About Us
Sailing is a recreational activity that puts people in harmony with
nature and creates an exhilarating and challenging experience.
Worries are put aside as one enters the world of wind and water.
We want to share this priority--sailing-- with others.
We're in business for fun.
We're a "mom and pop" company, run by Captains Dave
and Carolyn Pryor.
David Pryor has been an avid sailor since he was six years old. He has taught many boating courses and
has competitively sailed in local and long distance yacht races. Dave is a licensed clinical psychologist
and also is a psychoanalyst. He is an outstanding listener and teacher who can help people communicate
well and work together as a team.

Carolyn Pryor has been sailing with Dave for 41 years. She is a certified instructor with the American
Sailing Association and a marine educator. Carolyn has skippered and crewed with all-women’s teams.
She was formerly a social work professor and currently works part time as a lecturer and clinical social
worker. She can help people of all ages feel comfortable on the boat.
Priority Sailing
We've been providing charters in North Carolina since 2001.
We both are licensed captains through the US Coast Guard
and have achieved Senior Navigator status with the United
States Power Squadrons. We provide programs on boating
safety and sailing to community groups.
