This adventure was amazing! The crew were awesome, knowledgeable and very friendly and great to converse with. The boat is beautiful! Highly recommend!
Wonderful relaxing experience. Captain was very knowledgeable and the crew were so personable. A great way to be out on the water.
The crew were awesome! We had a great time. You might get splashed a bit and it is colder on the ocean.
This was the highlight of our trip, if I were local I would be taking this tour at least monthly. It was fun, informative and relaxing. The crew is outstanding knowledgeable and engaging. This is a must do experience, please do not pass it up.
Relaxing...crew was knowledgeable regarding the area and the Harbour is simply beautiful. The ship is a great piece of history
It was so neat to go out on the ocean and my son got to help raise the masts and the sale boat workers were so nice to us and accommodating!
This was the highlight of our time in Salem. Being on this historic schooner was an experience in itself but the thoroughly knowledgeable crew added to a perfect tour. The crew was very professional and personable. I cannot rate this experience highly enough!
Unfortunately after the first 10 minutes we had to head back because of lightning. I received a full refund within a half hour of getting back on dock.
The crew was friendly and helpful. The so beautiful and the weather in our favor. Definitely recommend.
Absolutely wonderful experience in the hands of a very knowledgeable crew! A brilliant two hours sailing and would recommend this to anyone. Absolutely great afternoon.
