Beautiful & authentic sailing experience
Loved this experience. Beautiful classic sloop sailed by expert captain & crew for a truly beautiful ride. Come dressed for all weathers though, it's changeable out there in the bay! Even on an overcast night the views of Boston skyline on the ride back made for some stunning photo souvenirs. Thank you to Anna, Charlie and crew from Amanda, Nick & Kelsey, UK.

What a great experience!
I booked this at the last minute and was so glad I did. The crew was great, kind and knowledgeable. The weather was perfect and the view from the boat was extraordinary at sunset. It was so nice to be with a small group of people rather than a large boat.
