It was the highlight of our trip, and very reasonable prices. Capt Greg was extremely helpful with everything to do with our sailboating trip, in addition to everything to do with Charleston! He gave us so many tips and recommendations so that we could enjoy our trip and have the best experiences. He also provided waters, coolers, ice, a speaker, and had extra sunscreen if needed. Also took pics throughout the boat ride and shared that Google photos album with us the day after! Wouldn't book with any other charter when in Charleston!

Of course, water visibility was poor and casting(for me) was very difficult. Nonetheless, he put me on some fish and even though I couldn't close the deal I had a great morning. Braden took the time to patiently demonstrate the double haul and walk me through my casting of the single haul. Braden knows his waters and the fish. I'll be back again.

It was my first time fly fishing and he gave me the tools and tips I needed to be able to hook a few fish within the first hour out on the boat.

We cruised the area and saw the local sites (the aircraft carrier, Fort Sumter, the beautiful bridges and also some sea life), then anchored near shore, had some BYOB beverages, swam and soaked up the sun on their floating raft. The boat was clean, the staff and captain Parker were knowledgeable and friendly. It had a large bathroom on board (which is a must for a group of ladies), AC when at a stop and was a wide enough vessel that we never felt crowded (there were nine of us on board). I would highly recommend booking with Downtime and look forward to using them in the future again! Thank you Captain Parker and First Mate Maddy!
