About this property

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 3 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 really unique place for people to relax and enjoy nature - and judging from the reviews, the people who have spent time with us agree!

My husband, son and I stayed on this wonderful and cozy boat and had the best time. Everything you need is right there as it has all the amenities of home and bonus snacks, wine and coffee provided. Not to mention the peaceful surroundings. We slept like hibernating bears in the cabin as the gentle current creating the perfect sensation for sleep. Such an adventurous place, highly recommend!

James Island stay Review

My family and i live in Charleston. We needed a time out and due to a busy life and constraints we opted for something in our area. This sail boat was the perfect place to slow down, catch our breath and remind us of the beautiful area in which we live. We are incredibly grateful for the ease of access/communication and amenities. Thank you Ash

Complete Relaxation!

Even though the weather did not cooperate our first day/night, we enjoyed every minute of our stay! Check-in and check-out were super easy. The location was perfect! Gorgeous sunrise and sunset. We took the kayaks out and fished from the dock. Watched dolphins, egrets, herons and a HUGE pelican. Complete relaxation!

Fun, comfortable and convenient

From day one of our stay Cooper was an awesome host. He met us as we arrived and showed us the boat, which is beautiful and comfortable. Kayaks, fishing poles, beach and bathroom towels and amenities all were laid out and available. The crab basket in the water and wine awaiting us was a pleasant surprise. Cooper was unintrusive yet available almost immediately with a simple text. All this and only 5 minutes from Folly Beach and 10 minutes from Charleston. This place is truly a hidden gem.

Absolutly awesome

The location is exactly as advertised. Please keep in mind its a boat, its not huge. However, it has all the modern conveniences you would expect outside of cable TV. Location is absolutely wonderful, 5 mins to folly beach, 10 mins into Charleston. Cooper was very quick with any responses and met us the first day to show us around the boat. would certainly do it again.... and hope for a little better weather :)

About the host

Hosted by Cooper

Well, I'm from South Carolina, and down here we learn to be kind, respectful, and help one another. So that's what I try to do. This time I want to help you have a great time while you're here.... so come on ya'll, let's have a great vacation!

Why they chose this property

Why THIS property? ..... Because it is really cool. We've spent over two years building the perfect dock, outfitting the perfect yacht, and creating an environment that relaxes you the second you drive down the road. This is your paradise, and no one is going to bother you while you're here. Go fishing, go crabbing, swimming, bird watching, kayaking, paddleboarding, dolphin watching, or simply relax in the hammock with a good book.

What makes this property unique

While there are other boats to stay on in Charleston. They are all at marinas where they will not let you swim, they would rather you don't fish, and while they are closer to downtown Charleston, they are 15 miles from the beach, and full of people running around. This is different. We have built a private experience for you. A place on the water far away from anyone else, and not only can you swim, fish, crab, and kayak - we provide all the equipment!
