Hilton Head Sailing Tours & Charters

Hilton Head’s sailing excursions offer an interesting and often quieter alternative to the dozens of tours of the area available on powered boats (thematically, the sailing tours are the same — nature and sightseeing, sunset cruises and trips coinciding with the island’s weekly summer fireworks displays).

Sailboats range from very small recreational sailing boats, through family-sized sailed yachts, to large vessels able to accommodate dozens of people. You can choose either a tour or a charter for your trip.

Tours are generally open to the public and priced on a per-person basis. Charters are for your own group only, and can offer more flexibility than a public trip, in addition to a private and more intimate experience. If you have a group of five or six people, the price of a private charter is often comparable to a public tour.

“We had an amazing day on Top Shelf.  The kids had a ball on the Jetboat and Seabob while we enjoyed watching from the upper lounge area. The crew helped us all learn to wakeboard! The lunch served was the best we have had on the island . Thanks for a wonderful day on the water.”

We booked a night Cocktail Cruise. Captain Edin put us in the perfect place to watch the sunset on the sound. The hors d’oeuvres were to die for! Our twelve guests loved the venue . What a great yacht to host a party on.”
