Beautiful, peaceful sunset sail - The captain and mate were super friendly. They asked for volunteers to hoist the sails which was fun. The trip is two hours. You see three lighthouses and several islands. It is beautiful and peaceful. I highly recommend this trip for couples. They say BYOB but they sell reasonably priced alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages.

Perfect night on Boothbay Harbor - What a great experience. The water was calm, and the night was amazing. My husband and I enjoyed it immensely. The crew was terrific, Captain Katie was very funny. We saw seals, porpoises, osprey and several other birds. There were about 30 people on the boat and it didn't feel crowded, it was a perfect night in Boothbay Harbor. One thing I especially liked was the very reasonable price of drinks on the boat. Thank you for a great time!

Fun Experience - We had an amazing time. The captain and mate did a superb job, the weather was perfect and I got to help lower the sails. This was one of the highlights of our trip.

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!

No History or Info Given - The only complaint that we would have is that our captain was not user friendly at all. He did not provide any info on anything. When ask what island this might be, answer was curt, Burnt Island or Squirrel Island. Several other questions asked were almost answered with distain. The other crew member was friendly and would talk with the guests. We stayed in the harbor and tacked back and forth for the two hours.

A disappointment - The staff was friendly and tried to make the outing fun but seating was uncomfortable, we didn't travel as far as I expected and standing up and looking around was not easy.

Sunset Cruise - Weather and sunset was gorgeous. The only thing that I wish they would add to the cruise is narrating your whereabouts a little bit. Throughout the cruise, you could hear people saying now where do you think that is over there?

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