Excellent Capt. fun couples trip. - Capt Jim is very knowledgeable and checked in often to make sure we were alright as the water was a little choppy that evening. Had a beautiful sail through the inner channel and then out into the open Atlantic to really get some speed. Would recommend having a change of clothes for after as you may get splashed by the waves. Overall an excellent trip and learned a lot about the area and local history.

Fun and relaxation on the ocean - Captain is excellent with a true love of the sea. We’ve been on the trip twice with him. Our first trip he helped our friend pop the question while on the water. Excellent pre trip communications, very knowledgeable of the local area and has great stories. A must do on a couples night out.

Peaceful Sailing Excursion - The sunset cruise was awesome. It was peaceful, relaxed and great with only six guests total. Captain Jim has a wealth of knowledge about the area, is personable, kind and we felt very comfortable sailing under his guidance and leadership of the boat. We are already planning another trip to take with him and bring our friends. I highly recommend this trip!!!

Perfect evening - This experience is a must for those wanting to see the island and it's wildlife from the water. Our captain shared insight about the landscape, history, animals, and the locals. The views were fantastic. We even saw a family pod of dolphins with a calf.

Sunset sail. - Great sail. Jim was super nice and pointed out many sites along the way. I didn’t know much about the Barrier Islands and enjoyed learning about them. It was a great time.
