Could be great if there was was wind

2.00Understand that the charter can’t control the wind but on windless days operator could do a bit more help or even just apologize for a one and a half hour trip in near windless conditions. Captain and crew were good. Just feel like the operator only watch for foul weather. This not a comfortable boat when the midday sun is brutal.
Great Family Adventure

5.00Sailing an America’s Cup 12 meter is a rare opportunity. Stars & Stripes was significant to the USA recapturing the America Cup. Captain Pete is s legend and fun host allowing passengers to help raise sails and take the helm or just sit back and enjoy a beautiful sail. The crew of young ladies were welcoming, friendly, attentive and amazing at hoisting and trimming sails. A truly wonderful family experience.
Would go again for sure!

4.00Trip was cut short due to weather, but otherwise was very good experience. The charter company did issue a partial refund due to lack of a full scheduled outing.
Wonderful family adventure.

5.00A must when on Hilton Head Island. Captain Peter was a delight and eager to let guests experience the helm of this classic 12 meter. The crew of three capable young ladies were welcoming, friendly and amazing to watch as they raised and trimmed sails. You can enjoy a wonderful sail while relaxing or jump in to help crew. A great family event.

5.00Peter and his first mates were very helpful and knowledgeable about the history of the boat, the area and wildlife. Very accommodating...we had someone in our group w a bad back and they loaded her first and gave her a spot she was comfortable in for the entire hour and a half.
Must Do!
