My family and I had an Awesome Time Sailing with Bill. He is very knowledgeable about Yorktown and gave us an informative history lesson about the battle of Yorktown. My son and I took turns sailing the boat and learned a lot about sailing. The dolphins were a nice surprise! Highly recommend Bill and his lovely sailboat. Thanks Bill! Enjoyed our little dental talk too. Sam

Bill was an awesome host on our 3 hour sailing excursion touring the York River. Very relaxing trip. A nice family joined us on our trip. I highly recommend this activity for couples wanting to have a nice time sailing together.

My husband and I booked a historical themed sailing trip with Captain Bill and had a fabulous time! (To be honest, this landlocked gal (from Denver), got a wee bit seasick but Captain Bill was so gracious and prepared that I was able to continue through the three hour voyage and took in most of the information.) :) This was our first time visiting Virginia and the wonderful historical sites to explore. Captain Bill clearly is a well accomplished seaman and had a great dearth of information of the area to share with us. We felt safe and secure at all times and both of us enjoyed manning the wheel and learning about this beautiful vessel! He put my husband to work, while explaining how to sail. It was a gorgeous day with good winds! Highly recommend!
