Yorktown Sightseeing Day Sails

Wonderful experience. Enjoyed the crew, the informative narrative, the beautiful day on the water. Highly recommend it.

The last cruise was a repeat from a month before, based on the great time we had the first time with a different group. We took guests from Iowa. The crew is most pleasant and all seem to enjoy their work. They are friendly and informative. The cruise is the right length (2 hrs) and we felt we got our "money's worth." We will come again next season, probably with other friends or relatives.

Good way to spend a couple of hours, but don't plan to go far - - we stayed on the Yorktown side of Coleman Bridge, and just zigzagged back and forth across the river 4-5 times. Not much sightseeing - - just cruising. The crew (Reid and Devin) were outgoing, informative and made you feel welcome aboard. Can't say same for the Captain - - he seemed to prefer being alone on the aft deck and appeared bothered by questions from passengers when they ventured aft. I'm sure he's heard all the same questions before, but that would be true of anyone involved in a sightseeing, or tourist based operation. It's his business - - he ought to at least act as though he cares about the customers.

We got married on the Alliance 2 years ago. We thoroughly enjoyed reliving the day in a more relaxed state. The trip was great and the history lesson added to the trip. Highly recommended for a relaxed evening date. The hosts are fabulous!!

The weather was perfect and the crew were very hospitable. The ride was just long enough to not become boring, and the drinks and snacks were fereshing and very reasonable. The guests were even asked if they wanted to help raise the sails, which was a new experience. The only drawback was a lack of seating. More seats along the sides would have made the ride a little more enjoyable, but again the time of the ride made it okay. Overall, I and my guests enjoyed the experience very much.

Took this sail with friends and had a wonderful time. The boat was clean and inviting. The crew was knowledgeable and friendly. They had a friendly way of giving the safety rules and made the experience most enjoyable. Would recommend it to everyone - children, adults and the elderly!

Crew was wonderful and sail was very relaxing. Highly recommend!

well executed sail on the water. crew very professional. ship clean and well maintained.

Had a great time the crew was pleasant and entertaining. Would definitely go again and participate in the sail raising. They made you feel safe and relaxed after we got under the bridge. Captain was skillful and overall a great experience.

Enjoyable sail up and down the York River, which is actually salt water, so the potential to see sealife (dolphins, etc) is there but it was too late in the season for us. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic crew who explained the ship and the sights, and let us help put up the sails if we wanted (6 of 7 guests did assist). We were very lucky with a partly cloudy, windy, mild fall day--weather could definitely be a factor in how enjoyable the trip is (and obviously out of the control of the operators).
