2. Fort Sumter National Monument
Fort Sumter holds significant historical importance as the site where the American Civil War began. Located in Charleston Harbor, this National Monument is accessible only by boat and offers a glimpse into the events that shaped the nation’s history. As we trim by, we invite our guests to imagine the echoes of the cannon fire that reverberated across the harbor.

Spent a wonderful afternoon sailing with friends on the beautiful Esprit de Joy.
Captain Will showed us a great time.
The winds were fair, the weather was sublime and we were entertained by dolphins and a regatta that was underway. It is a great way to awe the sites from the water.

Charleston Harbor Sailing is a must for visitors and locals! I went in the afternoon with friends and it was such a relaxing experience. Captain Will made sure we all felt comfortable sailing with him. Highlights were seeing the Charleston battery from the water, a fun regatta, the cruise ship docked and some dolphins close to the boat. Do put it on your list....

We had the absolute best time with captain Will for our sunset cruise! We’re locals who had guests in town and this will definitely be a new staple recommendation. Everything about the experience was seamless, Will was very helpful leading up to the charter and so friendly and welcoming on board. Not to mention the boat and harbor is just gorgeous. Thanks again!

Sailing around Charleston Harbor is one of the best ways to experience Charleston! I love being out on the water and seeing the beauty of the area, birds, and historic sites. Sitting on the bow of the boat is one of my favorite things to do. We were well taken care of by Captain Will. The boat was clean and comfortable. My friends and I had a great time!
