Yorktown Sailing Charters

Yorktown Sailing Charters operates the historic tall ships Schooner Alliance II and Schooner Serenity out of the Riverwalk Landing Pier in Yorktown, Virginia, part of America's Historic Triangle alongside Jamestown and Williamsburg. The company has sailed the York River for over 30 years, guiding guests past the Yorktown Battlefield, the Victory Monument, and working watermen, with dolphins, osprey, and the occasional naval ship or submarine along the way. Serenity is rigged the traditional way, with block and tackle rather than modern winches, and passengers are welcome to lend a hand at setting sail. Beyond its regular day sails, sunset cruises, and family-friendly Captain Mayhem's School of Piracy pirate adventure, Yorktown Sailing Charters offers private charters well suited to weddings, corporate gatherings, family reunions, and office parties. Schooner Alliance II can carry up to 42 guests for a private event, while the more intimate Schooner Serenity accommodates up to 6 passengers. Charters can be customized with catering and beverage service, and the crew works with each group to shape the sailing experience to the occasion.
