Romantic Sailboat Experience by Seafood Restaurant

We can't adequately describe how romantic & carefree it feels to step aboard our sail boat. After a wonderful meal at the marina seafood restaurant our guests love to snuggle up together on deck and watch the sunset turn the sky pink & purple with a glass of bubbly. The marina atmosphere is simply magical & you'll love sleeping to the gentle sway of calm waters. Come enjoy a night aboard this amazingly cozy & romantic sail boat. Convenient to Norfolk & Virginia Beach, the location is prime!
