Economical Private Cruises

Info & Menus

With today’s economic crunch, Virginia Dare is trying to keep prices suitable for all our customers — so we have designed a variety of menus with lower prices. Since these prices are as low as possible, we do not offer any group rates and we need a higher number of passengers to sail. School field trips, church groups (youth & seniors), birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions or whatever your occasion may be to get together. Enjoy your next outing aboard the “Virginia Dare” for an exciting 2 hour cruise – tax and service charges are inclusive.
We do not charge the 10% Charter Fee on these cruises.
We hope that you find a menu that will suit your needs and budget.
