“"Scott and jack were wonderful! The knowledge of history and the surrounding area was truly impressive. Like Scott my husband is a nuclear submarine vet so shared so many stories. Had such a beautiful day and fun chatting I never saw below deck!! Thanks again for a wonderful time exploring Charleston’s port." ” Liz Andring 31 August,2022
“"We had another great day with Captain Dustin and Mattie on Mystique. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Charleston." ” Pete Pace 31 August,2022
“The BEST. Captain Scott and Adam were unreal. They gave us the best time on the water, giving us tips about Charleston and a little bit of a history lesson to go with it. Whenever we asked or needed something, they were right there. Not to mention these were the types of dudes you want to grab a beer with afterwards. We will definitely be back, next time with our kids. Can not say enough good things about our two hours sailing on The Fate with this ” Tom Sarnovsky 28 August,2022

As any local Charlestonian will tell you, don't let our weather forecasts fool you into missing out on a gorgeous charter or beautiful sunset! Our weather forecasts call for a 30-50% chance of rain nearly every day! If it does rain, it is usually only for a short period during a pop-up shower.

01 Will I get seasick?

Since we stay inside the harbor, protected from larger waves of the open sea, it is unlikely that you would get seasick. The water is calm and the boats are only subjected to large waves created by other boats. Concerned passengers could bring products that contain ginger, such as ginger cookers, or Ginger Ale because they have been known to help calm an upset stomach. Be sure to start taking ginger or any other sea-sickness medications the day before your charter for the best results. We recommend you stay away from the drowsy kinds. Recommendations are provided for informational purposes only. Please consult your physician with any questions regarding a medical condition.

02 Are your yachts safe?

Yes! Our yachts are clean, well-maintained, and fully insured for charter. All of our vessels meet or exceed safety requirements by the United States Coast Guard with onboard equipment that includes Type 1 Personal Flotation Devices (life jackets) for every passenger, an approved Sound Producing Device, fire extinguishers, flares, a VHF radio, & an approved throwable ring buoy. They also meet equipment, operation, and pollution prevention regulations established by the Coast Guard. Vessel Captains possess a valid license issued by the U. S. Coast Guard and undergo random drug screenings.

03 Can I bring more than 6 passengers?

Yes, on our Motor Yacht Kismet, which has been specifically designed to carry up to 23 passengers. You will find 23 to be pretty tight, we recommend keeping the maximum passenger count to under 20. 

The sailing yachts both are limited to 6 passengers, however, you can rent boat sailboats and take 12, having 6 on each boat.

04 Do children or infants count as a passenger?

Yes, they do. The United States Coast Guard considers every person, except for the Captain and crew as a passenger. Children require supervision by parents or guardians at all times and must be capable of remaining calmly seated for several hours. If you are bringing younger children, we recommend a charter length of no longer than 2 hours.

We are happy to help you plan your private charter on Kismet! Let us know what you're interested in and will respond within 24 hours.

Welcome to Southern Wonder!

Dreams do come true. 

46 ft JEFFERSON SUNDECK  CLASSIC MOTOR YACHT

Southern Wonder Yacht Charters was created after years of searching for the perfect yacht to cruise the coastal waters of Charleston, South Carolina and the dream of life long friends who share a passion for the sea and eventually for each other.  Captain Mike and his first mate Poe started as neighbors in San Diego and continued their friendship over the past two decades, often getting together for Caribbean sailing trips and other adventures.  After years of sailing the  San Francisco Bay Mike sold his charter company and followed Poe to Charleston, who has lived in Mt Pleasant for the last 18 years raising 2 handsome boys.  Life brought us together to share our passion of adventure and the water with our friends, family and amazing clients. We would love to have you and your group on board with us.

Welcome Aboard!

The pilot house.

Boarding Southern Comfort you will walk up a wooden staircase and enter through the pilot house. The pilot house door slides to the back of the boat. The marina is extremely safe and gated, and there are cameras all over, including one that looks over Southern Comfort. The marina is so safe that we've never had an incident in over 30 years of boating.

Walking through the pilot house door, you enter the pilot house itself. This is mainly where we drive the boat and most of the electronics are housed. You'll notice a very large steering wheel as well as a lot of buttons, dials, and radios. This stuff is usually off-limits to our clients and guests due to the sensitivity of the equipment. We do however have a nice pilot house seat where you can sit and overlook the comings and goings of the dock. Next to that is a wine fridge in which we house some of our wines and spirits.

The Pilot House

The Flybridge

Just inside the pilot house door there's a ladder that leads to the flybridge. The flybridge is about six steps up and gets you to the top deck. This is also where we steer the boat while underway. It's accompanied by two captains chairs and farther aft a U-shaped seating for up to 10 people. The bridge has unobstructed views of the surrounding area and river. This is one of our most popular places to watch the sunset or the sunrise and relax with a glass of wine and some charcuterie. A canvas cover that reaches from the front of the pilot house to the radar arch gives shade and comfort on those hot and sunny days. Our tender is also aft of the seating area, and we rarely take that off the boat.

Back down in the pilot house, working aft, you enter the eat-in galley that seats up to six and includes a fully equipped kitchen. We have a full-size refrigerator and freezer, a microwave oven, stove, and an oven. A full two bay sink with garbage disposal and dishwasher also rounds out the galley area. We provide coffee and a coffee maker for our guests that are staying on board. The coffee is from a private roaster that we have been using at my restaurants for over 15 years.

The Galley

Fully Equipped Kitchen

Fully Equipped Kitchen

The Salon and Formal Dining Area

Aft of the eat-in kitchen is the salon and dining area. This is a large area that encompasses Italian leather couches and chairs and coffee tables. In this area you also find a wet bar and entertainment center with DVD player, surround sound radio, and cable TV. The formal dining area seats up to six and has enough room to welcome any dining accommodations. Through the salon out the back double doors, you'll find the aft deck. This is a private and secluded area to watch the sunset, relax, or watch dolphins run through the marina.

The Forward Guest State Room

Working forward to the lower level, you'll go down a spiral staircase through the pilot house and come to the forward guest state room. The forward guest state room is equipped with over under double beds, a closet, and en suite bathroom. There's also plenty of drawers to store all your belongings while on board.

The Forward Guest State Room

The Library

Also on this level is our library and office complete with novels and books for you to read and enjoy. Forward of the library is the captains quarters.

The Library

Captain's Quarters

Walking down two steps from the hallway area you will find the Bow Stateroom. The head is equipped with a full shower, vanity, toilet, and new porcelain tile on the floor. All bathrooms come equipped with linens, soap, and shampoos. Over to starboard side are two twin bunk beds and forward of that is a large chest of drawers for all your belongings.

Bow Stateroom

The Bow Stateroom

The Laundry & Storage Area

Walking aft, you go down three stairs into the port side. There you will find the washer and dryer and pantry area. Further from that is the linen closet with our back up linens.

The VIP Head & State Room

Further aft from that in the main hallway is the VIP head which was just renovated with marble countertops, porcelain tile, and all new fixtures. This also has a separate shower which is roomy enough for just about anybody. Making a slight right turn, directly in front of you is the VIP state room. All new teak flooring has been installed in these areas, and this room accommodates two guests in double beds. The state room also features a nice sized closet as well as plenty of storage under the beds.

VIP Head

The engine rooms.

Walking further aft, you go down the main hallway with engine rooms to port and starboard. We always leave the lights on in the engine room for safety, and so our guests can take a peek at the engine rooms.

Master Suite

The Master Suite

Finally, the master is all the way aft in the boat on the lower level. It has a door for privacy, as do all the other staterooms. Walking in to the port side of the boat is a walk-in master closet that is lined with cedar and plenty of room for all baggage and clothes. Handcrafted, curved teak walls sound the room. New teak flooring also extends into the master to give it a warm feel. A powder table is just to the port side followed by copious storage for all your clothes. The master is equipped with a king size walk around bed with all new linens. To starboard side is the master bath with full size shower and head. Marble flooring and new accents add to the feel of the room. More drawers are to the starboard side along with a flatscreen TV. There is plenty of room to spread out in the master suite, and it is truly the highlight of the lower level of the boat.

History of Southern Comfort

Southern Comfort (SoCo) was built by Hatteras Yachts out of New Bern, NC in 1985. At the time Hatteras Yachts was one of the premier yacht builders in the US, and they still are today. Hatteras Yachts builds motor yachts and custom sportfish boats to and beyond 130 feet long. Hatteras Yachts uses only the best wood and craftsmanship for their yachts, and taking a tour through SoCo, you can get a since for how well these yachts are put together and the massive costs to build them. Back in 1985 the cost to build at 61' Hatteras was around one million dollars. That is the equivalent to 2.5 million in today's market. In reality, to build a boat like SoCo today would cost about 3.5 to 4 million dollars with a lot less room than Southern Comfort has.

The Machinery

The machinery aboard Southern Comfort is vast, although most of it is hidden. If you ask Captain Dave, he is usually happy to give you a tour of the behind-the-scenes stuff. SoCo is equipped with 2 Detroit diesels 1271ti. That means they have 12 cylinders each producing about 650hp and twin turbos. That is a lot of iron! The boat holds 1200 gallons of fuel and burns on average about 60gal/hr of fuel. The engines need to be overhauled about every 5000 hours to a tune of about $3000 per cylinder. That's a whopping $72,000 for all cylinders, and that does not include anything else, for example the four turbos! All told one could be looking at well over $100,000 just to do a standard overhaul on the motors.

The boat is propelled by two large twin disk transmissions that turn two 3 inch shafts that are attached to two large 4 bladed props. The boat is also equipped with two 20kw generators to provide power when under way to all the house systems. Southern Comfort is also equipped with a desalinization plant that can produce 2gpm of freshwater to it's 200 gallon fresh water tank. The boat has seven (Yes, Count them. Seven.) air conditioners and heaters to all parts of the boat. A lot of people ask why so much water is pouring out of the boat? Is the boat sinking? The answer is, "No. The boat is not sinking. That is the water for the air conditioning." Boats use sea water to cool AC units, unlike a unit at home that uses a fan on the outside unit.

SoCo is equipped with several types of electrical services. You will notice several large yellow cables attached to the boat. These are the dockside AC service lines. We also have cables and water coming onto the boat. The boat runs off of 240v service and is broken down as needed to 110v service. The large battery banks located on the boat also provide 32v dc service to things like lights and toilets. All and all there are a lot of systems on solo that need constant maintenance and up keep. On average we spend about $30,000 a year maintaining Southern Comfort and its systems.

I have spent the last two years doing a complete overhaul on Southern Comfort. When I bought her, she was not in good shape and many of her systems and exterior had been neglected. Some of the things that have been updated are all of the AC systems and pumps. She has all new furniture in the salon and new hardwood floors on the lower level. All of the heads or toilets have been redone and are operational. Most people don't know, but a marine head is much different than a toilet on land and extra care is needed when using them. The heads have been updated with new tile and marble countertops. All of the linens and soft goods have been up dated within the last year. That's just naming a few of the things that have gone on in the last year, and we continue to maintain and update systems and keep the boat up to date. Most yachts have a projected budget of about 10-15% of the cost of the boat for maintenance. We have exceeded that budget to get Southern Comfort back in line with the rest of our fleet of boats that we operate for tours in the Charleston Harbor. I hope that you find SoCo to be as nice and relaxing as any yacht you would be on. It is our goal to provide our clients the ultimate yacht experience, even if you don't leave the dock.

Parking & Dock Location

Southern Comfort is located at Charleston City Marina on 17 Lockwood Drive in downtown Charleston. When you pull in to the marina, you will first see a gas station and a restaurant. There is a dock just past the restaurant. THIS IS NOT OUR DOCK. There are only 2 main docks at Charleston City Marina. We are on the main dock leading out to the Megadock.

yacht rentals charleston sc

In order to find Southern Comfort, go to the guard booth in the parking lot. (A guard booth is a small house that a person sits in to take tickets and money.) You're laughing, but about 100% of the people I talk to and give directions to end up at St. Bart's Yacht Sales or HMY Yacht Sales at the top of the wrong dock. So, if you end up there and call me and say, "We are here," and you're in front of a blue sign that says HMY Yachts, you're not here. Take a ticket at the guard BOOTH.

Drive straight until the parking lot opens up and a blue/gray yacht club is in front of you. To your right you will see a ten story building that says 33 Ashley Place.  Look to your left and you will see the sign that says, "Welcome to Charleston City Marina". You now have arrived!

You can park anywhere, but please be advised, Charleston city only inches above flood at high tide, and the parking lot tends to flood nearby the water. It's best not to park right up by the water. Southern Comfort is located right on the main dock that you are now looking at. Most of the time you can see SoCo from the parking lot. We are the biggest boat on the dock. SoCo is located 3 boats down on the main dock on the right. One of our other charter boats is located directly to the left, a yellow hulled Hatteras called "Hatterass". I also have a sign on the dock that says "Carolina Marine Group". That's how you will know you are here.

Surrounding Area Amenities

The City Marina has several amenities to make your stay more convenient. The Yacht Club is available for anyone who has a yacht club membership. Just show your ID and sign in the book, and you are able to enjoy the lounge and bar area equipped with pool table. Lunch and dinner is also served several days a week at the Yacht Club.

At the entrance to the marina is a gas station the has food, drinks, beer, and wine. It also hosts a selection of products you may need or have forgotten to bring aboard. So, check them out first before you head to the grocery store. Across the way on the second floor, you will find a full liquor store and wine shop with a great selection of wine and spirits. The Marina Variety Store is just in front of the gas station and has one of the best breakfasts in town. They have been serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner for over 40 years. It's a great place to get some local Southern fair. Under the restaurant is Salty Mike's, a local hang out for boaters and the crews of the large yachts that come into port. You will also find many locals playing pool and having a cold one in the Charleston heat. Taking a walk down the Megadock, you get to experience some of the most expensive yachts in the world. The marina is a big location for the large yachts transiting the area and the moving of boats from north to south during the season. The Megadock is just feet away from Southern Comfort. Just down the dock and to the left, our guests are welcome to walk the docks and admire the beauty of these luxury yachts.

Special Events

With both heating and air conditioning, our yacht provides a comfortable cruising experience all year. Below are a few examples of our popular services, but we can customize your  charter to accommodate almost any need. Please be sure to contact us and allow us to help you make your dreams a reality.

Bachelor/Bachelorette

Skip the bar and save money by celebrating your upcoming nuptials with Charleston's best charter. Our yacht provides ample space for you and your friends to safely enjoy the evening. While out on the water, there will be no shortage of comfort. Our yacht boasts luxurious leather couches, onboard restrooms, and large sun pad on the bow. Thanks to our state of the art sound system and catering options , we're fully equipped and ready to give you and your friends a memory you won't forget.

Weddings and Elopements

Looking to save money but skip the courthouse? Our yacht charter is exactly what you've been looking for. Close your eyes and imagine a sunset over Charleston's harbor, the infamous Arthur Ravenel bridge in the background. Now imagine this view being the backdrop to your elopement or intimate wedding.  Featuring two bedrooms and bathrooms - we have plenty of space to get ready for the big day. Holding up to twelve guests, there's just enough room for those you love most. With plenty of food and beverage catering options, there's no need to venture out to dinner after if you don't want to. Our wedding charter is a one-stop shop to meet all of your affordable Charleston wedding needs.

Corporate Events/Teambuilding

Team Building has never been better! Customizable team work and team development programs will meet or exceed YOUR defined objectives.

If a corporate event space is more what you're looking for, we can handle that too. Our yacht is perfect for luxurious holiday parties, sales incentives, or a simple "thank you."

  Rest assured that no matter the reason, our corporate charters will positively impact your business morale.

Sporting Events

Have you ever thought about taking your Super Bowl party to the next level? Not to mention, a warm ocean breeze is a great way to get over a busted March Madness bracket. Regardless of the sporting event, having your party on our luxury yacht charter is a winning idea. With satellite cable and numerous channels, there's no better way to enjoy the game.

Overnight Cruise

Our most exclusive yacht charter is an overnight trip for two to Beaufort, SC. On this charter, guests will travel from Charleston to Beaufort, where the boat will dock for the night at the Downtown Marina. Located on the intracoastal waterway between Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA, Beaufort is home to Port Royal, stunning golf courses, historical information regarding Gullah culture, and much more. Come morning, breakfast will be brought to the guests when they are awake and ready. Travel back to Charleston will follow.

*Due to the nature of this excursion, costs start at $5000 plus expenses. At this time, this is the only overnight charter available.

Catered Cruise

Depending on what yacht charter you've chosen to book, you may find yourself in need of food and beverage catering. Charleston is known for its gourmet cuisine and there are numerous, fantastic options available. We're happy to work with whomever you choose. However, if you're not sure where to go, we highly recommend Caviar & Bananas located on George St. (Their photos are featured in the slideshow to the right.) Please contact us for more information.

Sunset Cruise

It's called Golden Hour for a reason, and we're inclined to believe that Charleston does it better than anyone else. When colors encompass the sky and the sun touches the horizon, there's no better place to be than on the water. Book in advance to reserve this coveted time of day... You don't want to miss it.

C&B6 USED

Scattering Ashes

Here at Charleston Charter and Yacht, we know that the passing of a loved one is a solemn time. Many choose to spread the ashes of their loved ones at sea in lieu of formal arrangements. There are also those that choose to utilize our services after holding a Celebration of Life ceremony. No matter what you choose to do, our yacht charter is equipped to legally handle ash scatterings off of the South Carolina coast. We can safely hold up to twelve people and offer a comfortable, affordable funeral solution with unmet privacy.

Ecotours and Fishing

From the smell of pluff mud when the salty tide is low to the seagulls flying above, Charleston is full of unique and beautiful plant and wildlife. There are many ways to explore the ecological aspects of our waterways and marshlands, but why not learn from the area's most knowledgeable locals? Charleston Charter and Yacht proudly partners with the best of the best to bring you an experience that will exceed your expectations. Whether you're interested in finding the best fishing spot or hunting for shark teeth, we get you up close and personal with nature, learning a lot along the way.
