Schooners Alliance & Serenity

Thought we would go out further. The seating was uncomfortable for a 2 hour cruise. It was awesome seeing dolphins in the York River though.

We have watched the sails across the river for many years. This summer we decided to go ahead and take the trip and we all greatly enjoyed it. The captain and crew were professional, personable and very informative. Sailing on the river is a wonderful way to spend some relaxing and comfortable time on the water especially on a hot day.

We expected to be traveling further than we did. We basically stayed pretty much within view of the harbor. Would have appreciated more historical info. We discovered that the captain was relating historical info as questions were asked. We were not sitting near him and discovered the talk as we explored the ship.

We enjoyed the peaceful cruise on the York river. We were lucky to have seats close to Captain Greg so we were able to get a lot of history of the Bay area and how it came to be.

Great sail. Crew was extremly friendly. Definatly going back. The kids loved exploring the boat.

We truly enjoyed our time on the Alliance. The staff was wonderful. Allowed us to raise the sails. That was neat. They encourage questions and there is so much going on along the river with the Coast guard, history, and the state police patrol. It was peaceful and enlightening. Refreshments are available and plenty of shade could be found. I would highly recommend it to any tourist looking for some time on the water.

We truly enjoy taking the Schooner Alliance and spending time with Captain Greg. We take our grandchildren and other visitors to Williamsburg / Yorktown. We like to sit back with Greg as he describes the history of the area and answers our questions. It is peaceful and relaxing. We've even had the opportunity to see the bridge open and Navy ships steam in and out. We will continue to go on the trips each season.

Captain Greg was a man of few words. He would give one or two word answers to questions, but not much more. Laura was very friendly and informative. The second mate was a local teenage boy who did an outstanding job providing detailed answers to the Yorktown battle and sight locations. The thing is, you had to ask questions as to where the points of interest, and the sights were located. I would recommend this tour, but first you should see the town, and the Yorktown battlefield to get a lay of the land. Then you will know what to look for from the Alliance.

This was our second trip on the Alliance. Both days we made reservations a couple of days out when we knew it would be nice weather. The captain and crew made the trip interesting, even getting kids involved in hoisting the sails. Plenty of places to sit on the ship, and a galley with snacks. Zerve made reserving very easy. Did everything on my smartphone. No need to print an eticket; just follow the directions to get your code. Happy sailing!

My senior parents, myself, and my 12 yr old all went and had a good time. My son help raise the sails and talk to people.

This was a very enjoyable sail.......relaxing and friendly event

The crew was excellent. They were a tight knit crew that were attentive to everyone's needs. Our trip was the sunset cruise. By the time we returned, there had been two 50th anniverseries celebrated, a wedding reunion (the ships first couple returned), and a proposal. We would highly recommend this cruise.

My husband and I had taken the cruise last year with our adult daughter and this year, took our other daughter and her husband. We enjoyed it so much both times. We will definitely take the cruise again with some friends. The crew was outstanding.

We'd talked about taking the cruise for some time and had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. I would definitely recommend it to others. Thanks.

we hae had to reschedule as the schooner adventure was cancelled due to heavy rain and high winds.We look forward to trying again!!!!
