YOUR CAPTAIN IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE!!
Join Captain Dave Wilbar, lifelong sailor, a USCG 100-ton Sailing Master and American Sailing Master Instructor, for a private and ""real life"" sailing experience aboard his spirited 22-foot Capri sailboat “Fireball.”
This lively vessel is designed with a permanently attached, fixed wing keel; she will ""heel"", like all sailboats, but Fireball is safe—SHE WILL NOT TIP OVER!
Whether you just want to enjoy a day on the water without engine noise, or a seasoned sailor looking to compare your “tweaking” skills, or just want to swap sailing' stories, Captain Dave can help you take the next step towards your island sailing dream.
Captain Dave can provide all your sail training to ""challenge"" the American Sailing Keelboat 1 certification. Unlike most beginner training, your ASA Keelboat 1 sail training on Fireball will include THREE DAYS OF PRIVATE TRAINING! Multi student discounts available. Max three students. Please select the blue button "MESSAGE OWNER" under the "YOUR CREW" section to reach me for details, scheduling and pricing. Disregard scheduling prompts when you message me.
How about sailing down the Elizabeth River by the Navy base for a closer look at our US Navy fleet of Carriers, Cruisers and Subs? Or a Sunset Sail 🌅
Fireball can take a sailing break, drop the “hook”, and enjoy a refreshing adult beverage and swim. Tap into Fireball's compact Bluetooth speakers and listen to your own playlist!
Your safety is our top priority. All USCG required safety gear, including life jackets, flares, fire extinguisher, swim ladder, EPIRB, and VHF radio are easily accessible.
Fireball will not go out if there is a “Small Craft Advisory”. Weather changes quickly in coastal SE Virginia, faster than TV can report. Always contact Captain Dave if you have any weather questions. Sorry, no weather-related cancellations by guests.
Fireball has an outboard engine, an ice cooler, (Ice included) and a porta potty.
“Tipping is never required but always appreciated.”
