OM Sailing Charters offers a first-class Charleston Harbor cruise aboard “OM,” a fast and beautiful 2005 Leopard 43-foot catamaran sailboat, docked at 24 Patriots Point Road in Mount Pleasant. Weather permitting, guests sail past the Charleston Battery, Fort Sumter, Fort Johnson, Sullivan’s Island, and Fort Moultrie, and may even reach the Atlantic Ocean and back during a 2.5-hour sail.
Billed as the fastest charter yacht on the harbor, OM cruises at 8 knots with a max speed over 12, offering 6’6″ headroom, a 23-foot beam, and four queen-size berths. Unlike a monohull, the catamaran design won’t heel, providing a stable, spacious platform above and below deck, with 360-degree visibility from the cockpit’s double helm seat and a hardtop bimini for shade. The boat is professionally captained by Matt Thibeault, Matthew Chase, and Jeff Jacobs, all with extensive offshore and cruising experience, and guests can choose to be hands-on or simply relax and enjoy the ride.
OM Sailing Charters suits family fun, yacht parties, after-work sunset cruises, marriage proposals, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and corporate team-building events, accommodating up to 6 guests standard (up to 12 with advance arrangement). Guests can anchor in the harbor to swim before a relaxing sail — BYOB, with catering available and no booking fee.
Rates run $600 for a 2.5-hour day sail, $675 for a 2.5-hour sunset sail, and $1,200 for a 5-hour full and sunset sail, with $75 for each additional person over 6 and $175 for each additional hour. Cancellations up to 72 hours in advance carry no penalty.
With 97 reviews at a 5.0 average, plus more than 100 five-star TripAdvisor reviews and features on ABC News and TripAdvisor’s “Best Boat Charter in Charleston,” OM Sailing Charters has built an outstanding reputation, with countless guests describing engagements, family trips, and girls’ weekends as truly magical experiences.
For groups in Charleston looking for a fast, luxurious catamaran sailing charter for a day sail, sunset cruise, proposal, or celebration, OM Sailing Charters offers a highly reviewed, award-recognized operation out of Patriots Point.
