Captain Bill is the best! His communication leading up to sail day is great with weather updates and a map. Onboard he is knowledgeable and delivers the best experience. We made new friends, learned about Virginia and got to sail a beautiful sailboat. The photos are perfect momentos and we couldn't have asked for a better day. Highly recommend- book now!

Captain Bill was very entertaining and full of information. He had our teen take the wheel and he taught him all about steering to find and use the wind. Very calm, peaceful trip. Plus, he backed that sailboat into his slip Like A Boss!! Thank you, Captain Bill!

We had a windy day but that didn't deter us. Captain Bill gave great information on historical battles and more. Our 2 sons (both age 19) took the helm most of the time which was cool. Our youngest didn't feel well but that might have been too much food prior in addition to the choppy waters. Our kids say they will definitely remember this. Thanks, Bill!
