The Schooner Pride, Charleston

We had the best time on the Schooner Pride 7/21/22. Captain Jackson was very friendly and welcoming to all the guests as was the rest of the crew, deck hands Dan & Brett. They were very knowledgeable about the area. They made our 1st sailing experience an awesome time and an extra special birthday for my husband. Thanks again Jackson, Dan & Brett.

A quick preview to give you the flavor & feel of being on the charter sail boat "Schooner Pride" across the Charleston Harbor in Charleston, South Carolina, USA. Check local brochures, the phone book, and/or at hotel lobbies information kioskes to find the schedule that works for you. Be aware some are booked with TOO many passengers - you'll feel like a sardine on deck with little room to move around. We found midweek around midday are best since the tourism is lighter than on the weekends. Often if you wait until the last minute, you can find out if there is too many to make the trip special and/or fun by simply walking up - but that requires a very flexible schedule on your part. My wife & I can't stand being STUCK in a crowd, so the latter option is the one we've generally gone with. Either way - it's always a fun ride. I just prefer to be able to roam around & check things out freely. (Being an old engineer & Marine will do that, LOL!). I do gotta say I LOVED the moonlit cruise - had a full moon - and quite nice. The crew is always accommodating, nice, and willing to put up with a guy like me who always has about a thousand questions. (What? Why? How?) I highly recommend it if you've got the means, but DO try to book a mid-week trip, preferably during lighter hours, if you want maximum enjoyment. Or if you like a party crowd - they get some of those, too! :-D
