PERFECT! I took my brother as a birthday gift and WOW! what a fantastic trip. Captain Bill is the perfect host. He made sure everyone was comfortable and allowed us to participate in the trip in our own way. For my brother - Captain Bill held conversation with him the whole trip; he allowed me to just enjoy sailing the boat with his expert intervention when needed. Great day- perfect weather. Yes, I will be going again....soon.

I wanted to give my wife something unique experience for her birthday and came upon “Let’s Go Sail” and it was perfect. The booking process was simple. Captain Bill contacted us soon after the booking with comprehensive instructions and what to expect. Updated weather report the night before our sail was provided. We visited the American Revolutionary Museum prior to our sail to make sure we were in the area and not mess up our departure time. Once at the yacht club, Captain Bill met us promptly and whisked us away to his boat. We were given a quick safety briefing as we boarded and were on our way. Captain Bill was quite knowledgeable of his craft and explained exactly what to expect and how to sail. Once under way, he allowed us to take the helm with instructions how to catch the wind. The wife and I are big fans of military history, Captain Bill explained the Battle of the Capes in detail to include paintings of the battle. Explaining the nuances of age of sail battles. It was a fantastic lesson on a little known battle which had huge consequences for our nation. During the lesson a school of dolphins dropped by and we stopped everything as Captain Bill tried to draw them in closer with a bell. Once under way again a storm was closing in and we made way back to port. This trip was amazing, my wife loved it and I gave her a very memorable Birthday present. Thank you Captain Bill for a wonderful experience. Anyone reading this, you cannot go wrong here, it was a wonderful personal sailing experience.

We loved our sailing trip with Capt. Bill. Perfect experience all around. Easy to make reservations, Capt. Bill updated us on the weather prior to our sail. He provide us with cold water that was needed on a hot July day, thanks so much! Everyone was offered a chance at the helm. Our 19 year old son enjoyed sailing the boat, what a memorable experience. That evening capt. Bill sent pictures to us of our day out sailing with him, he got some great shots! All three of us enjoyed our first sailing trip. My husband (a mechanic) enjoyed looking at and talking about the diesel engine and helping with the sails. We all learned about sailing and some history about the surrounding area. The trip was a special time on our vacation. We highly recommend this experience with Capt. Bill on his beautiful sailboat, what a great host!

Thanks very much, Anita, for such an extensive review. Tony and I share a special exuberance whenever we can fix what's wrong with an engine.
