I surprised my husband with a private charter for our 25th Wedding Anniversary with Shamrock Sailing and Captain Jim. We had a great time! Captain Jim was very nice and knowledgeable of the area. The boat is huge, 42'! It was cool to see Wrightsville Beach from the ocean side instead of land, lol. The open waters were not for me, upset tummy, but loved the intercoastal portion. Thank you for a lovely day!

Thanks Mellissa for your kind review of our ocean excursion and intracoastal excursion. Hosting you and Patrick on SV/Shamrock was a pleasure. I look forward to seeing you again on a smooth, ICW and Banks Channel cruising adventure. Enjoy the remainder of your summer! Best, Captain Jim

An amazing sailing adventure and learning experience for our family! Captain Jim went above and beyond to teach my som and husband some sailing pointer for their BSA sailing trip to Sea Base in Key West, FL. Jim’s experience in both sailing and life kept us all captivated during our private charter. We all highly recommend taking a charter with Captain Jim and Shamrock Sailing in NC.

I greatly enjoyed sharing my knowledge of sailing and the sea with your family. There's nothing more exciting than to see the eyes light up with new experience and skills. Best wishes for the trip to the Keys! I hope our short preview to sailing provides a lifetime of memories to come. Until the next adventure, Captain Jim

Jim was great! Beautiful sail. Jim tried to accommodate what we wanted to do despite conditions. More characters needed so this is filler.

Many thanks James for your comments. Springtime brings weather conditions that change rapidly along the coast. This past week winds regularly exceeded 25 knots along the SE coast. While wind makes for exciting sailing conditions, activities like anchoring, or swimming become more dangerous. I really hope you can bring your kids and family back to the area so e can arrange another private cruise to enjoy the barrier islands and plow the offshore waters. With Gratitude, Captain Jim
