Wonderful, peaceful, and fun experience. It was so nice to get out on the water at sunset in a quiet way. The crew was great, the weather was perfect and the sunset was stunning.

    10 out of 10 experience! The captain and his mates were helpful and friendly. The schooner was clean, beautiful and well maintained. We went along the coastline and enjoyed some beautiful weather and views. They had refreshments (at a cost) and a restroom on board.

    Very fun! They had a cash bar and an added bonus was that they had blankets on board in case you got cold. Would definitely recommend!

    Be aware!

    Libby_H, Jun 2025
    Be aware! Our experience was cancelled due to weather which is completely understandable. What is UNACCEPTABLE is that we were not notified in ANY way so we drove 4 hours for NOTHING. The attendant MJ, was just plain nasty. We arrived 15 minutes early and she spoke to us like we were idiots for not knowing it was cancelled. When I asked why we weren't notified she said, "I have 27 people to call". It was 10 minutes before departure time. We left disappointed.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're truly sorry for the frustration and inconvenience caused. While weather-related cancellations are sometimes unavoidable, the lack of communication you experienced is absolutely not the standard we strive for, and we understand how upsetting it must have been to make such a long trip only to be turned away. However, I should note that we do not make these decision 4 hours in advance as the weather in Maine changes often. You should have received a text and phone call at least an hour in advance. I guess in this case that did not happen. Your interaction with our staff member, MJ, is also very concerning. Everyone deserves to be treated with courtesy and respect, especially in disappointing circumstances. We are addressing this internally and will ensure appropriate follow-up. We take your feedback seriously and are reviewing our notification process to prevent similar situations in the future. Again thank you for your feedback and please except our apologies.

    Quintessential Maine Experience

    This was one of our favorite experiences from the trip. We took the first sail of the season and while it was still cloudy, it was a great experience! Josh and Luke made the trip fun and interactive for the small group on the boat. We saw a lighthouse, the smaller islands, and seals. It was so quiet and peaceful out on the water.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Thank you so much for joining us on our first sail of the season — and for your kind words! ⛵️ Even with the clouds, we’re so glad to hear it was a memorable experience. Josh and Luke will be thrilled to know they helped make the trip fun and interactive for your group. We hope to welcome you aboard again soon under sunnier skies!

    Sunset Cruise

    Weather and sunset was gorgeous. The only thing that I wish they would add to the cruise is narrating your whereabouts a little bit. Throughout the cruise, you could hear people saying now where do you think that is over there?

    Capt Kate was great. Eager to fix any issue as they occurred with the head. First mate Meghan took drink ordered and hoisted the sails.

    No Go

    KenHinkley_H, Jul 2024
    Our cruise was canceled with no notice or reason. We waited for almost four hours, expecting a wonderful experience. What a disappointment.
