Great crew of folks that love sharing the joy of being on the water. I learned to sail at Soundside with their J22 and have since been confidently sailing around the Wrightsville area. This would definitely be a highlight if you are visiting WB and also worth checking out if you are a local so you too can discover a whole new way to experience our coastal waters.

Definitely a highlight at Wrightsville! I learned to sail confidently at their weekend class and have had the opportunity to sail their small crafts on Banks Channel. Very responsive staff who truly seem to love their jobs and the opportunity to share it with others.

Very enjoyable experience for pretty good value, I thought. Facilities and equipment are in very good shape, even at the end of the season. Lots and lots of choices of boats and activities. Staff is cheerful, knowledgeable and eager to help and teach. Excellent location with nice docks and wide beach on relatively sheltered waters. Worked very, very well for our expert and novice pair of sailors.

We had an incredible experience kayaking at Sound Side Adventures! The staff were exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, helping us choose the best time to head out for our adventure. The kayaks and equipment were in excellent condition, and we were particularly impressed with the cool life jackets they provided for the kids. A special shoutout to Amy, who was a tremendous help in planning our route. She was super kind and patient, especially with the kids, ensuring they felt comfortable and excited for the trip. Her guidance made our experience smooth and enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic outing, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommend Sound Side Adventures for a memorable kayaking experience!

Jason and Luke were awesome. Jason was an incredible captain who made the experience memorable. He was friendly and excellent with our two kids, and who had never been on a sailboat.

Captain Jason’s sailing class was a life-changing experience! His knowledge, patience, kindness, and sense of humor made sailing accessible and enjoyable, and I’m looking forward to continuing my sailing journey. Treat yourself by enrolling in a class with captain Jason immediately, and discover the joy of sailing for yourself.

I had adventure sailing and U.S. Sailing certified with soundside. I want to give a 5-star because I had great experiences with both of them. They have excellent instructors who are super experienced with sailing. I kept so many key notes from learning from them which you probably won't learn from the textbook, or at least not from just reading one book. At first I thought "Oh it is just physics and how hard can it be?" but it is not that simple! There are so many "fine-tune" and knowledge from experiences you need to learn and the instructors are offering a very high density of knowledge to you so make sure you take notes. We went to the ocean which was just super awesome! We saw playful dolphins too. Overall I think they are a cool crew and they are chill people but also professional. You won't regret to go with them.
