Jess was awesome. His boat was perfect. We had 9 peoplel - 4 adults, 5 kids. Great sailing, touring the rivers and we anchored and swam for a while. The boat was perfect and made for a great day on the water.

I cannot recommend Jess enough for a sailing charter! I was looking to charter a boat from Kent Island for my sister's bachelorette party, and Jess was far and above the most responsive and courteous person I reached out to. Jess and his wife were incredibly hospitable, constantly making sure if we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. The boat was very spacious, and more than enough room for our group of 9. We cruised around for several hours, lounging around and enjoying the drinks and snacks we had brought on board. We stopped for a long swim, and Jess provided us with a bunch of floats, tubes, and noodles.
We had the most amazing day sailing around the bay, and was it was definitely the highlight of our weekend.
Jess, thank you for making my sister's bachelorette so special!!

Amazing experience and an amazing captain! I rented this boat for my birthday last year and it was an absolutely great experience. Everyone had a great time and we are definitely doing this again!

The pontoon boat is a great excursion and Captain Jess is the absolute best! We have booked with him before, and the second time was just as amazing as the first time. We will be back!

Renting Jess' catamaran was more than just renting his boat; we received a friendly and educated host who knew his way around the Chesapeake and made us all feel welcomed. We had a very diverse group and all felt at home meeting Jess. We felt taken care of and were allowed to enjoy being on the water while he led the trip. The catamaran was in good condition and covered the basics of grilling and lounging. Even better were the floats and the wake board that were available for us to use. We'll definitely rent again!

The boat was GORGEOUS in real life! Everything about the trip was smooth! I enjoyed and will be booking again :)

The Imagine was clean and well-stocked with supplies. It accommodated all 12 of us and four furry friends comfortably!
Jess is responsive, communicative, straight-forward, and more than accommodating! Despite us arriving way earlier than our scheduled appointment, he allowed us to load up as he prepped the ship and then proceeded to wait about 45mins after our scheduled departure time because our group couldn't get its act together!
Throughout the process, he handled it all with a great attitude!

Jess was a truly above-and-beyond incredible captain. Not only was his boat perfect for our 8-person bachelorette party (even in the rain!), but he was very flexible and easy-going with our schedule and needs, and even took us directly back to our house at the end of the ride for an extra fee. We are so grateful that we found Jess and were able to have a one-of-a-kind boating adventure with him!

Jess was very welcoming and accommodated everything we asked for to help make my daughter’s 19th Birthday memorable. We will definitely use him for our next boating excursion and highly recommend his services.
