Let's Go Sail Virginia
Overview
Few people get out on the water these days, and fewer still get to sail a modern sailboat. Here is the single-most unique activity in Williamsburg, where guests get to run the helm or just relax on the water. They get to enjoy an optional talk on the two battles that ended the American Revolutionary War. Sometimes they get to see US Navy ships transiting Yorktown.
What's Included
- As part of learning to sail, you get to run the helm (wheel) and to turn the sails as we tack back and forth. During the history tour, you get to see famous works of art which will then be sent to you
- Lunch Bring your own boxed lunch and beverages. Bottled water provided.
