Yorktown Sightseeing Day Sails

We thoughly enjoyed the sailing ship the Alliance, The Captain and the crew were very informative, and professional,I certainly would do the cruise again.

It was a very calm day so the ship did not move very fast but it wa s a relaxing, enjoyable sail. The crew was extremely competent and knowlegeable. We saw dolphins, my son was able to hoist the main sail and my daughter took the helm for a while! It wa s nice change of pace from the amusement park scene. The kids really enjoyed it as well

We thought we were going on a boat ride. Not were we could see were we set sail from. It was alot of money to see the shores you could see from the beach, and were told nothing about the history. My kids are 6 and 10 and lost interest easily.

My family and I attended a tour this past Friday. On board was a film crew with 15-20 children from a summer camp. They all were from the Middle East. If you want to film a documentary of any kind, the rest of the passengers should be informed, willing, and consent to such an arrangement. Frankly, you should have provided a separate tour for this group if they were going to be filming. I have no control over how that footage will be presented, in what context, for what purpose, or in what medium. I have a sensitive job with a security clearance. I do not need to be portrayed in such a setting without full knowlege and legal protections. The children were clearly being prompted on what to say so the authenticity of their statements is invalid. I went on your tour to get a break from work and found myself extremely uncomfortable because of the filming that went on without my prior knowledge and beyond my control. This was not relaxing for me or my family and it also was not fair. My guess is pure greed was responsible to make sure the tour was sold out because other people may not have wanted to be in that setting either. I hope the documentary is fair and for a positive purpose, not for propaganda. Maybe the next documentary should be about greed. Steve Gerding

We have done this trip every year, sometimes twice a year, when we are in Williamaburg...It is a most enjoyable 2 hours on the York River, and the crew is always very accomodating and pleasant. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone in the area..

Everything was as described in the advertisement. Very relaxing ride on a beautiful day. The boys got to help raise the sails -even dad helped. The box lunch was a great value with large proportions.

We had a great time. The crew was wonderful and informative. We would take this again!

while at wiliamsburg we tried to find something that we had not done before. we found this trip on a website before we left on vacation. although it sounded like fun on the web, when we arrived at the dock i was a little apprehensive at seeing the schooner. what a great surprise! my husband had this planned and we had a great time. the trip was so relaxing. wish we could have taken another trip at night!

Nice Boat ride around the York River, but only the captain knows history of the area. Passengers sitting near him had a real tour but there was no speaker system so that the rest of the boat could hear what he had so say. Good for an afternoon rest after walking through Yorktown.

A special treat and a boon to the Yorktown waterfront., especially for tourists and guest of locals. The captain and crew were great. Thanks
