Best maiden sailing voyage! - Captain Bill gave us a wonderful sailing experience. We used this experience to see if owning a sailboat is in our future. We were able to learn the basics of sailing and Captain Bill further stoked the flames for our desire to take up sailing! Thank you for such a great experience!

Great Sail as a Team - We took a team appreciation Cruise with Captain Bill and had the most fabulous day! We all were taught how to sail, enjoyed a beautiful day on the York River, and had the dolphins swim along side us! This was such a great experience, and Bill was the perfect host for our team retreat!

Thrid times a charm! - A must do in the Williamsburg /York region! This was our third time sailing with Bill. A great Capt., clean and well maintained boa,t and plenty of fresh sea air! The mouth of the York River is a great place to sail. Great sights and we have always had very good conditions. Great value for a family or small group. Highly recommend, if you like sailing you will not be disappointed!!

All-around amazing! - Amazing! Captain Bill was fun, a great teacher, and very calm no matter what!
The ride is beautiful, how could it not be?!
Not too many people, which makes it personal and 'cozy', and imo, much less stressful when trying to learn how to steer!
Thank you Captain Bill for a truly wonderful experience!!

Enjoying the York River by Sailboat - What a great relaxing way to enjoy the water and enjoy sailing! Captain Bill asked if we wanted to take the helm as he raised the sails and set us on our course across the York river. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time and loved steering the 32’ sailing vessel.
