Had the BEST sunset sail with Captain Brian and first mate Bella. The boat is clean, comfortable and we had amazing weather for a perfect sail. Brian was so much fun, knowledgeable about the area and a skilled sailor! Bella was extremely attentive, pointed out lots of landmarks to us and was so sweet to talk with. This was the highlight of our trip!!

My husband and I booked this for our 1 year anniversary and it was such a beautiful and romantic experience. We ended up being the only ones on the sailboat and had it all to ourselves. The guides were knowledgeable and super accommodating. Definitely recommend this!

We booked a private charter for a sunset cruise as part of our girls weekend, and needless to say it was the highlight of our trip! Huge shout out to Captain Brian and first mate Zach! They were super knowledgeable about Charleston history, attentive/always made sure our wine glasses were full, and timed the cruise and the direction of the boat for the PERFECT golden hour pics!! We had an incredible experience thanks to them! This is a must do for any trip to Charleston!! Highly highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

My husband and I booked a sunset cruise with Blue Life Charters for a vow ceremony, and it was truly the most special day. Our captain, Brian, and our photographer, Franzi, went above and beyond to make everything seamless and unforgettable. They took care of every detail on board, which allowed us to just relax and enjoy the moment. The photos Franzi captured honestly took my breath away—they are beyond beautiful and something we’ll treasure forever. If you’re considering booking, don’t hesitate. Blue Life Charters made our experience and our special day absolutely incredible. Everyone needs to experience this!

I booked the sunset cruise for my family during our Charleston vacation and it was the greatest decision. Captain Will and first mate Erin were exceptionally accommodating. Their laid back demeanors made us feel so welcomed and relaxed. Erin went above and beyond to take care of all of our needs and make sure my entire family felt comfortable while Will chartered the harbor through incredible scenic views. We watched sailboat races from the water, spotted several dolphins, cruised past fort Sumter and gawked at gorgeous homes and yachts all while taking in a gorgeous sunset on a beautiful evening. This experience was by far my family’s favorite vacation activity

The sunset cruise was remarkable and memorable! The crew were very helpful to this older lady who has trouble walking on surfaces other than ground or pavement. My most enjoyable, comfortable, relaxing and memorable adventure in Charleston.

What a great night out on the water! We chartered with Blue Life to celebrate 2 birthdays! All 9 of us had a great time. Captain Will and Zach were friendly, helpful, and professional. We felt safe and had a great sail around Charleston. I highly recommend! You’ll have a blast and won’t regret it!

This was such a great experience! The entire team made the trip so enjoyable. They kept our drinks and snacks in a cooler and brought them to us as we needed them. They were also very knowledgeable about the area we were sailing and were able to point out interesting houses and landmarks along the way. Would absolutely book again!

PERFECTION FROM BOOKING TO DOCKING Blue Life Charters made Turing 60 something to look forward to. Whit and Crystal created the perfect experience when five ladies gathered to celebrate the occasion. Popsicle, our canine sailing companion, added a welcoming touch. Our every want and need were met by the captain and first mate. Whit had a wonderful sense of when to interact and when to leave us to socialize. He had knowledge of the harbor and shared it appropriately. Crystal seemed to know exactly when a refill was needed. The catering we had from Caviar and Bananas hit a home run with the entire group. I highly recommend Blue Life Charters if you have an afternoon to spend in Charleston.

Highlight of Charleston trip Review of: Private 2.5-3 Hour Sailboat Harbor Cruise We visited SC from FL end of March for a week. I planned this sunset cruise on the evening of my husband’s birthday, and it was a perfect night. Witt and his first mate where very friendly & easy to talk to. They made us feel very comfortable and gave us our privacy as well when we wanted. They have a Bluetooth speaker you can hook up to and pick your own music but we just enjoyed listening to the waves. We brought wine and they put us in touch with a local restaurant and I pre-ordered a large charcuterie board to enjoy on board. I did a lot of research before booking and keep going back to this family owned company, glad we made the right choice. Look no further, you wont regret it 😊
