First sailing trip

Dwayne_C, May 2023
Had a wonderful time sailing with captain Jim vary knowledgeable safe and fun trip can’t wait to go again. Thank you captain

Response from Host, May 2023

Taking your family out on the ocean for a brisk ride in 22 knot southwesterly winds was a joy. Your interest in the physics of sailing, boat design, and handingling techniques made this one of my favorite private charters of the season. Keep the questions and curiosity rolling. Sailing and continuous life learning go hand in hand. Best to you and your family, Captain Jim

Tour

Rosalba_J, Aug 2020
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

Response from Host, Aug 2020

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

Sail Away

My family and I enjoyed a private sailboat tour recently. Captain Jim went out of his way to make sure the adventure was fun for our entire family. In addition to sailing we spent time watching dolphins and even enjoyed a refreshing swim.
