This is a must for anyone visiting Salem! The crew was incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgable. You could feel their passion throughout the whole trip. The boat is beautiful with lots of space to move around. I went the last weekend in September with some girlfriends and it was still a wonderful experience, just be sure to bring a sweater/jacket as it does get much cooler on the water. Highly recommend!

We loved are sunset cruise on the schooner If and When, we only had 5 people aboard on a beautiful evening in October! The captain and first mate were fabulous, very attentive, told great stories and served wonderful cocktails. I would go again in a heartbeat!

The crew was fantastic, the sunset was spectacular, and the cocktails were on point. This was the highlight of our time in Salem.
