Luxury yacht in downtown Charleston, SC

Enjoy the beautiful sunset and watch Charleston's resident pod of dolphins as you stay on our 2 Bedroom/2 bathroom 40' yacht! Park for free at our fantastic location on the Ashley River and the peninsula of beautiful downtown Charleston, SC. Walk to a Riverdog's baseball game (single-A affiliated with the Yankees), or simply watch the stadium's fireworks from the comfort of the yacht's deck while sipping a cocktail. Cross the street to Publix to grab any groceries you need for your stay. We are right around the corner from the Citadel (go Bulldogs!), and minutes away from the shopping and nightlife of King Street. Charleston's southern charm, historic mansions, and world-renowned restaurants will be at your fingertips!

The yacht has a fully equipped kitchen (stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker). We supply kitchen necessities and a fully stocked spice rack for those who like to cook. There are 2 flat screen TVS with two blu-ray players, and plenty of board games. No fear with children as there is a first class playground in the park adjacent to the boat 200 yards away. Both bedrooms have custom-made memory foam mattresses that feel like supportive clouds. Take advantage of the boat's central heat and air, or open all the hatches and windows to let the sea breeze flow through. Fresh linens and towels provided. Wifi and a huge selection of movies included.

We love our yachts and strive to create a wonderful vacation experience for our renters. This yacht is part of the Redfin Charters’ Fleet. RedFin Charters has been seen on Discovery Channel, Bravo and ABC. We were also voted best fishing Charter in Charleston the last six consecutive years. Please ask about fishing and sight-seeing charter options including dolphin, shark's teeth digs, eco tours, and sunset cruises on one of our many boats. We are happy to create custom charters to meet your needs. We will gladly offer you a discount if booked at the time of making your reservation. This is a dockside charter and not a short-term rental. By booking you are chartering the boat to remain at the dock during your stay.

We would love to share our favorite place in Charleston with you!

Great hotel alternative
Stayed for four nights with my son on our first trip to Charleston, looking at a potential college. It was great to have two bedrooms and bathrooms, plus common space. The staff was very responsive, flexible, and helpful. I spent one afternoon on the back deck, sipping iced coffee and watching the dolphin pod on the other side of the dock. We also went out with Redfin for a fishing charter, which was excellent, Highly recommend. Would add Gogibop to the list of easily walkable restaurants.

Nice change of pace...
We had a great stay on the Dolce Vita. Would definitely choose this over a hotel for any future visits. Plenty of room for a family of 4. Beautiful views/sunsets and a good location. Watched a pod of dolphins swimming around the yachts which was a bonus to the stay. And Tanner, with Red Fin Charters, was a great host. Thanks!

You can't beat the price for accommodations in Charleston. You won't find a nicer "balcony" view than the one we had here. We would definitely do it again.

Fun Getaway
This was a fun getaway. Short was great and the boat was clean. It is an older boat and not in perfect shape, but for the price, it was perfect! The location was beautiful and conveniently located within walking distance of Publix. It was a quick car ride to the Charleston Market. I would definitely do this trip again.

Best Vacation Ever
This boat is absolutely amazing with beautiful views and sunsets. I will say I was a little hesitant about booking this, but we haven’t been home long and ready to book again. Everyone at the marina was great and the owners and staff of this boat were great working with as well. Much better than a house VRBO for sure.

We stayed on the yacht for a few days before bringing my daughter back to college. It was a great way to end the summer. The boat was very comfortable and we were lucky enough to see the dolphins just about every day!

Grandma’s Birthday Weekend
My mother and son (17 yr old) joined me to celebrate my mother’s birthday on the yacht. It was a wonderful, relaxing, unique experience! With a kitchen, living area with sleeping space, 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, and plenty of “viewing deck” seating upstairs, we never had to leave the boat. I highly recommend this type of getaway!

Great time
This was a great stay for my family of 3. Joel and his staff were great and the boat was in great shape. The surrounding neighborhood is not the greatest but you are within close proximity to beaches, downtown, and river dogs minor league park. It provides a great view off the back dock and was very relaxing.

Awesome 20th Anniversary!
Our stay on Dolce Vita was amazing! So much better than a hotel room. Enjoyed gorgeous sunsets, saw the resident dolphins, listened to the Riverdogs play at night. The crew at RedFin was responsive and friendly! Thank you all for a memorable 20th for us!! Hope to see you again!!
