Family afternoon cruise - Excellent enjoyable time. Crew members made it a total worthwhile experience. We definitely would do it again. Loved seeing HH from a sailboat.

Unique and memorable sailing experience - I was looking for a relaxed sailing excursion for my wife and I and came across this experience on the Stars & Stripes. I have memories of the historic America's Cup race win back in 1987 with Dennis Connor, so I was jazzed that we could have a chance to ride on the very same boat. The booking and boarding process couldn't have been easier. There was room for about 20 guests and the crew of three. It was a pleasure to talk to the captain, Peter, who, as it turns out, is a sailing legend around Hilton Head Island himself. We were able to watch dolphins jump right next to the boat as we sailed out and back in the sound for two hours. There was even an opportunity for myself and several others to man the helm for several minutes. We would absolutely do this again and recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic cruise on the Stars & Stripes - Great cruise on the Stars & Stripes with Capt Peters! He was very engaging with the clientele and had lots of good stories. Good sailing under almost calm conditions, crossing wakes made by the ferries, etc. Caught some wind on the way back to the harbor that gave us a little list to port! It was great to be in the aft of the boat where all the action takes place!

Great way to see the harbor, Captain Eric is a great host! - Beautiful and windy day, what a way to see Boston Harbor! Captain Eric was great, the entire crew tended to the boat and the passengers with complete professionalism… I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience sailing or just enjoy a trip around the harbor!

Canceled due to weather. - We booked the trip a week ahead of time and the morning of the event we were notified the trip was canceled. I asked why and the agent explained the weather looked iffy and others on the trip canceled so there was less than 8 passengers booked. Needless to say we were disappointed.
