About this docked boat rental

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!

I will still attempt to get all of my funds returned. But I will state that RedFin did refund a majority that we paid minus the money that goes to VRBO. The photos listed on their site must be from 20 years ago because they are NOTHING like what you actually see. I was even told after our stay - this was being towed to the yard. Then to boot we lost partial electrical on Friday night for over 17 hours which took out the fridge, tv & many outlets. They did send someone to look at it - to no avail. All of the food we purchased was ruined in the fridge which proved more trouble for myself as I'm on special foods due to a precancerous condition in my stomach. Initially the contact with the management was fine - but as more problems occurred - I seemed to frustrate the management. I'd post pictures ... The entry door can be next to impossible to open. About 75% of the light bulbs don't work The outside is so dirty and looks uncared for The sand bags and tarp on the bow are less than desirable to look at or look through when you're below. The interior is dirty There's openings that shouldn't be visible as there are obviously panels missing. The master bath shower handle shouldn't come off. The master bath sink faucet sprays everywhere. The canopies enclosures are all broken and visually an eye sore. The wet bar is useless. The fridge and freezer is disgusting The shower curtain is moldy and dirty There's hair everywhere There are broken shades in the Master bath

The boat was nice but older so it needs a bit of updating. We really enjoyed the peaceful location and the view was amazing from the boat. At least half of the lights inside the boat did not work so it was very dark and difficult to see in the bedrooms, bathrooms, and over the dining area. Also, the Keurig had water left in it and it was growing green algae. The fridge needs to be replaced - bought some milk but it never cooled and the milk spoiled. Also, the description needs to warn you that this boat is a very long walk from where your car is parked, we had heat exhaustion pulling our load of luggage and supplies in the cart provided. Publix is a 2 block drive away so that was convenient. This would be a great getaway if the boat was better maintained, however we really enjoyed our trip and I think with some much needed maintenance you could book this property all summer.

First off the view is amazing, they pulled the boat to the end of the dock so we had unobstructed views of the nightly sunset, frequent dolphin sightings and even one shark sighting. The staff of Redfin Charters are also topnotch, very attentive to your needs and willing to assist at all times. Now, for the boat, classified as a luxury yacht, which i do not believe it is. The bost is old and had multiple isses, for example: the vinyl on the upper deck could be cleaned of stains, no working power on the outside besides lighting, outside sink broken, lights in main cabin were out, door to second bathroom broken, no running water in second bathroom, carpet floor always felt damp, air conditioner went out while there and had to repeatedly flip switch in breaker box. They did address that issue immediately but basically had to divert power throughout boat to keep air working, thus leaving us with one working outlet...ended up with coffee maker in the bedroom. With all that being said, I would stay there again if they assured me that aĺl the issues have been fixed, that is how much we loved the view and appreciated their professionalism.

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!

We had such a great weekend on the water and really enjoyed having the accesbility to downtown Charleston but also valued being somewhat tucked away from everything.

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.
