What a great way to see Portland from the water! The crew was friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. They answered questions with enthusiasm when asked by guests. The ride was smooth and beautiful! We enjoyed seeing Portland Head Light from the water, as well as wildlife, such as seals and porpoises that came really close to our boat as we sailed. We had a great time and highly recommend this activity!
Can be very windy and cooler ever if it's hot on land, great captain Dave and great crew! Don't forget to BYOB!
Very enjoyable ride with a skilled and knowledgeable crew. Would highly recommend sailing with them.
The amount of time was perfect. Lots to look at, lots to experience. The captain was knowledgeable and fun. We were racing another ship to keep things exciting for the crew as well!
It was really nice weather and the staff was great, but the boat was a little crowded. If there were maybe 10 less people it would have been 5 stars!
It’s a full boat. Hardly any room for moving or setting up a picnic. The staff were awesome. Beautiful sailing. Only wish we had less people on board.
Beautiful. Saw some seals. Very interesting watching them work the sails going out and returning. Great crew
Such a great experience! We would go again in a heartbeat. The crew were all exceptional, knowledgeable about the area and so kind. We saw a seal and were told they often see other sea life but due to the heat wave they were not seeing as many. It was so relaxing and beautiful to get out on the harbor.
Beautiful boat ride. Great experience! The views were wonderful. Enjoyed the sailing experience, great photo opportunities.
In July is pretty darn hot. Not a whole lot of relief, even if you're out on the Bay or the ocean. So if you're doing a summer cruise, come prepared. That being said, it was a wonderful relaxing couple of hours out on the ocean. It's a great way to wind down the day.
