Private Sailing Charters for Special Occasions in Charleston, SC

Absolutely. After booking, message Captain Todd directly to share your plan. He and Kathy have helped coordinate dozens of proposals, from having champagne ready at the right moment to positioning the boat for the best sunset light at the Battery or bridge. Our best mate, Kathy, can help with capturing the special moments with video and pictures or we can recommend engagement photographers that will wear a crew shirt and look like our marketing team while they shoot away.

Up to 6 guests per charter, per Coast Guard regulations. Every booking is fully private: no other groups, no shared sails.

Yes. Every charter is BYOB-friendly. Feel free to bring wine, champagne, beer, or spirits. Even glass bottles are welcome on our stable yacht. You're also welcome to bring your own food, which our team will assemble into a nice presentation for serving. Full service.

Your charter includes fuel, a licensed captain, and crew that provides full service while on board. Catering is optional that can be arranged separately.

As early as possible, especially for weekend dates and sunset slots. Summer and fall dates can book out weeks in advance.

We get that question a lot! ⚓️📺 Charleston and Bravo seem to go hand-in-hand—and over the years, Everything Zen Sailing has been lucky enough to become part of the fun. We’ve welcomed some familiar faces from Below Deck Sailing Yacht aboard as guest crew, including Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher, Chase Lemacks, and Madison Stalker. If you’re a Below Deck fan, you never know who might show up on the dock! Everything Zen has also been used for filming by two of Bravo’s Charleston-based shows, Southern Charm and Southern Hospitality, giving our boat a little screen time of its own. And if you’re a serious Below Deck fan, check out our friends Sarah and Kelli at the Above Deck Podcast. They cover all things Below Deck, interview cast members, and have even joined us aboard Everything Zen for some Charleston sailing adventures. Also! Up and Adam podcast on YouTube for all things Bravo. He delivers the T! So no, we’re not secretly a Bravo production company 😂—we just seem to have found ourselves in the middle of a pretty fun Bravo universe.

Definitely. This is a talented bunch that have all shot on Zen: https://www.thewojo.com/contact https://www.maggiewilcoxphoto.com/ https://www.sarahgoldman.com/ https://lcphoto.org/ https://www.amyquinnhillphotography.com/
