Stellar experience with a fun crew - So glad we booked our schooner cruise with this company. Great communication prior to the cruise. Every staff member, from dock check-in to the sailing crew was friendly and personable. Seating is on the wood cabin roof, so bring a jacket to sit on. You can get up and walk around and help hoist sails. The crew know a lot of history and general knowledge about the bay area. We had so much fun. Our weather was sunny with a light breeze, so they did use the motor once in a while just to keep us cruising along. We saw seals, loons, lobster boats and several lighthouses. I would definitely recommend!

Exhilarating Experience - Heeling was amazing! Had never been on such an exhilarating sail. Captain and crew were nice and seemed to handle windy/chilly conditions well. Quite a thrilling ride!

Real sailing - This trip is unique because the ship actually ran via sails, not motor. The crew also allowed us to help pull up the sails. Wind was great.

Nice historic boat - The “captain” shared a brief history of this lovingly restored boat before setting out for our 2 hour cruise. It was a sailing vessel, but we were motored the whole trip. 4 star rating due to overcrowded feel, lack of and water, snack etc/ even for purchase, uncomfortable seating, no shaded areas to escape. The crew was young and friendly. Woman at ticket office not so much. Didn’t feel like the thrill it could have been.

A quiet break away from the noise - It was so serene as we quietly sailed across the bay. We had a lovely breeze and it was like a like break from the noise on land
