Winyah Bay is one of the largest estuaries on the South Carolina coast, stretching from the Georgetown waterfront to the open Atlantic.
Its protected waters and consistent coastal winds make it well suited for comfortable sailing.
The bay is bordered by undeveloped barrier islands and historic landholdings, including Hobcaw Barony, Cat Island, and North Island.
These areas create long uninterrupted views of shoreline and open water that feel distinctly Lowcountry.
Depending on conditions, we may pass historic markers such as the remains of the Harvest Moon shipwreck or offer distant views of the Georgetown Lighthouse.
Sailing on Winyah Bay offers a unique perspective of the Lowcountry that’s wide, quiet, and largely unchanged.
We host small-group sails aboard a 43-foot DuFour sailing yacht, with a maximum of six guests onboard. The cruise includes learning about the history of Georgetown and Hobcaw Barony.
The pace is relaxed, the setting open, and the focus is on time on the water rather than a scheduled itinerary.
Guests are welcome to take part in the sailing or simply enjoy the ride.
Snacks and drinks are provided, and no prior sailing experience is needed.
Meet at 11:30 am.
