Charter a sailboat for half days, full days, sunsets, remote beach overnights, wedding sails and bachelor party sailing charters. The Carolina coast offers vast expanses of beautiful and remote barrier islands flooded with awe inspiring sunsets. Explore white sandy beaches, experience overnight coves or simply rest & recuperate.
OSA is the only group that offers bareboat sailing charters in Charleston. Our Colgate 26s are available for bareboating.
South Carolina's mild climate is among the finest in the nation for year-round sailing. Boats may be chartered for one or more days, for half-day summer sunsets lingering for hours, and for winter afternoons when the sun is low and the
air is brilliantly clear.

For those in your group that enjoy helping out, our skipper appreciates the extra hands.
We offer yachting every afternoon and evening. Sunsets are particularly enjoyable, and we invite you to bring a snack or hors d'oeuvres.

Bareboat Charters
You have located the only bareboat charter company in town.
We are pleased to offer you a comfortable, non-tippable, day sailer, the Colgate 26' keelboat.
For your first charter if you've not taken a class with us, and regardless of your experience, one of our captains will spend an hour or two on the water with you to introduce the vessel and the harbor. Checkout includes a display of skill levels practical for our conditions, which include 3-knot tides and tight quarters maneuvering. The checkout fee is $100, a one-time fee; for any future charters you incur only the charter fee.
