About this property

Luxury yacht in downtown Charleston, SC

Enjoy the beautiful sunset and watch Charleston's resident pod of dolphins as you stay on our 2 Bedroom/2 bathroom 40' yacht! Park for free at our fantastic location on the Ashley River and the peninsula of beautiful downtown Charleston, SC. Walk to a Riverdog's baseball game (single-A affiliated with the Yankees), or simply watch the stadium's fireworks from the comfort of the yacht's deck while sipping a cocktail. Cross the street to Publix to grab any groceries you need for your stay. We are right around the corner from the Citadel (go Bulldogs!), and minutes away from the shopping and nightlife of King Street. Charleston's southern charm, historic mansions, and world-renowned restaurants will be at your fingertips!

The yacht has a fully equipped kitchen (stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker). We supply kitchen necessities and a fully stocked spice rack for those who like to cook. There are 2 flat screen TVS with two blu-ray players, and plenty of board games. No fear with children as there is a first class playground in the park adjacent to the boat 200 yards away. Both bedrooms have custom-made memory foam mattresses that feel like supportive clouds. Take advantage of the boat's central heat and air, or open all the hatches and windows to let the sea breeze flow through. Fresh linens and towels provided. Wifi and a huge selection of movies included.

We love our yachts and strive to create a wonderful vacation experience for our renters. This yacht is part of the Redfin Charters’ Fleet. RedFin Charters has been seen on Discovery Channel, Bravo and ABC. We were also voted best fishing Charter in Charleston the last six consecutive years. Please ask about fishing and sight-seeing charter options including dolphin, shark's teeth digs, eco tours, and sunset cruises on one of our many boats. We are happy to create custom charters to meet your needs. We will gladly offer you a discount if booked at the time of making your reservation. This is a dockside charter and not a short-term rental. By booking you are chartering the boat to remain at the dock during your stay.

We would love to share our favorite place in Charleston with you!

Can’t beat the view; the boat is at the end of the harbor so unrestricted views of dragon boats, the harbor, the sunrise and the sunset. Comfortable accommodations and easy across-the-street run to the grocery to pick up anything you need.

We enjoyed our time and it was a great stay. It did smell a little moldy but think that might have been from the rain. We will definitely stay again!

Waterfront living at the marina!Grandparents parents and 1 15 year-old. We ordered In some catering and heated it on a double boiler.Host delivered a high power microwave to supplement the built-in. A quarter mile walk along the deck from the parking lot. But flat and well maintained. Sunset were beautiful. The boat doesn’t sail and hasn’t been some time so it was the same sunset and only changed depending on the weather and surf.Lots of beautiful birds, egrets, and something like a heron. Definitely a change from a standard hotel.

I wouldn’t describe this as luxury. Late check-in process, one of the bathrooms out of order, microwave doesn’t heat, no WiFi or ability to use TV, gate key fob doesn’t work, bucket of stinky filled fish remnants. A/C was cold though.

We enjoyed our stay and would return. The view is superb! The fridge/freezer take over a day to get to the correct temperature. Everything was clean except for the vent returns. The door to the cabin was difficult to close and open and did not lock.

We enjoyed our stay on the Yacht. Jeff was extremely kind and explained everything to us. We had no problems at all. The only thing I wish we had known in advance was how far we had to walk from the parking to the yacht. My husband was recovering from knee surgery and it was a long walk for him.

What a fun way to spend our time in Charleston! Yacht is docked permanently in a gated marina with easy but safe access. Unobstructed views of the Ashley River drinking coffee in the mornings and watching dolphins play at sunset while rocking in huge rocking chairs on the main deck. Inside was spacious, plenty of extra linens, single cup Kuerig, fridge and freezer, pull out sofa, and convertible kitchen booth/bed. Bathrooms were great, large master with full size tub/shower. Water never went cold. Hardly felt boat rock. Super fun time and would definitely stay here again!

You can't beat the price for accommodations in Charleston. You won't find a nicer "balcony" view than the one we had here. We would definitely do it again.
