Smiths in Maine - Music and meeting new people were the most memorable. The boat was fun. Having volunteered to help raise the sail.

Boat adventure in Bay Harbor - Awesome views of the bay and was able to assist with the roping/ block and tackle of the sails! The crew was professional and courteous to everyone aboard.

Bar Harbor Sailing Adventure - Raising the sails. Glad to feel the wind in the sails. It was smooth sailing all the way. Crew very capable and safety conscious.

Nice sailing trip - Nice ride. I interesting to watch the crew man, the sails, etc. Sunny day, but it definitely gets cool out on the water so make sure you bring sweatshirts, with the Hood is good too

Too short, not as sold to us - It was a 1 hour and 20 minute tour. Not 2 hours. There was not a good selection of drinks for nonalcoholic: no sparkling water. Also, the tour director fussed at us for arriving 24 minutes before departure.

Just okay. - Enjoyed watching the never-ending cloud forming over one island. I was disappointed that the boat didn’t go further out of the bay. The crew never interacted with the guests like we have experienced on other boat tours. Hard to hear the tour guide. Found the whole trip a bit boring.

Worst experience ever on any cruise we have taken or any trip we have bought through trip advisor that we couldn't use. - We arrived there 10 minutes before they were supposed to leave. We received a call 30 minutes asking if we were on our way. We called back and left message advising we were on our way and time of arrival. They saw us from the boat. They had not yet taken the anchors away until 5 min before. They could have let us in. Chose not to. We went there for a sunset cruise for our 30th anniversary. What a bad experience. That was just uncalled for.
