About this tour

Set sail into Charleston Harbor aboard Fate, a 50-foot yacht made for taking in the city from the water. This private afternoon outing pairs open-water views with the freedom to shape the mood of your trip.

A standard sail lasts 2 hours, with the route guided by wind conditions and potentially heading toward Fort Sumter or the Ravenel Bridge. Keep an eye out for dolphins and historic forts as the shoreline unfolds. Prefer a little context? Choose a narrated history tour. Or settle in with music and enjoy the scenery at your own pace. Complimentary soft drinks and bottled water are provided, and you’re welcome to bring your own drinks or arrange catering delivered to the boat.

Meet at the marina’s main dock entrance and follow the signs to I dock. For a relaxed way to experience Charleston Harbor, book your private sail aboard Fate.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 59 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Charleston
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.8. Top 11% in Charleston means it ranks in the top 11% of tours in Charleston by this score.
