Absolutely wonderful experience! - We 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!

Bold, but cold. - Awesome time out on the water w/ Captain Jim. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the subject matter. Just be sure to bring a jacket, but he'll have extra and blankets if you forget 😀.

Highly recommended - Absolutely lovely way to spend an early evening. We sailed though the inter-coastal and then out into the ocean. Jim was a fantastic host. Interesting, attentive and gregarious- perfect for his retirement gig!!
