Folly Beach is small, you can walk around a lot of the beachfront and city center on foot, but having a car will make visiting local towns and attractions easier.

    Sailing Catana 431 Catamaran Yacht in Folly Beach, South Carolina

    We had the BEST time with Ryan and Barrell (1st mate)! Ryan was communicative, helpful, and created a great environment for us. We rented for a bachelorette trip and are still talking about our boat trip. We’d definitely use him again if we’re ever back in Charleston. We can’t recommend enough.

    Captain Ryan made this the absolute best part of our trip to Charleston. His boat and amenities are incredible and his knowledge of Charleston matches. I could not recommend booking with him enough he will truly create a magical experience for your trip!

    Gabriel was very communicative and nice from start to finish. He was flexible with pickup/drop off time and accommodated my request to see sunset. Captain Zan took us out on the boat and he was fantastic! He setup the floats and games for us without us even asking. He made sure we were happy the entire time. The ride felt safe and was comfortable. I am very happy I chose Gabriel's boat and would rent from him again in a heartbeat!

    Captain Ryan truly went above and beyond to make our Charleston trip extremely memorable! His boat was beautiful and where we sailed was stunning. Good music, dolphin watching, charcuterie, and the cool waves beneath us. Hands down the best part of our trip and we cannot wait to do it again next time we visit!

    We cannot say enough about Greg! He’s knowledge of sailing, the area, and the ability to make you feel like you’re at home on his beautiful boat. Your mistake would be not having Greg as your captain! Thank you for a wonderful experience and look forward to the next time!!!!
