Get ready to embark upon a boating experience like no other available in South Carolina. The fun takes place aboard an 84-foot tall schooner modeled after the 18th century trading vessels that once graced the harbor in the early days of the state’s oldest port city.
Board the Schooner Pride from its dock adjacent to the South Carolina Aquarium and get ready to set sail on a sunset cruise and wine tasting combo that’ll make your visit to Charleston all the more memorable.

As the ship leaves the dock, you’ll have the option to help hoist her sails and then feel the wind carry the vessel around the harbor while you enjoy the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of this fun adventure.

Along the way, you’ll likely enjoy some dolphin play alongside the vessel. And depending upon the tides, wind, and general weather conditions, you could sail in any direction. Perhaps you’ll pass under the majestic Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, or cruise past the Yorktown — or get a glimpse of Charleston’s famous Rainbow Row.
