Captain and crew made everyone welcome and went above beyond to assist guests. The 2 hour sunset sail was beautiful and it's a great location to view from the water. I also want to thank Yorktown Charters for accommodating a change in our cruise date. We originally had scheduled a cruise in July but had to cancel at the last minute due to an unexpected illness. Without asking, The company converted our reservation to a gift certificate that we were able to use for a future booking. So grateful we were able to reschedule for this weekend. Class A organization!

Road the Schooner Alliance on a hot summer day with no wind so we moved by motor, but at multiple…read morepoints it felt like we weren't moving and were baking on the boat. If you go on a hot day, sit towards the front of the boat because you'll get any breeze that gets mustered up by the boat's movement. I'm not a boat person, and if it wasn't so hot out, I think I would have liked it better. The crew were so friendly and informative about how the boat works and they fired a cannon, which was neat. The drinks they offered were cold and went well with the boat riding. The chairs they have are plastic folding chairs, which ended up being more comfortable than expected.

I wish I could review about their services but we never made it that far. Their web-site…read moreemphasizes to email or call for info. For various reasons, I prefer email. I emailed them. Within a few minutes, I receive an email response with "Please give me a call." No attempt to answer my questions. Why do businesses solicit customer questions by email if they have no intent to answer questions by email? I pinged them back that I was surprised by the lack of detail. I received another response that noted: "Figured a quick, immediate response was better than a detailed tonight." That was wrong...a quick/immediate response simply telling me to call accomplished nothing but annoying me. By the way, the "detailed tonight" email never came. When the business puts the burden on the customer to track down the business for answers, they may lose business. That happened in my case unless I decide to change my mind and track them down by phone for more info.

Can't say enough great things about Captain Alan and York River Charters. We spent 6 hours with…read morehim in mid- August and had an incredible time. My teenaged kids wanted to catch some sharks and he made it happen. We spent the morning fishing for bait and the late morning catching sharks in the bay. I felt like we were out with an old friend. Captain Alan obviously knows what he's doing, was eager to make the trip special for my family, and loves his job. What a great day!

It was a really cool experience and definitely highly recommend best way to see Yorktown. Super bike friendly! It was $25 per person so not bad at all.

At low tide you can even bring lawn chairs down the stairs to the river and use the makeshift beach to relax.

Bambi picked us up at Williamsburg Inn, asked about our preferences and then filled the day with interesting historical references and stories. She used a voice amplifier to ensure all passengers could hear clearly along the route and offered us snacks and drinks. Bambi was very knowledgeable about all topics and complimentary of the interpreters from the sites we visited. She provided detail accounts on all aspects of the time from land formation, battles, troop movements and daily life. Her passion, breadth and depth of knowledge made for a very educational and enjoyable day. We highly recommend BWT!

I've been wanting to visit this for a while and was lucky to get tickets many months in advance…read more It's on a private property and is open only ~8 times in a year. There were different 2-hour times that you can choose from when I bought the tickets. A full day pass is also available that allows you to enter multiple times in a day. The organizers send emails containing directions to get to the place, tips and other reminders. When they tell you not to wear pretty shoes, listen. Even though it had not rained for the past week when we went, there were areas that were really muddy. Wear boots. Went here on a Saturday afternoon. There was a short orientation at the start near the registration area then we went to the heads of the presidents. It was a cool experience seeing all these huge busts of the presidents. Two brief talks during the visit were (1) trivia about the presidents and (2) history of the place/presidents' heads. A gift shop at the entrance/exit had magnets, postcards, tree ornaments, posters, etc. Had a great time here and was lucky to get those tickets ahead of time because they run out quickly.

It is very easy to find once parked you meet some of the staff. You will sign a waiver and then get a quick rundown and you're able to go down on your own and explore. I highly recommend wearing rubber boots, rain, boots, etc. They do have some available, but if you have your own, that's awesome. When I was there, there were many people in flip-flops, sneakers, and dress shoes, and they could only explore so much. I stayed around up until they closed because as the sun was setting, the photography got better . The best time to visit is later in the day as sunsets. I would definitely do this more than once, as I feel like the photography could change, depending on the weather . I think this is a beautiful park and love how it is aging.

We caught about 25 croakers(?) but people around us caught many more, someone even caught a shark. Ryan and Nick the first mates were really knowledgeable and personable. They helped us identify fish, cut our bait, and chatted with us throughout the night. They both helped make this fishing experience amazing. The Captain introduced himself and the boat at the start, communicated with us as the night went on and most importantly kept us level when the currents got a little rough. There were about 20 people fishing with us so the only downfall of this trip was some of our lines kept getting tangled which was likely user error. We will definitely be back to try out the early morning fishing trip.
