Sand and Sea
Coastal living at its best! Relax and enjoy beaching, swimming, and picnicking at one of our beautiful sandbars or beaches. Sandbar tour times will be determined by local tides. Bring whatever you like ashore (food, drinks, games, books). Portable shade pavilion, folding beach chairs, table, and cooler will be set up ashore. Back on board the boat, a fresh water shower will be available to refreshingly rinse off the sand and saltwater.
Sand and Yoga / Boot Camp
For those looking to start their charter with a mind and body workout, we can provide a Yoga and/or Boot-camp session on the sand tailored to your fitness level. One of our partnered certified yoga instructors or personal trainers will join us to lead a 45-60 minute class ashore. Afterwards, enjoy a fresh dip in the saltwater, soak up some more sand and sun, or maybe head in for a post workout coffee and breakfast (or a beer and some fresh seafood). Again, as with everything at CAVU Coastal Charters, we will tailor your trip to whatever you desire.
* Added charge for instructor services.
Wine and Dine
Enjoy a scenic waterway cruise as you head to one of our fabulous local waterfront restaurants for brunch, lunch, or dinner. We can can assist in coordinating reservations if available.
Many establishments will feature live music and local craft beers and spirits. Hilton Head Island, Daufuskie Island, and Bluffton are home to several distilleries and micro-breweries.
