Couldn’t have had a better experience. Not your typical “resort” sailing class. Camryn and Matty were both exceptional. We took the ASA 101 course and we’re hooked. Will definitely be back for more advanced classes, and we’re looking forward to a Sunset Cruise and daily rentals to improve our skillset in the meantime. Thanks guys!

Nina Wilkinson Carolina Runner

Our family had such a nice Sunset Cruise! The crew was amazing - even let our kids “drive” the boat! They pointed out landmarks & sea animals, stopped for pictures, and provided a great experience. Check them out!

Andrew Yeargan WP Sail

This is one of the best experiences on Wrightsville Beach whether you sail or not. A mega-yacht captain in his previous life, Captain Matty is a real expert who will share as much of the sailing experience with you as you can handle comfortably. Recommend highly.

Rachel R Carolina Runner

Mattie and his crew were great. We did the sunset tour and the island hopping tour. It was absolutely beautiful and a lot of fun. I’d recommend them to anyone visiting wrightsville!
