   Icarus is a great boat and very well equipped. The sails and everything else on the vessel are in great shape and the fact it only draws 4' 6" is perfect for the Chesapeake. I spent a week on Icarus and everything worked well. The value of chartering Icarus is undeniable. I plan to charter Icarus again. Icarus has a lot of sail area, so if the winds are strong douse the headsail early.

   An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! The captain was wonderful and the scenery was breathtaking, making for an unforgettable trip out on the water. The boat was spotless, the booking process was a breeze, and everything ran like clockwork — couldn’t recommend it more highly!

   Welcome Aboard Optimystic! Create a beautiful memory on the water.

   Charles was an outstanding guide. Before the outing (which was a birthday gift for my fiancé) he even offered to pick up a cake so that it could be a surprise. He and his wife made us feel at home right away as if we were out just sailing with friends. It was a gorgeous late afternoon / sunset sail with the option of swimming and cooking on the boat. We didn't rush back. Riding on the bow was so relaxing. He took time explaining sailing tips to my fiancé and let him drive the boat for awhile. Communication was clear. We'd love to book again with Charles and Renee!

   Our group of four had a great three days onboard the Icarus. The boat was easy to sail and operate. No problems motoring around in the marinas, steers easy in reverse too. Jim was a great host, very responsive and knowledgeable. Highly recommend his boat to sail the Chesapeake!

   Sunmi was extremely attentive - he was on time, had the boat ready to, went through review of the boat and we were off. We had a blast!! The boat drives very well. Great for an afternoon on the Chesapeake!
