Wonderful sail on The Stars and Stripes!

Peter and his first mates were very helpful and knowledgeable about the history of the boat, the area and wildlife. Very accommodating...we had someone in our group w a bad back and they loaded her first and gave her a spot she was comfortable in for the entire hour and a half.

Bucket List Checkoff

We had the most perfect trip. My husband has always been wanting to sail, I was worried I’d get sea sick, but never even came close to that. We had beautiful weather and such an incredible ride. We even saw a few dolphins! The crew was super nice and knowledgeable. This was the perfect check mark for my husband’s bucket list item.
