My fiancé and I had an exceptional time aboard this sailing ship. I would highly recommend this experience to people who love being out on the water. The beauty lives up to expectations and you won’t regret it. The staff were exceptionally trained and personable. The drinks were very moderately priced and the experience was top notch.

We sailed October 1 , so it was chili. That provided blankets , which was very thoughtful. The crew talked to everyone. They captain even sang old songs about the sea. Would take this cruise again😊
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for sailing with us — even on a chili October day! 🥶😉 We’re glad the blankets (and the sea shanties!) helped keep things cozy. Captain’s always happy to share a tune or two — it keeps the wind in his sails! We’d love to have you back aboard anytime for another adventure (hopefully a bit warmer next time!).

It was a perfect late afternoon for a cruise. The schooner was well maintained, the crew was terrific, beautiful sailing and I liked the audience participation! I only wish the captain had a microphone as he was on the other end of the vessel so hard to hear. Great experience and great price!

I have had extreme difficulty with the Viator app and tried to cancel this tour that was made in error of the wrong date due to the difficulty of the app. I also called the provider and left a message the day before I needed to cancel and reschedule but I did not receive a return call as promised.
Aimee_W, Sep 2025
The captain and deck hands are fabulous, I would definitely do this again! The drinks were great! Will recommend to friends.

Captain Sean, annd Andy & Mary were great sailors and hosts on the Appledore, today. We enjoyed the history that Andy shared and it was fun to watch raising and lowering the sails. Overall a great experience and a beautiful sunset.

Attentive service. Great boat. Tips: use bathroom before leaving, there is a bathroom but of course it’s below deck! Get there early for the best side seats.

Maybe introduce light music or radio system. For a group that was relatively middle aged felt like we all were in retirement. Staff was very pleasant but could definitely add more energy to make the overall experience more enjoyable. And wish there was more opportunity to move around and take pictures. The trip was too overcrowded.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback. We’re glad to hear the staff was pleasant, and we truly appreciate your suggestions about adding light music, more energy, and opportunities to move around for photos. We’ll take this into consideration to help make future sails more enjoyable for all guests. Your input helps us continue improving the experience!

Beautiful! Sail travel is so tranquil and mesmerizing even with a group of strangers. Highly recommend. Even the crew were engaging and personable.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
We couldn’t agree more — there’s just something magical about strangers turning into shipmates under a set of sails✨⛵️
So happy the tranquility (and our charming crew!) cast their spell on you. Thanks for the high praise — we’ll keep the breeze gentle and the vibes peaceful for your next visit aboard!

Wonderful Sail and crew...sunset was gorgeous!!!! Worth the trip☺️
Wish we could here the captain better-maybe a headset with speaker system would allow us to hear his stories and tales along the way.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
We’re thrilled you enjoyed the gorgeous sunset and wonderful crew—it truly is worth the trip! Thanks for the great suggestion about the headset system; we’ll see if we can tune in to that idea and turn up the volume on the captain’s stories next time. Until then, we promise plenty of amazing tales and sunsets to come!

This schooner trip was the highlight of our time in Maine! We came expecting pretty views, but we learned a lot and met new people. It was such a wonderful tour and a unique experience. 10/10 would recommend!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
A 10/10? You just made our day—thank you! We love that you came for the pretty views and left with new friends and fun facts (bonus points if you remember any of them). So glad the schooner was the highlight of your Maine adventure—we think she’s pretty special too. Come back anytime… we’ll save you a spot on deck and maybe even a sea breeze or two!

It was dense fog and could not see anything, they should have cancelled it. Crew was friendly and accommodating, providing blankets for warmth.

A beautiful evening experience. Sailing in the bay on an 86 foot sail boat was memorable. Skipper Joel and mates Mary and Andy were capable and fun. A beautiful evening.
