Beautiful Night in Boothbay! - Christina and Josh were great. Both were energetic which made the sail even more enjoyable. Their interaction while working together was entertaining and lighthearted. Would love to come back! Thanks for a great night!

An enjoyable experience with excellent views - 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.

Super relaxing and beautiful! - Great 2 hour sunset sail. Beautiful day and Captain Josh and first mate Merson were both terrific. Definitely worth the spend and a great way to see Booth Bay Harbor and surrounding islands from the sea.

Pleasant evening on the water… - Very enjoyable couple of hours spent on a beautiful old sailing ship off Boothbay Harbour. Crew were professional and very pleasant, taking time to move and chat among the different patrons on board. Scenery was quite beautiful whilst the sun went down. There wasn’t as much physical activity in hoisting the sails as hoped - think this was down to it being TOO windy. With passenger safety paramount I think the skipper limited this activity, conditions weren’t that choppy and there was no issues moving around the vessel whilst underway. Might be a little boring for youngsters but sometimes it’s just nice to sit back and enjoy the scenery 😀👍

Live life! - Capt. Josh, Brian and Christina were like being out with family. Sunset Eastwind on June 5th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm was great. The love and respect for history of boats, nature and way of life is clear when you really meet the crew. Don't pass up the chance to go out with them and always keep asking questions! They are great at telling what they know and have experienced and are young and still seeking their own answers. We wish them all the best in their journeys.

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.

Sunset Sailboat Trip - As part of a 25th wedding anniversary trip to Maine, the sunset trip was an awesome highlight. The crew was pleasant and answered a ton of questions about the area, the lobster industry and sailing. The ship was clean and felt safe.

Be aware! - 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.
