| Excellent evening for sailing. Crew was very knowledgeable and friendly. Recommend you bring a cushion to sit on as the seating consists of wooden boxes, etc. Nothing negative to say about this trip. |

| The boat is so pretty and the sunset was breathtaking. Could not use the sails because there was no wind, but I bet that would have been nice. The captian was so nice and so informative. We loved listening to all the history. The 1st mate was not very friendly and he was rude to me upon boarding. Set a hurt tone for the evening. He really needs to bone up on being friendly. The timing of taking us under the bridge to watch the sunset could not have been any more perfect. |

| Very nice evening. Great weather, there could have been a little more wind. Friendly knowledgable staff. Easy to intermingle and talk with other guests. Fun to participate in putting up the sales. Clean. Overall a great experience and I will highly recommend it to others. |

| It was a very nice experience. The only trouble was that it rained for part of the ride so we had to be in the back of the boat under a cover. It was a little hard to see what was ahead of you,but it was still fun. The captain and crew were very informative about the ship,history of Yorktown and all their travels. |

| The trip was really nice. The captain was very knowledgable of the history of Yorktown and points of interest along the York River. We set near the captain to hear the history and didn't see much of the crew, but the crew were nice also. The ship was comfortable and a lot of fun. I would recommend it to everyone. |

| We've TWICE been on the Schooner Alliance out of Yorktown, VA - both trips within a week of each other! On each occasion we found the captain(s) and crew to be charming and engaging. Those of us who are familiar with sailing understand that generally the wind goes down along with the sun (except in the case of inclement or impending inclement weather!), so, whereas the crew seemed a bit apologetic about the lack of wind, the sunset on the first sail was beautiful and well worth the experience (we missed the sunset on the second sail, due to cloud cover), and BOTH cruises were delightfully relaxing and beautiful in their own right. We're "locals" and won't hesitate to recommend this experience to other locals as well as visitors to the area. We're also looking forward to sailing on the Rappahannock aboard Serenity this fall (maybe the weekend of the Oyster Festival). (We don't have much money but can appreciate a QUALITY experience for our dollar!!)
Greg and Laura - you're the best! 'Hope to one day join you in the San Blas islands! |

| I have more than 2100 days under power and sail. We invited a couple of friends visiting us from Tacoma WA to accompany us on a cruise the Sat. before this cruise and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I brought my Bride of 42 years back for a Sunset Cruise on 9/9 to help celebrate her Birthday. We enjoyed both trips to the extent that we are exploring a week charter on board "Alliance" this winter when she is in the San Blas Islands.
The Captain was extremely frtiendly and knowledgeble about the local history and even though we are history buffs, we learned a considerble amount from him.
The Crew were very efficient and courtreous.
All in all a great experience!
Strongly recommended.

| It was a very enjoyable sail. The captain and crew were very knowledgeable and took the time to answer our questions and to point out historic sites along the river. |
