Must do! - What a wonderful sail! We sailed to two lighthouses! It was so relaxing. We will go again next year.

Private, lovely, fun and very reasonable. - It was our anniversary, and we wanted to do something special without totally breaking the bank and without a bunch of other people. This was lovely, our own private sail on a big old romantic sailboat. The captain and crew member were perfect, chatting with us when we wanted to be chatting, and leaving us on our own otherwise. We booked a 2 hour cruise for the sunset with plans to go out to dinner afterwards, but when we found out there were fireworks we were able to extend our sail to watch them. The captain did a fantastic job of maneuvering so that we had a wonderful view while we lounged on big comfortable bean bag chairs. The crew member brought us beautiful charcuterie boards and flat breads and kept our wine glasses full. The boat was easy to get on and off of and the little launch that brought us back and forth was pleasant. If you want a private "get away" I can't recommend these folks enough.

extremely professional, attentive, and friendly - Captain and crew are extremely professional, attentive, and friendly. The cooking and hospitality are top class. At 60 feet, Tandemeer is one of the largest sailboats I have been on.

Decent Sailboat Ride - This is more like a 3.5 stars/5. I would describe this as an "ok" "decent" "fine" sailboat ride. We sailed in a very small area (which was mentioned in the description) and we never really picked up speed. It was a simply average. Nothing wrong with the captain or staff or boat - they were lovely but just kinda felt like we were floating along the sound rather than sailing.

TripAdvisor Terrible - Trip was fantastic. Interaction with TripAdvisor was terrible. TripAdvisor did not coordinate with vendor. I booked with TripAdvisor on one date but told by vendor, it was not availble. Changed booking but word never got to TripAdvisor even though I tried contacting them. They billed me on the original date and deluged me with spam email. WTF.
