Our Nennella Sailing experience was absolutely amazing — truly a 20/10 and one of the highlights of our trip! From start to finish, everything was smooth, relaxing, and filled with charm. Adam and Doug were the best — incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and so friendly. They made us feel right at home on the water. As we sailed, they shared fascinating insights and stories about Charleston that gave us a deeper appreciation for the city’s history and beauty. The tour was seamless and thoughtfully curated. The boat was beautiful and comfortable, and the views? Absolutely breathtaking. If you’re visiting Charleston or even a local looking for a special experience, don’t hesitate — book with Nennella Sailing. You won’t regret it!

Sunset Sailing with Adam ( and first mate Chris) was a wonderful experience on the sailboat built in 1964 ! It was a beautiful evening and Adam was clearly a very experienced sailor who put his passengers first. He had a wealth of knowledge about the history and current news in Charleston and surrounds and I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area. It was great value and so much fun and the 3 hrs went by so fast. Would give 10 stars ⭐️ if we could. If you are lucky enough to see availability on the boat, go ahead and book - you won’t be disappointed !

We had a wonderful time sailing in the Nennella. Compared to all the other sailing opportunities with larger tourism companies, our experience on the Nennella was steps above. The boat is beautiful and in amazing shape, our captain was very knowledgeable and shared lots of local and historical information, and the sunset was beautiful. I cannot recommend this experience enough.

Outstanding experience! We got lucky to see a beautiful sunset and even some dolphins! The history of the sailboat was awesome to learn about and the host was super knowledgeable about Charleston! Great restaurant recommendations and an easy conversationalist. He made sure we were comfortable at all times. Highly, highly, highly recommend. I already want to book it for a second time!

Adam was so knowledgeable of the area and the best captain. As a first time sailing passenger I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was so fun and exceeded all expectations. Would love to sail again with Adam next time I’m in the area.

Adam and his first mate are professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. The instructions on where to meet him were very clear, and the booking was well communicated. As for the experience itself, we had a blast! They took us out on the harbor and we got to see Charleston from a very different point of view. If you are looking for something to do on the water, you’d be hard pressed to find a better experience than this one.

Absolutely loved captain Adam's boat trip. He provided some great instructions to get to the docks, had some fascinating history about the Charleston area and provided some drinks and snacks too. The sunset was absolutely stunning, the time flew by and I didn't want it to end. It was the highlight of my time in South Carolina.

We loved the personal touch that was a welcome reprieve from all the commercialized tours that are polished into sterility. The sailing was a fun experience; it was an excellent balance of tour guide interaction and space for us to simply enjoy the experience. This activity was extremely laid back and unceremonious, which suited us swimmingly.
