The world’s best sailing is on the Chesapeake Bay. With its rich maritime history, picture-postcard towns and endless coves, creeks and anchorages, there are few places on Earth that are as easy and fantastic to sail as the Chesapeake Bay. Grab the wheel and set course to any of the many bayside destinations. When you get there drop anchor and enjoy the tranquility of the sound of lapping waves against the hull as you relax and soak in the natural beauty that surrounds you. Veritas is the #1 choice for your Chesapeake Bay sailboat rental!

A few popular destinations worth visiting if you’re wanting to head north or south are Fleet’s Bay, Little Bay, Great Wicomoco River Area and Mobjack Bay. If you set sail eastbound, across the bay, you will find  nostalgic and inviting towns such as Onancock and Cape Charles. Tangier Island is a little island to the northwest right in the middle of the bay know as the “disappearing island” due to the loss of 67%  of the island’s landmass.

Perhaps it’s not the destination that has you chartering the Veritas, but the occasion. A sailboat charter is a unique setting for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to propose to that special someone. How about celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or any other unforgettable special event.

FAQs - before you come!

What if the weather looks bad? We do our best to watch the weather, but mother nature often has the last word when it comes to sailing. Cancellations due to weather can occur at any time before or even during your sail. Your safety on the water is our #1 concern, and we will let you know if the weather looks unsafe. The school may cancel reservation at any time due to inclement weather, wind, unacceptable activity, or any other reason deemed permissible by Northern Virginia Sailing School. If the weather is forecast as a small craft advisory or worse, management will determine if your rental or lesson will be postponed or rescheduled.  If you need to cancel or reschedule, you may do so prior to 24 hours before the class, otherwise there is a $35 cancelation fee. Certification must be completed in 2024 sailing season.  A link to cancel or reschedule was included in your confirmation email. What should I bring with me? Please bring your sunscreen, hats, and lots of water! Wear boat shoes or light-colored rubber-soled shoes.  Please check the weather before you come and email us at [email protected] if you are unsure. The weather on the water can be 10 degrees warmer on hot days with no wind and can be 10 degrees cooler on windy, wet, or overcast days. Pack accordingly to make your experience a positive one. Are private classes available? Yes!  Private classes are available and you must schedule them directly by phone or email (not on our booking portal). Can I bring a friend/child on the boat with me? If you are renting the boat or on a captained cruise, you may bring 3 guests with you (perhaps 1-2 more if there are kids, depending on their size.  Email us ahead of time to check if you are unsure).  All classes and cruises must can only have students onboard.  If your significant other or friend is interested in sailing, but you are unsure if you want to sign them up, email us to see if there is room aboard for them to accompany the lesson as a try sail ($100, plus merchant fee). What is your cancellation policy? Hey it happens - we get it.  There are two types of cancellations - the ones you need to make and the ones we need to make due to weather.  Reservation changes that you make must be made 24 hours in advance of the reservation or a cancellation fee may be charged. It's easy - you can do it conveniently online on our booking portal or by clicking the link on your email confirmation and clicking cancel.  The school may cancel reservation at any time due to inclement weather, wind, unacceptable activity, or any other reason deemed permissible by Northern Virginia Sailing School. If you need to cancel or reschedule, you may do so prior to 24 hours before the class, otherwise there is a $35 cancelation fee. Certification must be completed in 2024 sailing season.  A link to cancel or reschedule was included in your confirmation email. Can I bring food or drinks? We only ask that you do not bring anything that will stain white boats (red wine, grape juice, etc.).  And whatever you carry in, carry out with you when you leave. How do I get into the park? We are located inside Leesylvania State Park at 2001 Daniel K Ludwig Dr, Woodbridge, VA 22192. PLEASE TELL the contact station you are headed to the sailing school! Be prepared to show your confirmation email. Even if the park is closed due to capacity, you are able to enter after talking to them at the entrance. After entering the park, go under the bridge and look for the large parking lot with the Breakwater Store in the center. We are by the water, to the left of the Breakwater Store when facing the river. How old do you have to be to sail? If you can walk, you can sail.  We are only able to give ASA certifications to sailors 16 years of age or older.  We do allow children 5 years and older to come on captained cruises, assuming the weather is favorable. A personal floating device (PFDs) must be provided, properly fitted, and worn at all times for all minors. PFDs for children below 5 years of age please purchase and bring with you - we do not carry these.

I started my classes but do not want to finish, can I get a refund? If you are unsure if sailing certification is for you, please book a Try Sail class to try it first. None of our ASA certification courses are refundable once you begin your classes. Teaching certification classes is expensive and our class materials and resources are invested in your success. We also require that you complete all courses prior to the end of the season (end of October). Can I finish up my certification next year?

We recommend scheduling your classes without any large gaps to get the most out of your purchase. Our certification courses should really be completed in the season they are begun. We handle these on a case by case basis.  If you find you are in this position, please email us to see what your options are for sign-ups in the following season.

For captained charter, the Captain will make the decision if the weather conditions are dangerous to get out on the water. Cloudy skies or a slight chance of rain are not grounds for cancellation or rescheduling. If a cancellation or rescheduling due to bad weather is necessary, either the Renter or the Boat Owner must send an email to [email protected] stating the reason. If the Renter sends such a request, the email must include a written confirmation from the Boat Owner. Read more details here .

Because we love the ocean

• Don’t litter or throw waste overboard - take rubbish home and dispose of it responsibly
• Eco-friendly sunblock can help prevent damage to marine life
• buy local and sustainable food products

However long you’re sailing for, a little goes a long way. Read more about responsible boating.

absolute must to do. Our family of 5 went out for a wonderful time on the Duffy. Beautiful sunset was seen! Boat was easy to drive and well equipped and comfortable. Susan was so wonderful and helpful. I would recommend this fun time to anyone!

My family and I had an excellent experience with VB Boat Rentals! We rented the pontoon boat for the evening and had a great time cruising up the canal and visiting the sandbar. VB Boat Rentals gave us an excellent captain's safety briefing and were very friendly, and professional.

We had such a great time on the pontoon boats. Everything was clean and ran very well. The area was beautiful to explore by boat, especially the Narrows. The company was very flexible with us when we rescheduled because of rain. I highly recommend them.

I set this up for my husbands birthday...such a great time! Susan and the staff of VB Boat Rentals were very accommodating and super casual. They even extended our time when we couldn't get started on time because of some late members of our party. We will definitely use this company again!!

We had a fantastic time with the family on our dinner cruise. The boat was very comfortable and well equipped. The kids were easy to manage on board this style boat.

Recent reviews in virginia beach.

The boat was lovely, spacious with lots of seating, great speaker system. The process of booking was seamless. Hunter was a great captain, super attentive, helped with all aspects of the trip and I would highly recommend him to others.

I recently rented a boat for my birthday, and the experience on the water was absolutely fantastic. The boat ride was amazing, providing a fun and memorable day for me and my friends. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the smooth sailing, which made for a perfect celebration. Captain Dreux (Drew) was a complete vibe! He was friendly, and made us feel very welcomed. Would absolutely recommend requesting him as your captain!

My family and I had such a great time! Ameen made it comfortable and safe for me and our 2 teen boys. Teens can be hard to please but they are both excited to boat with ameen again. This is an excursion that you can mold to fit your style and it well worth it. Thanks guys!!!

From the moment I booked there was an open line of communication with Damani. When we arrived he and Frank gave us nothing but top tier hospitality! They made sure we were comfortable the entire trip and we had an amazing time!!

A truly exceptional experience. Great boat, great captain. You cannot ask for more when it comes to a great Getmyboat experience.

Great time everytime will rent this boat everytime I go out. Hassle free, all ways communicate in timely manner great boat all around will definitely rent again

Holliday Lake State Park beach closed due to algae bloom

by Rachel Tillapaugh

APPOMATTOX COUNTY, Va. (WSET) — The beach at Holliday Lake State Park is closed, along with boat rentals, due to an algae bloom.

Bryce Wilk, the central district manager with Virginia State Parks, said the beach, at Holliday Lake would normally be pretty busy this time of year.

“There certainly is an impact with the visitation. Generally in the summer, and this has been a very hot and no rainy summer. Despite what we are seeing right now, and on a typical weekend a Saturday or Sunday, you would see this entire parking lot full of visitors," Wilk said.

The algae has bits of green or blue that floats on the surface of the water.

While certain kinds of algae won't hurt you, others can make you sick inside and out.

To keep folks safe, staff closed the park this past Sunday.

Wilk said it's taking a chunk out of their budget.

"When we implemented the closure on Sunday, it had an immediate impact. So, that does reduce our revenue when it comes to a parking fee that we assess, snack bar, and boat rental operations," Wilk said.

Folks are still allowed to go boating or fishing at the state park.

Wilk said they are still waiting for the tests to come back to confirm whether this algae is harmful or not.

He has no idea when they will reopen their services.. right now it's just a waiting game to see if it's safe.

If you have come into contact with water that has a harmful algal bloom, Wilk said symptoms can vary from red skin irritation to gastrointestinal issues.

State Park officials said it is safe to eat fish caught here.
