My husband and I recently took a 4 pm trip and had such a pleasant sail! The crew and Captain Peter are so friendly and welcoming to everyone. They engaged with everyone on the boat and took lots of pictures for each group. They invited people to assist the crew and took time to explain the mechanics of the boat as well as tell local stories about Hilton Head. As a result of their hospitality, everyone on the boat engaged with one another. We had a fabulous time! Highly recommend this activity!
