BOOK WITH EARNING STRIPES
2 Hr – Sunset/Booze Cruise on May 25, 20263 adults

Captain Greg absolutely exceeded our expectations in every way! We booked the sunset/booze cruise and noticied our date the weather would be bad. Captain Greg moved around his schedule for us to make sure we could have the sunset. When we arrived we immediately noticed how clean modern and updated his boat was. He even had a table with coasters set up for us PLUS a bottle of champagne and champagne glasses! He let us play any music we wanted using his phone and we saw dolphins TWICE! The sunset was unreal, he invited us up top to the bridge which made it even better. We will absolutely be returning and I highly recommend EVERYONE book for a charter or a cruise on Earning Stripes! This made our entire trip, we were celebrating for our friends upcoming wedding.

2 Hr – Sunset/Booze Cruise on July 24, 20262 adults

My wife and I were in Cape Charles to celebrate our 23rd anniversary abd we decided to book a Sunset Cruise with Earning Stripes. The boat was clean and well kept. Captain Chad and his nephew took great care of us! They allowed us to connect my phone to the on board stereo system so that we could cruise to our favorite tunes! The trip was great! Would absolutely book with them again!! Thanks for a wonderful experience!!
