Home About Us
After acquiring an as-new, 2007 Beneteau 49, two new friends, Captain Joey Medaloni and Captain Dustin Ryan, spent nearly a year sailing from Charleston, South Carolina, to the British Virgin Islands, and then on to Puerto Rico, Bahamas, and Mexico. On arriving back in South Carolina in late 2009, the two captains realized that Charleston was missing a professional, luxury sailing and yacht charter company. Their year abroad made them confident in the boats' seaworthiness, and their abilities as captains, and they began chartering around Charleston Harbor as the newly founded Charleston Sailing Charters LLC. With each year more successful than the last, the business became a mainstay for the city. Today, with three boats, Sailing Yacht Fate, Sailing Yacht Mystique, Motor Yacht Kismet, and a full staff of Captains and Mates, Charleston Yacht Charters strives to provide excellence in every aspect of services to you.
With over 6 decades of combined experience.
