★★★★★Alyson UrieCapt Jay and Beau were fantastic for our sunset sail charter. We book a cruise with Philip Boatworks every time we are in hatteras. Such a relaxing time. We will continue this tradition next year!
★★★★★Jill SpringerCaptains Jay and Beaux were fantastic. The boat was comfortable and they provide a cooler and ice for beverages, along with your background music of choice. And the sunset... beyond beautiful. Do not miss this opportunity to experience one of the most magical natural wonders of Hatteras.
★★★★★Jodie StetzWhat an amazing adventure! The crew was an amazingly sweet and informative family! We loved our day and all of the great memories that we made!
★★★★★Meredith KamisMy sister planned the best bachelorette party in OBX, and the highlight of our trip was our sunset sail with Meg, Noah, Jay and Sunny! They made us feel so comfortable, safe and showed us the best time. The sunset was gorgeous and the sailing was expert. We got a little mini lesson during our sail and Jay let my sister steer the boat! Meg even recommended an amazing place for dinner beforehand. Highly recommend booking your sail with this lovely family!
★★★★★Julie TrettelMy family and I had the most amazing time out on the Stiletto with Captain Jay. He was very accommodating to our needs. He gave lots of sailing tips and even let the kids assist some. He knew just where to stop and play, and when to return to shore for the best possible sunset views on our return. The Outer Banks is a favorite vacation spot for us and after many years of visits and thinking we'd seen and done it all, Captain Jay made this trip even more spectacular than ever. We look forward to many more adventures with Phillips Boatworks on our future visits to Hatteras Island.
