We loved our Charleston Schooner Pride sunset sail! Amazing evening, the vessel and the crew were awesome. They made it so fun. Pleasant experience places to sit and enjoy lots of sailing and the views. Thank you Captain Dan and mate Ben

Nice sail, friendly crew. Lousy company.
I booked a ticket on their website a day before our sail. We drove to the dock to make sure we knew where to park the next day.
We showed up about 30 minutes before our scheduled departure. An employee of the marina confirmed we were in the right place. Signs for the sail were still in place. 6 more people showed up. After about 10 minutes, I checked my email on my phone. I found 75 minutes prior to the departure time, I had an email from Pride announcing that the departure dock had changed to another location about a mile away. Given the long walks to parking in both locations, we ran/walked up to the boat at the scheduled departure time. We never saw the other six people.
The crew apologized and offered drinks - for which they eventually billed us.
I detailed this experience to their email address 1 week ago - crickets!
That's no way to run company. I expect on time notifications, maybe even a phone call for the change in itinerary. After the fact, I expected an official apology, and at a minimum, my drinks should have been comped.
It's hard to recommend these guys!

Our experience on the Schooner Pride was very enjoyable! The ride was smooth and calming, making it the perfect way to unwind and take in the beautiful views of the water. The crew was friendly and professional, ensuring a safe and pleasant trip.
The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is that there wasn’t much information shared during the sail. It would have been nice to hear some details about the history of the area or the landmarks we passed. That said, if you’re looking for a peaceful and scenic sailing experience without a guided tour, this is a great option!
Overall, a lovely and relaxing outing—I’d definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to enjoy a tranquil time on the water!

I can’t rave enough about Capt Dan and his crew! Sarah Tom and Ben were outstanding. Providing beverages and good conversation. You can’t beat the price.
We were made to feel at home and relaxed as we shared stories of where we’re from and hoping to go in life.
Thx for a very memorable experience. I hope you get a chance to see this and know what a good group you are and the impression you left on us! 👍🏽❤️

Such a great way to end our Charleston weekend. Highly highly recommend! We did the Sunset Sail and it was not a guided tour which made it even better as we were able to just relax and sip wine while taking in the views. Getting to see dolphins was a surprise bonus! Staff was highly educated and professional but still personable.
