This was amazing! Would definitely do it again! The crew was awesome. They had a man singing and playing the guitar. Sunset was beautiful and even got to help lift the sails. A must do for sure!

This was quite an adventure! The weather was perfect for a sail through the bay. The crew was awesome! The entertainment was too!
This was a nice slow trip. I half expected with the breeze and the sails to go a little faster so from that I was a little let down. The trip itself at sunset was beautiful. We were lucky enough to see porpoise and seals. Overall an enjoyable experience.
Friendly crew, very crowded seating, expensive drinks on board, got to see dolphins and a seal which was awesome but somewhat overpriced for what the excursion offered.
Great crew the Captain had. The Captain was stern and kind at same time. And lots of knowledge of sailing and the area. Just like a Captain should be. The ship was clean and well maintained. Felt really safe at all times. Helping Raise Sails is unforgettable.
The 1.5-2 hour sunset cruise ended up with a 40 minute sail out which was fine. But then returned to just outside the harbor and sat still for 45 minutes watching the sunset. We could have watched the same scenery from the shore.
We had a great experience. The crew members were friendly and made sure we were all safe while watching the beautiful sunset!
It was okay but very crowded in the boat. The wait at the bar was long since they had one person working for about 100 people. Musician was okay
This was great! Staff was knowledgeable and enjoyed interacting with us!
We sailed around the harbor catching the sun going down. Entertainment made the cruise so much fun! Crew answered any questions we may have had.
We signed up for Saturday, but we were charged for Friday, and still had to sign up again for Saturday. Poor Viator booking!
The sailing was okay, but we would have appreciated some history and culture information rather than quietly circling the harbor. There were also no good vantage points for photographs of the coast! Too much money for the experience.
Tight quarters for movement around the vessel. Bring a light jacket or sweater with you. Entertainment was good.
Very enjoyable mini cruise. It can get very cold so dress accordingly (this was September 9). Crew was very knowledgeable
Crew and boat were great, but the wind didn't cooperate, so no sailing. Disappointed but understood.
Nice experience! Gives you the opportunity to see the islands around and get the potential of seeing sea life.
Very pleasant cruise. So smooth and quiet in the water. We went late August and the sun was intense but the breeze commanded a sweater. Just the right amount of time to be out. Be sure to tip the amazing crew!
Staff was so great!!!
We had a beautiful day and enjoyed the ride very much
Very informative and fun
This was a super cool experience. I was worried about feeling sick due to movement but, I barely felt it at all. We had live music and watching them raise and lower the sails was interesting. Pay attention to the weather temperature,you may need a sweatshirt. Overall great thing to do.
It's awesome just prepare for cool air and a exciting experience. Recommend sunset cruise because it is the best.
Large boat with plenty of space to sit and enjoy the sights. Very informative but strict for little kids for safety.
Professional, informative, safe LUXORIOUS! Booked the 6pm cruise lucky to have gotten the most beautiful sunset. Was skeptical at first thought I get seasick very easily and it was like I was sitting on my couch at home! The captain was precise and we felt safe the entire trip.
Staff was excellent: kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable, but still firm about safety. The cruise was the perfect amount of time for young kids - 2 hours. The staff pointed out harbor porpoises, a bald eagle, and had good information about the bay and waters we were sailing. My grandson volunteered to help pull the ropes to hoist the sail. He loved it and was quite proud to have been included. I would definitely recommend this.
Wonderful trip with a great crew. Beautiful sunset. Volunteers hoist the sails. Awesome time here…..
We were off the boat before the 1.5 hour limit even happened. I would not recommend due to lack of length.
The crew were very nice. It would have been nicer had the wind been stronger. But can’t control the wind.
We had a wonderful time and the crew was amazing would definitely recommend this to friends and family if they come visit Maine.
Great crew, Beautiful Sunset cruise. Highly recommended. Crew interacted with passengers and made it a great experience.
Had a great time. Was the highlight of our stay in Bar Harbor. Weather was perfect. Crew was top notch. Can’t say enough good about it.
We didn’t even leave the harbor! They made a big deal about putting up the sails and we did sail for 30 minutes, but barely moved and then used the motor to return. The staff on the boat were great and super friendly. They did get volunteers to help hoist the sails which was fun. Meet some nice folks on board.
We had a great time!
Beginning to end from booking to stepping on the boat we all had a positive experience
The crew were impressive the ride smooth. We got lucky seeing porpoise and seagulls chasing fish
The scenery was amazing
I booked this cruise to start off our Acadia Bar Harbor vacation. I/we had never been on a sailing vessel and it was interesting, fun and exhilarating. Highly recommend. Crew and captain top notch. The guitarist so good too
