What a fun way to see Charleston!! The Captain was a cool guy and knew a good bit about the area. Drinks and an amazing sunset on a cool boat! What more could you want? Would definitely recommend anyone and everyone do this when visiting Charleston.

Captain Bob gave us the ride of our weekend - could not have been more friendly, knowledgable, and accommodating. We’ve done several similar rides but this was by far the best experience. HIGHLY recommend to both tourists and locals wanting a fun day at sea.
★★★★★ Nick H
I took my kids out on Captain Jay’s boat who showed us around in the harbor. We saw dolphins, and the kids got to steer the boat too. I highly recommend this tour with Captain Jay or Captain Bob!

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION
After a brief safety speech, we will shove off the dock and head into the scenic Charleston Harbor.
As we raise the sails and turn the engine off, you'll immediately feel the relaxation set in and discover why the sailboat is named Mental Heeling.
You'll be involved as much (or as little) as you prefer as we navigate the Harbor together. Tacking and gybing our way to the various landmarks including: Fort Sumter, The Battery, USS Yorktown, Castle Pinckney and the iconic Ravenel Bridge.
Guests under the age of 13 will be required to wear a life jacket per the US Coast Guard. I will have adult and child life jackets onboard.
