Absolutely amazing experience and beautiful sunset - 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!

Wonderful Experience - It was fun to watch the crew bringing up the masts and engaging the tourists. The scenery was gorgeous. There were lots of buoys to mark the lobster traps which the Captain was skilled at maneuvering around. Recommend bringing a jacket, maybe more than a windbreaker.

Great experience - Great experience, but there should be 2 bartenders. There were long lines. All staff were friendly and interacted well with everyone.

Nice night and sunset sail - Captain sailed even though we questioned the weather, and it turned out to be a nice night, although little wind. Sunset was great. Penelope, the First Mate did a great job at the front of the sailboat!

I am looking - I am looking forward to sailing in Maine! It will be 1.5–2 hours on the water with a licensed captain — a great way to enjoy the ocean and the beauty of the coast.
