would do it again.
