Charybdis herself was never seen. She lived under the rocks at the bottom of the Sicilian side of the Straits of Messina, opposite from Scylla. All that was ever seen was a whirlpool.
She, and Scylla, were the personification of the dangers of navigating the straits before powered locomotion. The currents made them dangerous to the extreme, and most sailors went around Sicily to avoid them.
