Sunset Sail Tour

Great sail. Jim was super nice and pointed out many sites along the way. I didn’t know much about the Barrier Islands and enjoyed learning about them. It was a great time.

We had such a lovely sailing experience with captain Jim! We had perfect weather, watched a beautiful sunset, and we enjoyed getting to know the captain and his vast knowledge of the sea and sailing.
Added benefits were the complimentary waters, and the fact he has a bathroom on board if needed! Would recommend to anyone looking for a great simple sail with a well knowledgable and friendly captain!

We have done a lot of sunset cruises but this was one of the most relaxing cruises we have had. Captain Jim was great. Fun cruise, Hall they recommend. You can take wine and appetizers on board as well Will do this cruise again next time we are in Wilmington

Wow! What an amazing experience! Captain Jim was wonderful and the time out on the beautiful waterway was a great way for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. We might do another sail in the future but bring our girls as well next time.

We had a wonderful experience on a Friday evening sunset tour with Shamrock Sailing and Capt Jim. He was so knowledgeable about the area and the habitat. I highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time on our sailing trip. Sailing has been on my bucket list and this did NOT disappoint! Captain Jim's love and passion for the area and SAILING was very evident. His excitement for sailing was contagious. I would 100% recommend this adventure, just DO IT! Thanks, Captain Jim, I would love to do this again sometime!!

this experience was exactly what we wanted, relaxing and peaceful. Captain Jim is delightful. please do wear more layers than you think you will need as it gets breezy!

Captain was so friendly and nice! Such a great experience!!! My teenage boys loved it! A fun adventure, even in the chilly weather.

Awesome time out on the water w/ Captain Jim. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the subject matter. Just be sure to bring a jacket, but he'll have extra and blankets if you forget 😀.

Enjoyed our sunset sail with Captain Jim. Great weather, nice people on board, and we even saw some dolphins.

Absolutely lovely way to spend an early evening. We sailed though the inter-coastal and then out into the ocean. Jim was a fantastic host. Interesting, attentive and gregarious- perfect for his retirement gig!!

We're local to the area, but decided to splurge on this sail for our anniversary. It was such a lovely way to experience the area from a viewpoint we're not used to seeing. Based on a prior review we aimed to be the first one's there so we'd get first pick of seats. We sat all the way up on the bow with a bottle of wine and it was perfect! We also had great conversation with some other guests on the cruise as well as the Captain. We had some storms in the area that made our trip particularly atmospheric! We would highly recommend!

On August 20,2023 at 5:30pm we boarded Jim’s world traveled, one of a kind sailboat and set sail. Doug and I were two of six excited and happy passengers along with our captain Jim and his wife Deb. The weather was perfect, skies clear,swells low with beautiful hue to the ocean and cool, pleasant wind speed of 10-15 knots. Conversation was lively and enjoyable. We shared much about our lives and found we had experiences in common. It was my first sail. It was exhilarating, peaceful,calming,delightful,refreshing…I wanted to remain on the ocean, sailing. The sunset was breathtaking, spectacular. “ I must go down to the seas again…all I ask is a tall ship….the wheels kick, the wind’s song, white sails shaking…” Highly recommend this sailing adventure with Jim.

We have a wonderful sail out on Shamrock. Knowledgeable and super friendly Capitan, beautiful boat, and a great evening. I could not recommend it more!

Captain Jim and Debbie were extremely knowledgeable about North Carolina waterways, history and wildlife. They were extremely engaging and professional. We were lucky enough to have picked a perfect day for a sail.

Jim's storytelling was great. It very well complemented the cruise/tour. I definitely recommend it to everyone who is looking to spend a couple of good hours relaxing and learning about the area.

Captain Jim does a great job hosting up to 8 guests on his motorized sailcraft. Don't worry, you will NOT sit below deck, but you will sit on the front bow or on the outside seat cushions in the back by the steering wheel. Captain Jim is very knowledgeable about sailing and the history of the coast. Some advice, bring a windbreaker in May or September, summer you should be fine in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt. They serve cold water bottles on board. Arrive early to get preferred seating. The least favored seats on the cushions on the right side of the boat by the rear steering wheel; this is because he sails/motors on the right side of waterway up and back, which means the right side of the boat is closest to the good views of the architecture along the shore, and you don't want your back to the right side of the boat. If you tour during the day, you are going to get more sun on the bow of the boat, so where ever you sit, wear lots of sunscreen during the day tour at 2:00. The tour will take 2 hours. The scenery is lovely and the tour captain is very knowledgeable. If want to hear the stories, sit on the back cushions with captain Jim, and the best seats there are the cushions on the left side of the craft. Enjoy your trip.
