Must do activity!

Outstanding captain and crew! Go!
FoodieRa, Aug 2025
What an outstanding captain and crew! We went on a sunset cruise and it was our first time on a sailboat. The captain gave very clear directions before we set sale with respect to safety, and I was highly appreciative as I had no idea what I was doing. The two crew members were absolutely phenomenal and took care of all of us. What I really liked is how they took the time to speak to each and every individual to get to know us and they were very knowledgeable, kind, and friendly. I highly recommendthis trip as they restored a 1930 yacht and it was quite a memorable experience. I’m definitely going back!
Excellent atmosphere. ...
Faith_H, Aug 2025
Excellent atmosphere. The staff was amazing. I brought a 69 year old man and they couldn't have been any nicer. They not only explained everything about the ship but allowed him to raise the sails and even steer the ship..... it was Excellent and Iook forward to doing again witht a bigger group for friends... Thank you......
Fun evening excursion for the whole family
Michael_Z, Jul 2025
This was a fun sailing experience and 2 hours was the right amount of time for an excursion at the end of a long tourist vacation day. The sunset view from the boat was really beautiful. The crew was fun and it was a nice touch allowing guests to raise the 4 sails. My daughter and I raised one together and she thought it was awesome.
