Charleston Harbor is a historic waterway known for its landmarks and wildlife, including bottlenose dolphins. This 90-minute sailing cruise departs from Aquarium Wharf near Concord and Calhoun Streets aboard an 84-foot classic tall ship powered solely by wind. After boarding, the crew raises the sails and the schooner moves through waters once frequented by Blackbeard. Passengers can relax on deck while sailing past notable sites such as Fort Sumter, the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier at Patriots Point, the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, the Battery with its waterfront homes, and Charleston Waterfront Park. The cruise route may vary depending on weather conditions. The crew is available to answer questions about the landmarks visible during the trip, although the cruise is not narrated. Passengers may assist with raising and trimming the sails or simply enjoy the view. Bottlenose dolphins often swim and play near the boat. Guests may bring their own food but beverages must be purchased onboard, where beer, wine, and soft drinks are available. The schooner offers shaded areas under the sails and access below deck for sun protection, although the vessel is not wheelchair accessible due to stairs and a gangplank required for boarding.
