The Charleston sailing scene is getting a major upgrade. SailTime, the nation’s leading fractional sailing membership program, is thrilled to announce the official grand opening of SailTime Charleston on August 1. With nearly every membership spot already filled as our newest base launches, with just one remaining, Charleston locals are quickly discovering the unmatched experience SailTime brings to the harbor.
Unlike traditional sailing clubs, SailTime Charleston offers members regular, guaranteed access to premium cruising sailboats, without the cost and complexity of ownership. Members schedule time on their boat using SailTime’s proprietary app, enjoy professional maintenance and cleaning, and can even use SailTime bases across the country.
“We are thrilled to bring SailTime to the Southeast and have had a very positive response from locals and other sailors stretching multiple states away. This will be a new era in sailing for Charleston, and SailTime is happy to be back,” states Will Tome, base owner of SailTime Charleston.
A New Kind of Boating Freedom
Charleston becomes the latest chapter in SailTime’s mission to make sailing accessible, flexible, and ownership-optional. The Charleston fleet is anchored by well-equipped, modern yachts ideal for seasoned sailors.
With most memberships spoken for following a successful open house earlier this summer, the momentum speaks volumes about demand in the Lowcountry.

More Than Sailing: A Smarter Way to Own
SailTime also offers a unique ownership program, enabling boat owners to offset costs while retaining access to their yacht. This professionally managed option has proven particularly attractive in Charleston’s growing boating community, especially with PowerTime Charleston also available for powerboat enthusiasts interested in sport cruisers, motor yachts, and trawlers.
