A little disappointed

I felt the captain could have provided a better trip. There wasn't much wind that day so of course the sail was slow which he had no control over. What bothered me was that he could have used the motor to bring us out further so that we could have experienced a longer ride with the wind on the return trip. We enjoyed the trip back because we were going with the current and caught the wind. The crew was very nice and had a lot of information. They were also very accommodating to everyone. The ship itself is beautiful. I would try taking the trip again next time we come back to VA.

Smooth cruise even though wind was sufficient. Ship is clean and sturdy. Crew members very likeable, fun, and careful. Cap'n "well seasoned". We recommend.

Even though the weather was not as nice as we hoped, the Alliance has a tarp we could stay under to keep from getting wet from the drizzle. We also were allowed to go below deck if we wanted. Captain is very knowledgeable about local history too! Pleasant crew as well. No motion sickness on this boat either and I usually get it bad. Tour lasts for 2 hours and may go up the York River or into the Chesapeake Bay depending on wind, etc. Well worth the money!

we took the afternoon cruise and it was quite enjoyable. the crew was very pleasant and knowledgeable of the area and sailing ships in general. this is a great way to see some of the sights from the perspective of the river. I recommend it.

My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed this outing. The captain and crew of the schooner were congenial, informative, and willing to chat with everyone on the sail. We will do this again and plan to take a sail on their other schooner next Spring.

The owners/captains were simply terrific. There were weather problems and they were extremely accommodating with shifting reservations. The crew was excellent. All were extremely educated about the ship and its operation. The answered any and all questions cheerfully. I will do this sailing cruise again in the future.
