About this docked boat rental

Located in Charleston, this lovely docked boat for $361 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. 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!

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.

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.

We enjoyed our stay, and it was conveniently located; however, the boat was not well stocked, and I think it was overpriced for what it was. Soap was not available in one of the bathrooms. I agree with one of the other reviewers that a bit of maintenance and TLC is needed. As a previous liveaboard boat owner in a marina, I understand it is constant. Also, as an owner of several vacation rentals for the past few years, I would have expected better stocking of basics such as coffee, some starter water, etc. Overall, we had a great time during our stay, and the fishing charter was excellent, but I would not stay on the boat next time unless it was priced more reasonably. I love staying in marinas, but note that this marina is not quiet. The road noise is constant on the bridge, but there are hardly any people in the marina itself.

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!

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!

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 had a great, relaxing weekend! Even though it rained much of the weekend, it did clear for a wonderful sunset in the evening! We had an amazing view for the sunset and also for the River dogs’ Friday night fireworks show, which was a nice surprise! And, we were entertained by the dolphins swimming in the harbor! The boat was as described and had wonderful AC! It was nice to explore the town during the day and come back to a relaxing spot at night!

Check in was a breeze. Our car was parked in a secured lot. Wonderful spot across from a Publix, great location. Honestly I’ve stayed at a million rentals and it was such a easy check in and check out. They ask you to pick up your trash and leave the keys and have a reasonable checkout time. Love the Jaws DVD’s, super comfy beds and GREAT AC. Honestly best trip this summer

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!!

The boat was very nice and plenty of room for 2 couples. Great location to Charleston. Staff was very nice and receptive when we alerted them to a few issues. The boat does need some overall maintenance and should be checked a little closer before renting to be proactive rather than reactive. There is no way to lock the boat as a previous client had broken it at least 6 months before. Apparently it is not an easy fix to replace the lock and new door is ordered (8 month delay?) but there needs to be something done in the interim to enable the customers to lock the boat and their belongings when they leave. We were not informed of this in advance! The boat only has 1 full bath in which to shower and 1 half bath though advertised as 2 full baths. Worked ok for us but maybe not for everyone. Beds were pretty comfortable overall but Queen-size bed advertising in both bedrooms is questionable. The porthole in the ceiling above the front bedroom leaked due to the torrential downpour during the weekend. Staff was very accommodating and covered from the outside with plastic and sand bags BUT it needs to be fixed correctly now that they know the problem exists. Little issues like door knobs on bathroom door, tv not working in one bedroom, light not working in one bedroom, remotes needing batteries....As mentioned before, the boat is a nice size and concept is GREAT and would rent it again but it needs some tender loving care.

It was so amazing to spend a fun girls weekend on the yacht! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and felt safe the entire time. The location is perfect, even for UBER pickups/dropoffs. We were disappointed that one of the toilets was not working and it made it kind of challenging; However, things happen and overall did not sour our memories of this awesome VRBO opportunity!

Staying in a yacht provides unique experience with beautiful view of sunsets, seagulls flying by, and the tranquility of water. The yacht is compact with all the needed facilities. Shower water is hot👍 Wish the mattress of the bed could be a bit firmer.

We had a great time on the boat - it was a unique way to spend New Year's Eve. We slept very well and enjoyed the unique accommodations. The boat is very comfortable and had everything we needed. I am a Chef and was able to cook a very nice New Year's Breakfast on the boat. Definitely recommend.

We had such a great time at this property. We encountered extreme cold temps during our stay, which caused the pipes to freeze and we were without water. Logan was fantastic and quickly made arrangements for us to have a more comfortable stay. It was greatly appreciated. I would stay here again and again!

This was a fun experience staying in a yacht for us. It was a little bit of a walk out in the marina but we didn't mind. The weather was perfect. Couldn't have asked for a better view. It was different and that's what we wanted for this trip. We would stay again.

Renting a yacht for the weekend was the best decision I ever made for vacation. Waking up to the sunrise on board and going to sleep with the slight rocking of the waves was therapeutic. I would easily recommend this to anyone. The check in/check out process was easy. Absolutely will do again!

My experience was awesome, it was a unique hotel-like experience. If you are looking for a different rooming experience, all while on the water. Try this yacht stay. We couldnt figure out the shower situation but otherwise we made it work. Enjoy RedFin Charters was awesome!
