It was an incredible experience. The crew was awesome.
Beautiful sail through Salem Sound. The crew was lovely and made the experience wonderful.
What a beautiful ship and amazing crew! My sister and two nephews had such a wonderful afternoon aboard. The youngest (9) was especially obsessed with going below deck to use the latrine, while the eldest (14) took many photos and videos. We had a wonderful time. Salem harbor is such a gem.
Our sunset cruise with Captain Chelsea, PJ, and Alpha was a perfect conclusion to our Salem adventure. They know their craft well and created an enjoyable and safe trip for all. Having the opportunity to sail on a vintage schooner like Malabar X was a unique and truly special experience- Fair winds, Sunset Sail Salem Team!
Three of us went and had a beautiful day on the water!
Had a great morning sail aboard When and If. I've sailed with them before and it's always a great experience. Captain and crew are cordial and competent. Historic vessel with an interesting history.
We absolutely loved this trip, it is a wonderful experience for visitors to the city of Salem. The ship is beautiful and the captain and crew were excellent. Highly recommend, good value for the money!
The crew was excellent and Seth our captain was amazing with my nieces they keep talking about how cool he was. It was the highlight of there trip. Barbara and JP made amazing drinks and manning the boat . Well worth the money and your time on vacation. Would definitely do it again.
Gorgeous historic boat out for a sunset sail with drinks in a lovely harbor. You really shouldn’t make people type a minimum that’s lame I almost cancelled the review but it really was a good sail
Amazing experience!! Captain Seth and the crew were wonderful!! The views were breathtaking!!! I highly recommend this cruise!
