This sleek, beautiful two deck dining yacht is perfect for entertaining on the water. The Spirit of Charleston has an open air deck that can be fully enclosed in inclement weather. The lower deck is spacious and elegantly decorated with beautiful amber sconces for lighting and a color palette that works well with any personal style. There are two full service bars onboard. Your guests will enjoy the comfort of a dining yacht and still feel they are part of the surrounding harbor.
