About
Hop on catamaran Pisces and depart in the late afternoon. We will set sail and watch the sun dip below the horizon as you enjoy the glow of the Rappahannock River. There’s nothing for you to do except kick back and take in the serene beauty. This is coastal living at its best! This trip is good for those who want to spend a relaxing evening with friends and family out on the water.
More info
All of our adventures begin with an introduction to the vessel, our beloved 58' sailing catamaran Pisces, and a safety briefing. We depart from the dock and motor out of the harbor and into the Rappahannock River, where the sailing begins in earnest.
What to bring
You may bring a cooler with your food and beverage of choice, although no glass containers (except a wine bottle) are permitted onboard.
Dress in layers as conditions on the water can be warmer/colder that you might expect from the land climate. Please bring appropriate footwear for the boat, quick drying clothes (synthetic layers are great), sunscreen, and a rain coat (just in case!). There is plenty of room and privacy in the cabin to store your belonging and change clothes. You may wish to bring a camera or smart phone, although we do not assume any liability for their protection from the elements.
