"We had a great trip on Zach's Hobie Cat through the sound. While we selected the tour, we still got a chance to learn a bit about sailing since it was just us on the boat — we even picked up a good bit of speed (at least for sailing newbies like us) as we were going with the wind! This was a great way to spend a few hours away from the beach on our Emerald Isle vacation. Thanks for the great morning adventure, Zach!"

Family Cruise

"Zachary is an awesome captain and instructor! He was patient with teaching us novice sailors, knowledgeable, and clearly loves what he does. Would recommend a cruise and/or lessons with him to anyone. My family had a blast!"

Gabriella

Family lesson

"While on vacation I booked the Advanced Sailing Lesson to learn specific catamaran sailing techniques since I only sail monohull keelboats back at home. Zach was a great instructor who is knowledgeable and experienced. He tailors the lesson to whatever topic(s) you want to learn and practice on the water. I highly recommend taking a charter or lesson with him no matter what your experience level is. Sailing in Bogue Sound is enjoyable and safe. I will return in the future to continue practice sailing on a catamaran."
