Sunset cruise in Boothbay! - Amazing sunset cruise on Schooner Eastwind!Captain Dave and his first mate were wonderful! Captain Dave was very good at explaining what we were doing, seeing and where we were going. They encouraged us to help put the sails up and talked about sailing in general. We would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Boothbay Harbor!

Great Crew, Great Views - Great crew…great views. Dan made great drinks and gave lots of relevant information about the area. Weather didn’t cooperate, but that wasn’t their fault.

An amazing sunset. - The staff and captain were amazing. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. The scenery was beautiful, wonderful sunset. I recommend taking the trip. They do have alcohol products for sale on the boat. We went later in the season, so it got cold at sunset. Needed a jacket, but the staff had blankets for us to use.

Beautiful views and smooth sailing - My husband and I had a wonderful time on the Eastwind Schooner sunset cruise. The crew and captain were awesome. The captain was so knowledgeable about history. He also was very experienced and explained some things about sailing to us! More information than I could have imagined. So interesting and entertaining. The drinks were a good addition to the cruise. The crew was very friendly and helpful. We even got blankets since it was chilly. A great experience in every way!

No Go - Our cruise was canceled with no notice or reason. We waited for almost four hours, expecting a wonderful experience. What a disappointment.
