Let me start by saying, I am a Charleston native. I haven't lived in Charleston since 1996. I do go back a couple times a year, to visit my family. Charleston has changed and continues to do so. There's so much to do and see in that beautiful city. I went back for a visit mid-April, to celebrate an enormous event in my life. I went to celebrate my 10 year sobriety anniversary! I have never been much of a "water lover", because of an early childhood memory on Folly Beach (being washed up on the rocks), so going sailing was never at the top of my bucket list. Well, I can honestly tell you, I have been missing out. I was only in town for 4 days and events worked out that I, along with 4 of my family members, were blessed to have taken an evening cruise on Dorothy. WOW! JUST WOW! It was amazing!!! This is going to be a memory I will cherish forever! I didn't even get a lot of pictures taken because I was enamored with the beauty and hospitality. Melanie, Walt and Fisher were amazing! Melanie went above and beyond to make us comfortable and relaxed. Walt was the perfect captain, patiently answering every question one of my family members had (her nickname is 'the interrogator' LOL). It was Fisher's, official, first time and you would have thought he was a pro! My mother, who can't swim and has never been in water above her waist (to my recollection), was on board and never seemed uneasy! I could never put into words how breathtakingly beautiful the scenery was. It is something you can not experience on dry land! I am still fascinated by the amount of work it takes to get those sails going and the team work it takes. I would and will recommend Sweetwaters Sailing Charters to anyone, whether you are just looking for something fun to do, or celebrating a momentous occasion. Even if you are a local just looking for a relaxing evening. You can't go wrong on this beautiful boat equipped with this supreme crew! If I had to use one word to describe my experience, it would be..... Utopia! read more

Whether you are here on vacation looking for a relaxing excursion or here in town looking for something new to do, Sweetwater Sailing Charters is for you! I had the pleasure of joining friends for a sunset cruise that can only be described as an incredible soul detox. The boat is beautiful and Captain Walter and his first mate Duane went above and beyond in providing a relaxing, enjoyable evening. I would highly recommend this charter for the day, an afternoon or evening trip. My only complaint is that my face still hurts from smiling so much! read more

My husband and I were married on Dorothy by Captain Walter. He pulled out all the stops on the planning it was more than I ever expected. It was a beautiful day to sail and get married, such a romantic setting. Captain Walt and his crew were very accommodating and gave us the most perfect wedding. We enjoyed it so much we went back for one of his amazing sunset cruises this past November. We had an awesome time. This will definitely be our go to for our next vacation. We are from Orlando, Florida and it was worth the trip every penny. read more

Beautiful Charleston the most romantic city to get married in and what a beautiful venue that we choose.

Thank you, Captain Walter for the great memories. Rosie M. read more

Captain Walt and his crew were fantastic and Dorothy is a gorgeous boat. We went out mid-June as part of a bachelorette weekend. We had a great time despite some higher winds. We even got to see Dolphins swimming/feeding in a cove. We felt relaxed and safe the whole time and it was such a wonderful way to experience South Carolina. I would say this is a must especially if celebrating a special occasion!!! read more

Walter was amazing. He took myself and 5 friends out from Seabrook. We had a awesome time. He was very informative on how the 49 ft Benateu would sail and was a wonderful Captain. We saw a epic sunset and plenty of wildlife also. If you have a chance please call him for a charter. He is pleasantly funny and a outgoing guy. I defiantly recommended him for your next wonderful and epic Charter. read more

If you want to sail away in a luxury sailboat this is the one! I have gone several times creating many long-lasting memories and photos! The captain and crew made every moment very special always ensuring my needs were met with satisfaction. This is truly a "Class A" act and I can't wait to go again! It's one trip I can say "it was worth it," trust me, you too will return! read more

We had a marvelous time under the care of Captain Walter Reid and his First Mate Rick on the evening of June 10th when we embarked on s sunset cruise. This was also a surprise for my 92 year old Aunt who had never been sailing! We were treated like royalty aboard the spacious 50' Dorothy. I highly recommend Sweet Water Sailing Charters. It's a first class operation! read more

Had a wonderful time sailing last night on 'Dorothy' with Captain Walter and First Mate Duane! The boat is well equipped and very clean. We showed up late due to a bad accident that shut down the road we were driving in on but they patiently waited for us and took us for a beautiful evening sail. I've sailed a lot and highly recommend this charter! read more

A wonderful way to spend a morning, afternoon or sunset evening. We went in the evening. The crew is friendly and very knowledgeable, the boat is beautiful and the food they served was delicious. we were a group of friends, but it is perfect for a family or couples. Limit is 6. I would definitely go out again with this charter. read more

Couldn't have asked for a better boat, crew or evening. Our group of six enjoyed every serene minute on the water with Captain Walt, Dwayne & sailing on the majestic Dorothy. Charleston has so much to offer and Sweetwater Sailing is a great part of the Charleston experience! read more

One of the most beautiful days sailing! We left Bohicket creek and ventured off shore for a wonderful nine hour tour. It was hot, but off shore the winds were a constant fifteen knots, steady and refreshing. What a wonderful experience. Thanks Captain Walt! read more
