5.00The 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

5.00This 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.
A fun time for all!

5.00We had such a lovely sailing experience with captain Jim! We had perfect weather, watched a beautiful sunset, and we enjoyed getting to know the captain and his vast knowledge of the sea and sailing. Added benefits were the complimentary waters, and the fact he has a bathroom on board if needed! Would recommend to anyone looking for a great simple sail with a well knowledgable and friendly captain!
