Luxury Sailing & Outdoor Adventures in North Myrtle Beach

This seven-hour private charter on Freedom is the longest on our list and built for lingering. The operator runs a 42-foot catamaran from Cricket Cove Marina with a route through the Intracoastal Waterway, past the Little River waterfront, out Dunn Sound to Waties and Bird Islands, and into open Atlantic. The day is deliberately flexible: you can take the helm, help set the sails, beachcomb on a quiet sandbar, and watch dolphins ride the bow. The itinerary notes that the Captain will anchor behind Bird Island to give guests time ashore for a picnic prepared by the party—an appealing option for groups who want both sea time and island exploration.

On a practical note, the listing includes a storyteller private charter rate and recommends guests bring any motion‑sickness remedies they prefer; gratuities are optional.

The published rate is specified for couples and the operator asks guests to call the captain after booking to firm up details—useful for customizing how the evening unfolds.
