   Let's Go Sail in Gloucester Point, Virginia

   Captain Bill was a fantastic host for our inaugural sailing adventure in the York River out of Gloucester Point, VA. We booked him for a Saturday afternoon in June for a 2:30 to 5:30 cruise and it was everything we could have asked for and more. He explained the region's waters and relation to the Chesapeake Bay as well as the naval and nautical history of the area in addition to teaching us about his boat and how to sail it properly. We wanted to be immersed in the experience and he let us be very hands on, giving direction for assisting with deploying the sails, commanding the helm, reading the wind and performing the tacking maneuvers while being at the helm. We also had a chance to relax on the forward section of the deck as Bill took over, he passed our libations to us and helped us enjoy the experience of sailing while soft music played that even invited an interaction with one of the regions local dolphin who accompanied and entertained us for well over a half an hour on our return up the river. What an awesome way to spend an afternoon.

   From the moment I booked there was an open line of communication with Damani. When we arrived he and Frank gave us nothing but top tier hospitality! They made sure we were comfortable the entire trip and we had an amazing time!!

   Chesapeake Bay Sailing Charter - 33' Cape Dory sailing from Kilmarnock, Virginia

   Our trip was just perfect. We were looking for a true sailing experience, and Captain Russ gave us that. My husband was at the wheel almost the entire trip, talking all things sailing Capt Russ. Meanwhile I enjoyed the sun and sounds of the water against the boat and the wind in the sails from up front. It was a peaceful and enjoyable trip, despite the wind giving out on us towards the end. We'd book with Captain Russ again in a heartbeat!

   Chesapeake Bay Sailing Charter - 33' Cape Dory sailing from Kilmarnock, Virginia

   Captain Russ was just ideal for our half day on the bay! Super pleasant and communicative; completely adaptive to whatever we were up for. The Joie de Vie is ship-shape and the perfect vessel for the Chesapeake Bay. I’ll go ahead and credit him with steady 5-6k winds All day also- just a perfect day. No doubt we will be back for more- thanks again, Captain Russ!

   Charter 32' Modern Hunter Sailboat In Gloucester, Point Virginia

   My family of 5 had a wonderful day sailing with Bill to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday. Bill was very knowledgeable and excellent at explaining things to my children, even letting them each take the helm. We felt very at ease and safe our entire trip. I am already recommending him to friends.

   Mom, Dad, & three GROWN children went out on a wonderful outing with Captain Bill. He was a gracious host & his beautiful sailboat was spectacular! Enjoyed the experience immensely & seriously considering sailing lessons next spring. His boat was not only in immaculate condition but very comfortable for all five adults (plus the amiable captain). We were thrilled to see dolphins and hear about the area's history. We sailed 14.9 memorable miles. I gave a 5 star rating because the ratings don't go to 10. Honestly, how does one rate a great memory that lasts a lifetime? We weren't sure if the weather was going to be a wash out for a few days out, but Captain Bill kept in contact via email with weather updates and was extremely accommodating to what would work best for us. The weather wasn't what one would call picture perfect but I thought it was awesome having so much of the water to ourselves. We only saw one other sailboat. This was an exhilarating experience with a knowledgeable captain and I can't recommend him enough!
