About this property

Under new ownership as of May 2017. Located in the Heart of Charleston's Historic District, Southern Comfort is docked at the Charleston City Marina and less than 50 feet from our gated parking lot.

We are 3 blocks from the Historic Battery just past the Coast Guard Station, and six "city blocks" from Meeting Street and the Market Area.

From the magnificent architectural homes of the Battery, and the finest restaurants in the south, to the art and antique shops, Charleston is a place unlike any other.

PLEASE NOTE IT IS EXTREMELY EXPENSE TO MAINTAIN A BOAT SUCH AS THIS. Therefore the boat books for TWO people. There is an additional guest charge per person up to eight people after the first two. This makes the boat approachable for a couple as well as very economical for larger groups to enjoy the boat. Remember what your parents taught you.. if it’s to good to be true. It probably is. By booking the boat in this way it makes it reasonable for all parties involved. We love sharing out boating experience with people and try very hard to upkeep it. It’s a fantastic way to spend time in Charleston and a very unique experience that most people will not find anywhere else.
Capt. Dave.

Ask for what you need

We are not sorry we had this experience on a lively yacht, but we would most likely not rebook. Booked for 6 adults - only had towels for 4. Only 2 coffee mugs available. Overall, the Southern Comfort provided us with a memorable experience we enjoyed.

About the host

Hosted by Capt. Dave Gugliotti

Captain Dave and his First Mate Danielle would like to welcome you aboard “Southern Comfort”.

About the owners:
Capt. Dave has been boating for over 25 years, holds a USCG 200 ton Masters license and also owns the Charter boat “Hatterass” directly in front of “Southern Comfort” as well as " Ship of Fools" just around the corner. We encourage you to book a charter with us and experience Charleston in a way that few visitors get the opportunity to.

We Married in May of 2000 and left Connecticut in 2013, moving to Charleston. We wanted to pursue our love of boating and be on the water all year round.

We started Carolina Marine Group in 2013 providing harbor tours. We have been building the business and the brand ever since. Our mission is to provide the best on the water experience in the greatest city in the US. We took ownership of “Southern Comfort” in 2017 to expand our operation and to provide our water loving guests a unique way of spending their time in Charleston.

We hope your stay with us is a memorable one and you fall in love with this great city as much as we have. Enjoy your stay and if there is anything we can do to make it more enjoyable don’t hesitate to ask.

Why they chose this property

Where else can you stay aboard a 61 foot Yacht and live the boating life for the weekend. Charleston Is the place to try something different. Huge boat with great views and we offer Harbor tours as well.
