60' Sailing Yacht on a Private Dock
There's simply nothing else like it in Charleston!
300 yards down a private road and you're in the middle of the breathtaking marsh. Just you, dolphins, birds, the occasional kayaker...and of course this big sailing yacht.
The three well-appointed cabins, two bathrooms, a living area, and a modern galley, provide a comfortable stay, to be sure....but who's staying inside when you can spend time on the large dock - relaxing with a good book, grilling out, swimming with the dolphins, paddleboarding, kayaking, or even fishing one of the best spots in town!
This Blue Water Yacht spent most of its life sailing between California and Alaska, although she's been around the world twice. Her classic teak woodwork, comfortable layout, and modern amenities make for the perfect stationary getaway on the water.
Oh...did I mention you get to name her? That's right, we've painted the back of her hull with chalkboard paint, and we provide the chalk. So have a little fun and come up with a cool name!
The Yacht is on a very secluded dock just off the Folly River. This paradise is all yours for your entire stay. You can relax in the hammock or sit at the picnic table on the large pierhead overlooking the marsh. You can take one of the kayaks (we have 2 singles and 1 double) and paddle through the marsh exploring, go swimming, or try your luck fishing or crabbing from the dock. You can also enjoy a breathtaking sunrise and sunset - relax in the chairs on the dock, or up on the pierhead where you will always find a cool breeze.
There are other places you can stay while you're in Charleston, but none of them are like this. You will be staying three football fields away from the nearest house. Just a mile from a grocery store, liquor store, and even a Chinese place - but you won't even think about that stuff, because you're in the middle of a beautiful marsh enjoying the outdoor adventure you always dreamed about.
It is absolutely fine to invite guests to the dock to hang out while you're here. However, it is not fine to have a big party. You are also not allowed to just add additional people (over the 5 people you can book) to stay overnight unless you check with us in advance. You are welcome to trailer your personal boat down and put it in the water next to the dock (we have a ramp) then dock it on the same dock if you like. That makes it pretty easy to get up in the morning and go fishing. :)
We have spent over two years building this paradise on the water. We like to think we've created a unique place for people to relax and enjoy nature - and judging from the reviews, the people who have spent time with us agree!
For entertainment, guests can enjoy Smart TVs. Other amenities include kitchens, 1.5 bathrooms, and patios.
