Sunset Sail Aboard Schooner Pride Offers Timeless Charleston Harbor Experience

Visitors seeking a memorable evening on the water can experience Charleston Harbor aboard the Schooner Pride, an 84-foot, three-mast tall ship offering a relaxing two-hour sunset sail. As the vessel glides through historic waters under wind power alone, guests are treated to spectacular views of Charleston’s skyline, church steeples, and waterfront landmarks bathed in the warm colors of the setting sun.

Modeled after traditional coastal trading schooners, the Schooner Pride provides an authentic sailing experience that captures the charm and elegance of a bygone maritime era. While the cruise is not formally narrated, the friendly and knowledgeable crew are available throughout the voyage to answer questions, identify landmarks, and share insights about Charleston Harbor and its rich history.

Passengers are also invited to participate in the sailing experience by helping the crew raise and trim the sails, adding an interactive element to the journey. Those preferring a more leisurely outing may simply relax on deck, enjoy the gentle motion of the ship, and take in panoramic views as daylight fades over the harbor.

Certified by the U.S. Coast Guard to carry up to 49 passengers, the Schooner Pride offers an intimate and comfortable atmosphere for families, couples, and visitors of all ages. Combining historic charm, natural beauty, and traditional sailing, the sunset cruise provides a peaceful and unforgettable way to experience Charleston Harbor.

Beautiful boat ride around the harbor and protected island. Be prepared to bundle up with it being much cooler/windy at sea (vessel doesn't have an indoor area so you're exposed to the elements). There is an audio recording for significant sights while the captain stops for photo opportunities. Easy to access via public transportation from Howth DART station.

A lovely way to look at a familiar place through a different lens. The journey left the Harbour and headed over to the nose of Health and then up around the island of Ireland’s eye the commentary was informative when you could hear it, but of course the birds were fairly noisy. Great to fill in a few hours when you’re traveling by yourself.

We booked the Sunset Cruise for the Friday evening of a sunny summer day, and the views were breathtaking. The cruise takes you around Ireland’s Eye Island, allowing you to get closer views of the magnificent cliffs. During the evening, when all the birds have returned to their nests, you can witness a magnificent view of the island. Some birds are still hunting for food on the water, and the view of them flying while the sun sets behind the beautiful orange sky is simply mesmerising. I highly recommend this cruise for young couples or an unforgettable date night in Dublin. Families can also enjoy an evening out on this cruise. Occasionally, you may spot seals peeking out of the water and looking at you.
