I booked a sailing afternoon with Captain Doug for my family of 5. The wind Gods were not happy…read morewith the hot summer, so we had to postpone the sailing until the conditions were right. Captain Doug was great at communicating about this, he understood that my 3 kids (7,6 & 4) were not going to be happy in those calm conditions because it tends to be too hot and a little boring. After a couple of reschedules, we went out on a cloudy day. We were a little concerned about rain but this man knows his weather and assured us it would be fine - maybe a couple of specks of rain, and it was exactly like that. Besides, he told us about his bimini (the big umbrella-like top that covers the whole sitting area) in his beautiful Lady Anne, a 30' Catalina boat, and exactly how to dress for the occasion. My kids were super excited, more about the innards of the boat, which he graciously let them explore, than anything. They went to see the cabins and the head (bathroom), and they were thrilled about the kitchenette. Then he let them grab the wheel, and at the same time he taught my wife and me about pulling the sails up, getting the front sail (Genoa) nice and tight, and a very awesome general 101 about sailing. We had a blast out there, realizing that Lake Lewisville is bigger than we knew. For a few hours, we forgot about everything else, we were the crew of a sailing boat that was able to harness the wind power to move pretty fast. We zig-zagged through the lake, then under a bridge where the Captain commanded the 3 little crew members to yell their lungs out (while taking some energy off, thanks!!), and then back to the marina. The whole afternoon created some memories that will be with us forever.

If you are planning a romantic evening this is it! When we…read morearrived Captain Dave and Dina were already waiting to welcome us into their home, "The Black Watch Sail Boat" - The table setting was lovely - the entire boat was extremely clean and inviting - The food was off the charter - fantastic - and served by Captain Dave with a little background of each dish. The wine was so good we took a picture of it just so we could buy it ourselves in the future. Then off to the Sunset Sail - Dina and Captain Dave had a small area ready for us to sit with cushions and blanket - Captain Dave was jolly on the spot with the wine so we could sit back and just enjoy the beautiful sunset cruise. Nothing was rushed. Thank you to Captain Dave and Dina for a evening we will not forget - Sincerely grateful, Gina and Elmer Strieker Also Thanks to Traci and Ryan for giving us this lovely gift for Christmas.

Shared from Google…read more Paid for classes in April. Waited on the instructor to set up a class until July, but he was out of town. I requested a refund in July, and was told the instructor was out of town again and would reach out when he returned. It's now September and I've heard or received nothing. This is highly unacceptable for an organization that claims it supports wounded warriors and disabled veterans. 10/2/2021 In response to the owner's response. I do appreciate taking ownership for missed communication, but expeditiously means "in a timely manner". My original request for a refund was 3 months ago, and as of today I have yet to see the refund. Once the refund is seen, I would be more than happy to return the knot rope, cert book, textbook, and the drawstring backpack they came in. Aside from that, I was offered for my family and I to attend a discovery sail at no cost. I declined due to time constraints now that summer break has ended. I will say this. I chose this school based on the reviews found on Google and Facebook which are really great, and at the recommendation of the ASA. I'm sure the captain is great and believe that other people may have had great experiences here, this is just mine. Take it for what it's worth. 4/22/22 We are now in to a year since I started this process, and this company has yet to make good on their "expeditious" refund. Nothing whatsoever.

When I tried to book it the price was different (still had the $1079 price but checkout was different) so I gave a call to check in. When the price was given to the lady on the phone... she laughed at me. I was then told that it was priced incorrectly and we would not be able to get it for that price. The price went from $1079 to $1709. I can see where it can from but I do believe thy price should have been given due that price being shown for over a month. Just from the customer service of the phone call alone... I do not recommend.

It fit a lot of people and didn't feel crowded. We were allowed to bring food and drinks on the barge and blast the music as loud as we wanted. Once out far enough on the lake you can jump off the second deck or if you prefer climb down the ladder on the first and swim around. I would definitely recommend for a birthday, bachelorette party or even just to enjoy the view of Lewisville Lake. The only downfall is that there was one bathroom which got kind of hot and was pretty tiny but wasn't dirty or anything so that's a plus. The barge itself isn't anything fancy but lake appropriate in my opinion. Would like to come back and ride again soon.

I talked to Patricia on the phone several times and don't understand why all these other reviews are so rude to her- she was great to work with and I had no issues. We had 100 people, so as everyone got there the process was efficient to sign in and get everyone on the boat. We could bring our own alcohol and food, and play music as loud as we wanted. We also had some friends join us from another boat, and they were flexible about that. Everyone had an absolute blast. Everyone working on the boats was friendly and helpful, making sure we were safe but having fun. I would highly recommend booking one of their party barges, it was a great time, no hidden fees (like most other companies), and they were easier and helpful to work with. It was perfect for what we needed, and I'm so grateful they helped make our college graduation celebration such a success!
