Bill was a great captain taught us how to sail and we enjoyed driving the sailboat. This was a very nice boat. It was roomy and comfortable.

We spent a lovely afternoon with Captain Bill on a history sail in the York River. My family was visiting from New York and one is a history buff. We did not expect to have illustrations - they added to the experience.
It was my sister's first time on a sailboat, and a perfect day for sailing.
My husband enjoyed the opportunity to steer the boat.
We had a great time! I highly recommend going out with Captain Bill.

A great afternoon on the York River, thanks to Captain Bill. The teenagers on board loved the opportunity to be at the helm, with encouragement and gentle guidance from the Captain as they âme about. Smooth sailing thanks to a Captain who really knows his craft. We plan to do this sail again when family comes to town.

Sit back, relax, and feel the breeze. It’s an easy motor out to the York River, and the sails are up.
If you’re looking for a laidback sail past historic Yorktown, you are in good hands with Captain Bill. You’ll have a fantastic time.
If you’re the type that likes to take the helm, and learn a bit about sailing, you’re in for a real treat!
