Charleston is renowned for its cuisine, and is home to many top chefs and restaurants. In the current climate of Covid-19, many fine dining aficionados have found their restaurant experiences to be diminished by the precautions or anxiety of eating in a public establishment. Our answer to this problem is to bring the top chefs to you, and have them prepare and serve their exquisite food in the intimate, private, and beautiful venue of our 80 foot luxury yacht. We have created a talented and diverse portfolio of chefs to collaborate on our private yacht dining experience. You can choose to have dinner underway while we cruise through the Charleston Harbor and enjoy the historic sites and beautiful waterways. Or elect to have dinner on the yacht dockside at our slip at the scenic Ripley Light Yacht Club with views of the Ashley River, downtown Charleston wharfs, and one of the best sunsets in town.
