This was awesome! We had a great time. The food and beverage choices were the best out of any I saw available in the area. A true meal- all locally sourced- jerky and chips for the appetizer, sandwich, roasted veggies, mixed nuts, cherries, fudge, beer, wine, cider, and local soft drinks. The crew was nice, told good stories about the area, but also let you do your thing. They also allowed volunteers to help raise the sails if they wanted to.

Everything was amazing, they serve you drinks while on a boat, thats some skill. You meet new people, have some drinks, eat, and be merry! Just please get more cup holders! Do it, it's worth the money and the time, even if you have to rescheduleand take a 3 hour trip back home. Enjoy the moment because the trip and employees are worth it.

Great owner, captain and crew! Great selection of beverages, and the prepared food was truly gourmet level for the circumstances (i.e. schooner sailing). The sailing description says "Heavy Hors d'oeuvres." That means a fairly hefty snack was served, something that would classify as a reasonably filling lunch portion. So if you are planning your meals, I recommend a mid-day lunch (no later than 2 PM) that is sufficient "in quantity" to hold you over to around 8 PM. An early dinner may not be a good idea, as they do give you a good portion of food, and you want your stomach to be at least partially empty to enjoy it! Also, if the winds and waves are high and if you are susceptible to motion sickness, a preventative dose of motion sickness medication (like Dramamine) may be a good idea. Also, be sure to bring a light jacket, even if the temperatures are in the 70s.

Thank you for your review and recommendations. We are constantly refining what we do and appreciate feedback and suggestions. We loved having you on board. We do offer a good portion of locally sourced fare, so great tip! Some days the bay is more wavy then other days, but remember we're always close to a shore in the bay and that helps a lot with motion sickness in our experience. Come back and see us again soon!
