John is an accomplished captain and knowledgeable about the area. He shared some great stories. My teenaged boys were even engaged in conversation! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and will do it again. The boat was gorgeous and John even gave us pointers on learning to sail. It was perfect.

MICHELLE

Absolutely recommend for locals and tourists alike! Captain John and his first mate Claudia were phenomenal hosts for our Sunday sailing journey. We enjoyed a sunny day with a light breeze that took us up the beautiful cape fear river. Perfect for entertaining out of town guests with a picnic lunch! Will definitely be booking again.
