Captain Jim knew our teens are sailors, and he made sure we went out on the open sea and let them sail the boat! They were also able to bring it into the inter coastal waterway and get the feel for maneuvering a larger craft than what they are used to in a more confined environment. Additionally, Captain Jim is a fantastic guide regarding the area, both the natural environment and the local scene. We enjoyed chatting with him about history, economics, birds, lore, and tides. We counted this cruise as the highlight of our trip to NC.

Many thanks for the kind words and the pleasure of hosting your family on the ocean and waterways. Encouraging young sailors to expand their sailing skills is important to sustaining our sailing community along the NC Coast. Please let me know when you are next visiting the area and we will chart out some new sailing destinations. Best regards, Captain Jim

I didn’t get a change to experience the tour. That day there was a thunderstorm. So the best option was to cancel the tour. I would like to experience later on

Thanks Rosa for pointing out that weather threats can lead to a cancellation. In NC, August is the peak of T Storm activities. September and October bring less heat and less cancellation threats. We follow daily marine forecasts carefully, and when conditions are not safe, we contact guests to either fully refund charges or reschedule immediately. In this case, we were able to fully refund Rosa's tour. Cancellations are a disappointment for all of us. I look forward to cruising with you and your family soon. Best regards, Captain Jim

We had a great time! I would highly recommend. It made for a great family memory. Captain Jim was so nice and so professional. When I initially tried to book, all slots were sold out. Upon learning we’d be leaving the area as our vacation was ending, he worked us in for a shorter private cruise. It was the highlight of our trip! Thank you Captain Jim!

Thanks Sharon for your generous review. We try to work with our clients to provide the best sailing experience possible. Thanks for contacting me directly so we could make this memory possible! I look forward to the next visit when the wind captures the sails. Best regards, Captain Jim
