(Schooners Alliance & Serenity)
Seller Description:
Greg and Laura Lohse have been sailing tall ships together since 1988. Their chief desire on every cruise is to help each guest feel welcome, relaxed and free to enjoy their cruise by doing as much or as little on board as they wish. Their vast experience in teaching tall ship seamanship and navigation enables them to provide a rich learning adventure to all guests who wish to participate in the operation of their craft.
Their two schooners include the gaff-rigged 105' schooner the Alliance, and the 65' gaff topsail schooner the Serenity. Both boats give you the opportunity to explore the Chesapeake Bay tidewaters!
For those who love history, yearn for romance, or have dreamed of experiencing a true sailing adventure, your ship has just come in!

Activity Description
Take a beautiful sunset cruise aboard the Tall Ship Alliance or Serenity on the York River from the Riverwalk Landing Pier. Sit back and enjoy the breathtaking nighttime views of the village streets and paths overlooking the York River.
Discover the tranquility of cruising the York River on board a stunning vessel, powered only by the wind in our sails.
While watching the sun go down you can experience:
- 18th Century homes, naval warships, and submarines
- Revolutionary battlefields such as the Yorktown Battlefield where our country won its independence!
- Victory Monument on the banks of the York River
- The scenic Riverwalk
- Dolphins or osprey
Four centuries ago, Captain John Smith explored the waters around Yorktown aboard a small sailing vessel while trading with the Powhatan Indians. Join him in spirit when you sail the Alliance or Serenity.
Lend a hand at setting sail, enjoy a beverage or snack from the ship's galley, or just listen to the sound of the wind as we glide along under a cloud of canvas.
This trip is so much more than just a sail - it's an opportunity to experience an exciting and unique time in America's history!
Please keep in mind that while our trips are relaxing cruises on the river and not narrated tours, you are always welcome to ask the captain and crew any questions about what you are seeing.
