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 had a fabulous time on the Appledoorc sunsets cruise. Captain Pablo was very friendly and informative during our sail.

Unfortunately our sail was cancelled due to weather, but I was impressed that I received a call directly from Windjammer to inform me of the decision to cancel the sunset trip. They assured me they would refund the 3rd party I booked through within a few hours, and said if that company delayed my refund that they would help to work it out. Great customer service in a situation beyond their control. The kind of company I like to work with!
Response from Host, Aug 2026

This was a more last-minute excursion. And so glad we did and worth the money. I had two kids and a baby and we all really enjoyed the sail. The kids were able to drive the boat and help put up the sails. It was a very fun experience and would do it again. Plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and water. Great place for sunset pictures. The staff was very friendly and answered many of our questions.
Response from Host, Jun 2026

We’re so glad you decided to join us, even as a last-minute adventure, and that it turned out to be such a highlight for your family! It’s especially rewarding to hear that your kids enjoyed taking the helm and helping raise the sails—those hands-on moments often become favorite memories.
We’re happy your whole family, including your little one, had a great time relaxing, taking in the scenery, and capturing beautiful sunset photos. Our crew will also appreciate your kind words about their friendliness and willingness to answer questions.

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!
