A day to sail.

Laura_B, Mar 2026
The weather was perfect. The captain was spot on with information about the local area. It was a good time and money well spent for the memory.

We had an amazing time...

We had an amazing time with Captain Jim! It was a great day on the water; so good to hear the local history and see dolphins too! We hope to be back.

Many thanks Alicia. The magic of seeing a dolphin pod surfacing in lazy tidal waters or ospreys flying over the rigging never disappoints. I'm so glad you enjoy our romp on the ocean! Until the next adventure, Captain Jim

Great experience!

It was a terrific way to spend an afternoon. Thank you Captain Jim. Next time we will be on your sunset cruise.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

My pleasure Karen, I"ll look forward to seeing you and your guests onboard one of our sunset cruises this fall. What a pleasure to sail with you yesterday. Best wishes, Captain Jim

Afternoon Cruz

Peggy_B, Jul 2020
It was my first sailing Cruz but not my last. Very relaxing and the captain was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the area. I will book again when I’m in the area. Parking was a little hectic so get there early as spaces are limited.

Response from Host, Jul 2020

Many thanks Peggy! I'll look forward to cruising again with you when next in town. I appreciate your comment on parking, as Wrightsville Beach parking is congested during June, July, and August. With a little extra time (15 minutes), you can find a parking spot and arrive on time for departure. Until the next sailing adventure! Best, Captain Jim
