Great Fun in Light Winds - What a wonderful crew and boat. Mother Nature was not very cooperative with a supply of wind but the crew and the view made up for it!
Great conversations with those passengers we met during the cruise! One family had brought a couple of pizzas on board and that appeared to be a good idea!

Enjoyable cruise around the bay - Took a sunset cruise and had a great time. It helped the weather was beautiful, but the ship was comfortable, crew was very friendly and the scenery was fantastic. It wasn't adventure on the high seas, which was fine, since I get seasick. Instead was an incrediblely smooth trip that my whole family enjoyed.

Fun on the windjammer at Bar Harbor! - Appreciated the information about Bar Harbor from our Captain and it was fun to be part of raising the sails. The opportunity to purchase a beverage was an added benefit!

Delightful ! - A lovely way to spend a few hours on the water on a warm summer day.
The ship is beautiful with the red sails up. Fun to lend a hand ( nor needed at all) hoisting the sails and the young summer job crew is adorable.

Relaxing sunset cruise - Relaxing sunset cruise through the bay along the islands. Nothing can beat the wind in your face and the sea underneath. This was such a relaxing cruise at sunset.

Beautiful day on a boat - We had a lovely trip in beautiful blue skies (if a bit chilly). The crew was very friendly, and the captain was knowledgeable and pointed out a bald eagle! Very enjoyable overall!

Bad weather - They were honest enough to cancel our trip due to bad weather and give us a refund because we could not book another day. Will book with them next time we go.

Save your money!!! - The captain took us out about a mile away from the shore and let us float in the bay. We were basically “dead in the water” for an hour then sailed back to the dock. NOT worth the money at all! All we saw was 100 lobster traps floating around. They didn’t even take us around the islands.
