Not for me

| If you want to just sit on the water then this tour is for you. I thought the trip was more of a sail down the shore line. I didn't realize that we just went to a spot, then sat on that spot for awhile. I would have enjoyed it more if we just slowly sailed up and down the shoreline. Our tour went under the bridge, sat for an hour then went back and docked. It was neat to see the sails go up and down by hand and the fact that they let the customers help setting the sails. This trip was not for me or my 2 year old. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| After seeing this schooner sailing around the York River, I decided one Sunday afternoon to take the cruise. I went alone but felt totally comfortable with the down to earth, friendly crew. It was a great opportunity to not only enjoy a beautiful day on the water but to meet lots of folks who were visiting from out of town. | ||||||

Great Saturday Day Sail

| I realize that the conditions can have a lot to do with how much one enjoys this activity. We had a beautiful day for sailing - not too hot and not too cold; overcast yet with delightful breezes so that the Alliance cut a fast pace through the water. The crew was friendly and helpful. I was interested in helping with the sails and learning more about the boat, and they were quite accommodating. Others wanted to hear more about the locale and congregated in a different group. Overall my wife and I had a delightful time and were glad we did this. My only complaint was that they held up the departure of the boat for about 20 minutes to wait for a late-coming party. Now that's not a bad thing, but the captain ended the cruise on time so essentially our cruise was cut short by 20 minutes or so (out of 2 hours). We were sternly warned when we got the tickets that the ship would take off on time - so be there or miss the boat. So all but one party was there on time, and we all got a shortened sail because one party was late. The owners need to have a firm policy - either take off on time, or if there is a wait, then make the cruise the proper length so that all get the full cruise they paid for. | ||||||

Pleasant sail on a tall ship

| This was a very pleasant sail on a tall ship. Crew members were personable and knowledgeable and we were encouraged to ask them questions. We also were able to help hoist the sails. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| All but one of our group had never sailed before so it was a first adventure for us. We had younger children with us and they had so much fun helping raise the jib sail and steering the schooner for a few minutes. The adults had a super time just enjoying the experience. We had some wind so were completely under sail most of our journey. I would recommend this especially to others who have not sailed before to experience sailing at least once in their lives. | ||||||

| Our sail on the Alliance was relaxing, beautiful & informative. The crew was knowledgeable of the area (shared some history). They were friendly and gave everyone a chance to take part in the raising of the sails. We enjoyed the trip and would do it again. | ||||||

| AFTER PARKING AND WALKING DOWN THE HILL TOWARDS THE RIVER WE NOTICED THE TALL MASTS OF THE SCHOONER ALLIANCE AT THE RIVERS EDGE. WE DECIDED ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT TO GET TICKETS AND GO FOR THE FIRST SAIL OF THE DAY. THE SUN WAS OUT BUT THE WINDS WERE LIGHT, THE CREW WAS WILLING AND THE OTHER GUESTS WERE AMMICABLE. WE ALL HAD A GREAT ITIME IN THE SHORT TIME WE SPENT TOGETHER. WOULD RECOMEND THIS SAIL TO ANYONE. JOHN N LOU | ||||||
