Was a very nice trip and afternoon. The only thing better would have been if we could have used the sails. Very informative guide and enjoyed him very much. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.

You can't beat sailing in such a beautiful spot in NC even on a December day. The booking process was super easy, and Jim was very communicative about weather updates and parking directions. He also had so much knowledge of sailing and of the NC coast. We really enjoyed chatting with Jim and meeting the other couple onboard, and we had plenty of time to ourselves to enjoy the view, too. I would highly recommend — perfect, relaxing afternoon activity.

Captain Jim was wonderful! I highly recommend to anyone looking for an awesome sailing experience. This was my first time sailing (can mark this off my bucket list) & I couldn’t have asked for anything better😊

My boyfriend and I went on a beautiful sail ride yesterday with Captain Jim. It was a pleasure from beginning to end and I would recommend this relaxing afternoon to anyone. I wanted to go again for the sunset cruise and maybe I will before my vacation is over. Thank you Jim!! You have a beautiful boat.

We had an outstanding afternoon sail and the weather was almost perfect. The light breeze was comfortable but not quite enough to propel the sailboat without a bit of engine help. Captain Jim was very knowledgeable about the wildlife, the formation of sand bars and islands and the local area. Most gracious host. Getting on and off the sailboat from his dinghy might be a little challenging for some older or mobility challenged persons.

I can't really "rate" the sailing experience because a potential rainstorm (it happened!) forced a cancellation. That was a disappointment (we had guests from the West Coast), but we were given plenty of notice and offered a choice of a postponed trip or a refund. So we'll try again with the same company the next time we have visitors; they handled everything so thoughtfully and professionally!

Captain Jim was a fantastic, friendly host for a wonderful 2 hour (and change) peaceful escape onto the Intracoastal Waterway around Masonboro Island and Wrightsville Beach. An expert not only in sailing, we enjoyed informative and entertaining conversation with Jim on his knowledge of, and love for, not only sailing and the area waters, but local wildlife, history, and the environmental concerns guiding (and sometimes in conflict with) the development of the area. Our intended "sunset sail" had to be rescheduled due to the weather forecast, and Jim was flexible and communicated well in finding a time that worked for our travel schedule (we were making a detour through Wilmington on the way through just to sail with Jim) as well as the other passengers and the weather. Highly recommended!

Shamrock Sailing's free parking lot was easy to find. Once you park, walk to the stairs going down to a small platform on either side and Captain Jim will pick you up in a small boat to go to the sailboat. Captain Jim has lived in the area for a long time and has great stories and history of the area. The ride was smooth and perfect for an afternoon sail. I would highly recommend this adventure!

Captain Jim was a fabulous host, a great communicator, and very knowledgeable about sailing and the Wrightsville Beach area. We felt that our safety was his #1 priority and was very willing to assist elderly passengers get on and off the boat. He was fun, flexible, and wanted to make sure that our sail with him was a positive experience. We highly recommend his cruise tour and will definitely go out for another sail with him. It was a lot of fun and a great way to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. Thanks for a great time!

We had a beautiful afternoon of sailing up and Masonboro Island and off of Wrightsville Beach with Captain Jim. He was a wealth of information about the local bird life, flora and fauna, and cultural history. The boat is large, well equipped, comfortable, and stable. We went midweek, so there was little other boat traffic. This is a great way to see this lovely corner of North Carolina. Highly recommended!!
