What to know

Guests ages 8 and up are welcome aboard, up to 6 guests total.

No previous sailing experience is required. Guests are encouraged to relax and enjoy, and let the crew do the work. That said, any guest interested in a hands-on sailing experience will have the opportunity to help out, pulling lines and trimming sails...

Yes, there’s a toilet on board.

Sorry, no swim stops, just sailing.

Tips for the crew are not obligatory,
of course, but welcomed.

What to bring

BYOB and BYOF.

Nennella will have water aboard, perhaps a few beers and other beverages. She has an icebox you are welcome to use, and plenty of cups, glasses, utensils, and bottle openers.

Bring snacks, sandwiches, wine, whatever.

Bring a jacket or sweater on cooler days (October - April). We have extra jackets, two plush blankets and beanies on board.

I am generally on good terms with Zeus and Poseidon, but they sometimes pursue their agendas with little consideration for s/v Nennella, conjuring rain and lightning and waves that can hinder a safe and comfortable sailing experience. Should that come to pass, and should they ignore my pleas (which happens when they become overly distracted), I am obligated to stay out of their way. Should I be forced to cancel an excursion, I will refund you in full.

Since bad weather is a possibility, and since it’s difficult to know with certainty whether the weather will disrupt a sail, consider booking your excursion at the start or the middle of your stay in Charleston, and not on the last day. That way, we have a chance of rescheduling.
