Salt Shaker is a private motor yacht that sails from Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina. You charter the whole yacht for your group, and every trip comes with a captain, a stewardess, complimentary drinks and everything needed to serve on board. You can bring your own food and drinks, or add a private chef, handcrafted cocktails or a catered menu, and extras such as an onboard massage therapist, water toys and themed decorations for a celebration.

Salt Shaker Yacht Charter Options

  • Custom yacht charter: four hours for $3,750, six hours for $5,250 or eight hours for $6,600, with more time at $800 an hour when the yacht is free. Cruise, anchor and swim, or plan the day around a celebration.

  • Sunset dinner cruise: $4,900 for a chef-prepared dinner on Calibogue Sound as the sun goes down, with the flybridge open afterwards.

  • Fireworks cruise: four hours on Tuesday nights in summer, $5,200, with cocktails and a meal before the yacht anchors off Shelter Cove for the HarbourFest fireworks.

  • Lunch cruise: a daytime cruise on Broad Creek and Calibogue Sound with lunch and time to swim.

For up to six guests the price covers the yacht, the crew and the dining together. For seven to twelve guests, maritime rules make it a bareboat rental: the yacht is chartered separately from the captain, crew and catering, and you receive two invoices, which Salt Shaker’s team arranges for you. For a smaller boat, Salt Marsh Sailing runs private sails for up to six from the same harbour.
