Daytime Dolphin Sail Experience in Charleston

Experience the wonder of sailing Charleston Harbor on a classic 84 foot tall ship. As the boat pulls away from the dock, help the crew hoist the sails if you wish, and then sit back and watch the wind fill them, moving the Schooner Pride through the waters and past some of the most historic sites in the country such as Ft. Sumter where the first shots of the Civil War were fired.

Discover the tranquility of cruising the historic Charleston Harbor on a genuine tall ship, powered only by the wind in the sails.

While this is not a narrated cruise, the crew is happy to answer questions and point out landmarks and you're welcome to help raise and trim the sails or you may sit back and enjoy the ride!

As the boat sails through waters that Blackbeard once anchored in, relax on deck and imagine a time when the harbor was filled with these majestic ships. There is no set route; the boat just follows the winds wherever they take it.

The Schooner Pride, is an 84-foot, three-mast schooner modeled after the classic coastal trading schooners. She is an authentic tall ship and possesses all the character and class of a ship designed during the great days of sail. She is USCG certified to hold up to 49 passengers.

The operator aims to make your experience of sailing aboard the Pride as enjoyable and thrilling as it is for the crew. The captain and experienced and friendly crew are more than willing to do whatever they can to ensure that your sailing experience is a pleasurable and relaxing one.
