See more
Experience the beauty of Charleston Harbor on a private luxury sunset sail aboard the 50ft sailing yacht Fate BYOB. Whether you're looking to spot dolphins, enjoy breathtaking sunsets, or even participate in a sailing yacht regatta, this charter offers it all. Fate is the largest and most elegant sailing yacht available for charter in Charleston, renowned for her stunning under-sail appearance and luxurious interior.
Departing from downtown Charleston just minutes from most hotels, your sail typically lasts between 2 to 4 hours. Depending on wind conditions, you might sail toward Fort Sumter or the Ravenel Bridge, taking in the sights and sounds of the harbor. You can choose to listen to a narrated history tour or simply relax with music and enjoy the scenic views—it's entirely up to you.
We provide complimentary bottled water and soft drinks. Feel free to BYOB or opt for catering through Caviar Bananas, which can deliver charcuterie, wine, champagne, beer, or even dinner directly to the boat. Make your sunset sail truly special with your preferred refreshments and company.
