We had a wonderful sunset cruise aboard the windfall with captain Rob. He is a wonderfully nice, soft-spoken man and the views from the water were great. As others have said, it gets a bit tight with six people aboard, so bring some wine and a snack, but don't expect room for a full picnic. A wonderful way to spend... More

We had never been on a sailboat before and this was a great experience. The Captain was very knowledgable about local history, sailboats, etc.. He tells you to bring something to eat when you come, but there isn't much room for that. The boat holds 6 people, and hopefully you have good company. I was able to take some great... More

A trip to Ocracoke would not be complete without sailing on the schooner with Captain Rob! He's a true pirate in the best sense of the word and a fantastic human being! He makes you feel like it's your boat too! Wish the sunset cruise wouldn't have been booked but we still enjoyed the 5pm cruise. Will be back again... More

We have been coming here for years and have never done this we will do it every time we come back

For a relaxing evening outing on our Ocracoke mini-moon, we opted for a sunset cruise on a schooner with character. Captain Rob is full of stories, quick wit and ready to answer any questions of his maximum 6 guests. The capacity limits ensure a fun ride and chance to get to know fellow passengers along with the captain, or just... More

Exchanged a couple of emails with captain rob. They purchased a new schooner earlier this year and its only a 6 passenger boat. My kids are really disappointed, but ahh life goes on. You can still charter the Windfall for a 1 hour pirate cruise - up to 6 people $150/ hour Still gets 5 stars from me as 1)... More

The Windfall is a blast. I've been on it several times starting at age 7. They have pirate tales, songs, and a buried treasure! It really is good family fun. The children get to raise the sails and everyone gets a chance to steer ! I still have cherished photos of my and my mother and father on the windfall... More

We've gone on the windfall the last two years and would highly recommend. The sunset cruise is beautiful and Captain Rob has great stories to tell.

My husband and I rode the Schooner Windfall while in Ocracoke on vacation for a week. We did the sunset tour ($25/person for 1 hr 15 min. cruise). This was the first time either of us had been on a sailboat and it was a great experience. The Captain is an Ocracoke native and very nice. You head out of... More
