my family and i enjoyed the boat ride but we felt that we would be sailing more into the bay instead of going to the middle and sitting still for an hour. we were also informed that we would be learning about the history around the bay but we also we just left to ourselves |

Really enjoyed sailing down the river. Just wished we could have gone a little further. My wife thought the trip was very relaxing.

First I will try to say the positive things about the trip. The boat departed on time and the crew was friendly. That's it!
It was my understanding that you would be able to participate in the operations of the ship with various instructions from the crew so you might learn how the ship operates. All that was allowed was to raise one of the sails and that was it. I thought there would be some kind of narration as the ship processed up the York River. I think the guy steering the ship was doing some of it but you could not hear anything in the bow of the ship. This could have easily been taken care of with a few speakers mounted in the bow. However, that said it was nothing more than a ride on a boat.
I wanted to learn about the boat and its operations. There should have been a narration about the boat itself. What type of boat it was, when it was build, what type of sails ect. Also a walk through the boat to show the entire boat would have been nice. There was none of that.
I was very disappointed and unsatisfied. It was my plan to take my fiancée out in the future on the ship for a sun set trip but this is neither worth the money nor the time.
The most dissatisfying item to me was the tip jar put up right were you went on and off the ship. I felt like I was forced to put something in there and the crew did nothing extra to warrant me giving them a tip. Maybe you just need to pay them more than having them beg for money. I mean come on they did latterly nothing extra at least in my mind. I earn the money I have and I do not like to just give it away. |

VERY DISAPPOINTED that our disabled daughter was placed by the trash cans in her wheelchair. We had no where to sit other than on lifejacket storage boxes that provided no back support. For anyone, especially with arthritis, the ride was miserable. Kudos to the staff. They were more than wonderful. However, we were deeply disappointed. |

Zerve was exactly what I needed. Tickets to reserve our seats, printable confirmation and all quickly. The agent was knowledgable and friendly .
I will surely call them again. |
