Highlights
Outing Highlights
Golden Hour Over the South Carolina Shoreline
The trip is timed to deliver sunset views from the water as you cruise the inlet and Atlantic shoreline, with sightlines that accentuate the coast’s low islands and fishing‑village waterfront.
Raise the Sails — Be Part of the Crew
This private charter is customizable and invites passengers to assist the captain with hoisting the sails once wind conditions permit, shifting from powered cruise to true sailing.
Coastal Wildlife and Quiet Islands
Expect opportunities to see local wildlife—including the chance of dolphins—and to pass uninhabited islands such as Waties and Bird Island as the boat moves toward the mouth of the inlet.
What the day feels like
What the Evening Feels Like
You board at the marina and follow the Intracoastal past the historic Little River fishing village waterfront into the inlet; when the wind is favorable the crew raises the sails and the engine is shut down, letting the boat slip past uninhabited islands and out toward the Atlantic for sunset, all on a fully private charter with your group and a captain.
