We thoroughly enjoyed our time aboard Pisces with Clay! My husband and I took a 4 day/3 night live-aboard course (ASA 104/114) with Sail & Surf Adventures and could not have been more pleased. The accommodations (including a comfortable berth and private head) and meal provisions were more than adequate. Clay is a fantastic teacher who was able to adjust and adapt his instructional skills to meet us where we were at, providing the best opportunity for us to achieve our goals of becoming competent blue water cruisers. We were able to practice docking and anchoring skills while visiting quaint and cozy marina towns in the river deltas of the Chesapeake. I HIGHLY recommend a live-aboard and LEARN-aboard charter with Clay and Sail & Surf Adventures!
