As wellness tourism continues to grow, a new Charleston business is taking mindfulness beyond the yoga studio and onto the harbor. Soothe Sailing offers private sailing experiences designed to help guests unplug, reconnect and tap into the “Blue Mind,” the calming state associated with spending time near or on the water. Its signature 2.5-hour Soothe Sail combines guided breathwork, meditation, silent reflection and group discussion while sailing through Charleston’s stunning waterways. Healthy snacks, cold towels, journals and infused water are also included.
Founded by Holly Hillman, the woman- and veteran-owned business offers a different take on the traditional Charleston sailing excursion, creating an experience centered on reflection, connection and mental well-being. Private retreats can also be customized for families, friends, coworkers and other groups.
Private retreats can accommodate up to 12 guests and start at $875 for groups of up to six, or $155 per person for groups of seven to 12. Please let me know if you would be interested in connecting with Holly or experiencing a Soothe Sail firsthand with a guest.
