    Captains Janet and Jen have created something special here with their woman-owned sailing operation. The reviews paint a picture of two professionals who genuinely love what they do and know how to share that passion with guests. They prioritize safety while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and fun, making everyone from first-time sailors to bachelorette parties feel completely at ease on the water. What stands out most is the personal touch. The captains take time to explain interesting details about Charleston's waters and marine life, they're approachable and friendly, and guests consistently mention feeling welcomed rather than just shuttled around. The boat itself gets high marks for being well-maintained and comfortable. Several families mention bringing kids who had a blast, while others rave about romantic sunset cruises with drinks. The experience seems equally suited to celebrations, family outings, or anyone checking sailing off their bucket list for the first time.
