Sail Charleston’s historic waterways after dark, passing illuminated landmarks while watching for dolphins, shooting stars, and glowing water.

About this tour

Set out after dark for a moonlit sail through Charleston’s historic waterways, where city lights shimmer against the night sky. Aboard Windchaser, take in the waterfront from a fresh perspective as your guide leads a 3-hour cruise along rivers shaped by centuries of history.

Look for the lights along the Old Battery wall, the USS Yorktown, and the Cooper River Bridge. The route also passes the Old Carolina Yacht Club, known for its haunted reputation. Keep watch for dolphins, shooting stars, or the rare glow of bioluminescence caused by tiny organisms in the water. Sightings are not guaranteed, but the nighttime scenery makes the journey memorable in its own right.

This Charleston moonlight sail is a relaxed way to share the harbor with your crew and see familiar landmarks after sunset. Meet at the dock’s master office, then step aboard Windchaser for an evening on the water. Book your Charleston moonlight sail and discover the city beneath the stars.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • 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. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
