    We had the most amazing sunset cruise aboard Pisces with Captain Clay! As locals, we absolutely loved getting out on the water and seeing the area we love from a different perspective. The sunset was beautiful, the water was peaceful, and the whole experience was incredibly relaxing and special. Captain Clay is such a wonderful captain and host. He has so much local knowledge and was happy to share it along the way, which made the experience even more enjoyable. He was also incredibly welcoming and accommodating to our older family members, making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. It truly felt like one of those evenings you wish you could bottle up and keep. We laughed, relaxed, enjoyed the beautiful Rappahannock River sunset, and made some really special memories together. We couldn’t recommend Captain Clay and Pisces more highly. We absolutely loved every minute!
