Captain Jim was a fantastic, friendly host for a wonderful 2 hour (and change) peaceful escape onto the Intracoastal Waterway around Masonboro Island and Wrightsville Beach. An expert not only in sailing, we enjoyed informative and entertaining conversation with Jim on his knowledge of, and love for, not only sailing and the area waters, but local wildlife, history, and the environmental concerns guiding (and sometimes in conflict with) the development of the area. Our intended "sunset sail" had to be rescheduled due to the weather forecast, and Jim was flexible and communicated well in finding a time that worked for our travel schedule (we were making a detour through Wilmington on the way through just to sail with Jim) as well as the other passengers and the weather. Highly recommended!

Thank you! I greatly enjoyed our time sailing last week. Sharing local history and transiting through the peaceful waterways is exactly what we love to provide our guests. I'm glad you mentioned schedules, as we always work with to reschedule or refund clients if weather interferes with our departure time. I hope to sail with you again in the future. With thanks, Captain Jim

Captain Jim was a fabulous host, a great communicator, and very knowledgeable about sailing and the Wrightsville Beach area. We felt that our safety was his #1 priority and was very willing to assist elderly passengers get on and off the boat. He was fun, flexible, and wanted to make sure that our sail with him was a positive experience. We highly recommend his cruise tour and will definitely go out for another sail with him. It was a lot of fun and a great way to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. Thanks for a great time!
