Review of Charleston’s private Mystique sail, with dolphins, Battery views, Fort Sumter, onboard comforts, pricing, and booking advice.
“Capt Rob and Maddie were just awesome! The wife and I decided it would be great just take a morning sail around the harbor. Rob and Maddie were the best. It was our first time sailing and they really showed us what sailing was like. We had a great wind that morning and they took full advantage and gave us an amazing experience. Can’t say enough nice things about them. Look forward to our next trip to Charleston and will definitely be sailing with Mystique again!”
