I took the tour with my partner- it was a wonderful experience to enjoy a cruise around the harbor and learn about the history of the area. Our captains were friendly, knowledgeable and great storytellers- not just reciting facts. Also a good value, especially considering the small group size. The meeting spot was easy to find, the sailboat was safe, clean and comfortable, stocked with cold drinks and had a bathroom (we didn’t use it but good to know it was there). I highly recommend this trip to anyone.

Absolutely Wonderful!!!
We chose (as it turned out) the best day for sailing!
Everyone we met at the on boarding facility were so polite and professional! The Captain, her helper and the tour guide were spectacular and were experts for the knowledge they bought to our history tour!
We will be booking again!

This was an amazing excursion! The schooner and the crew were very professional and knowledgeable. I learned so many unique things about Baltimore. It really gave me a desire to learn even more.
The weather was amazing and the experience was very personal, with a small group.
I would definitely recommend this tour if you would like to see the harbor and learn about Baltimore!

Need to show sites on both sides. All references were off the right side we sat on the left. Our seats were
Fine. The sights he talked about were on the other side so I could only see them under the sail

Super friendly and knowledgeable crew. A very low-key and relaxing tour of the harbor. The app wants me to say more… go for it!!
Todd_H, Jul 2021
I loved the boat and the captain had vast knowledge of the harbor. The only negative thing was I was seated on the left side of the boat and most of the narrative was directed at the right side points of interest. With the sail up I couldn't see the points ge was talking about.

We loved the experience. The host was an awesome narrator and was very knowledgeable when answering questions..
Jennifer_C, Jul 2020
We enjoyed the tour very much. The staff went out of their way to keep us comfortable- it was like 100 degrees that day- and provided unlimited cool drinks and ice packs. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and had many interesting stories and observations, both historical and current. I appreciated that they occasionally told anecdotes based on the interests and questions of the passengers. Also provided spot-on dining recommendations.

Very nice crew. Fun boat. The cruise stays only within the inner harbor with a focus on the buildings in the inner harbor and the last 30 minutes was talking about the Domino sugar plant and the ship that delivers sugar. There was only a little discussion on the War of 1812. It was a hot day with very little wind.

Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the surrounding area, landmarks, and history. The 1.5-hour trip was a nice length. It was a hot day, but they provided free cold beverages - a nice touch!
