INTERACTIVE GUIDE TO SPIRIT OF INDEPENDENCE

Free Day and Evening Cruises, see below for details.

 When visiting the Tidewater area of Virginia plan to stay aboard the yacht Spirit Of Independence with easy access to all of Hampton Roads, the Outer Banks, Busch Gardens and Virginia Beach.  Bunk and Breakfast include free day and evening cruises for as long as you’re a guest aboard.  Bring that favorite book!  This is how it works.  You will be met on the dock at the arranged boarding time by a crew member.  Your luggage will be carried aboard and placed in your stateroom.  Take some time to arrange your things.  Soon after you arrive you will be given a short orientation so that you can get to know the boat.  You of course are given the key to your cabin.  Spirit will make her scheduled cruises, which you may participate in as our VIP guest at no charge, or you may take as much shore time as you wish to see the local sites.  There is ferry service within steps that will take you across the river to Norfolk.  If you need ground transportation and if you would like us to, we can make any arrangements, including limo service that suits your wishes. We have presented a number of links and information below of service providers if you would like to make your own arrangements.

Note:  Special event weekends like Harborfest book fast so make your plans early.

To book reservations for our Bunk & Breakfast package be sure to call us at 757-971-1865.
