Great memorable experience for the 6:30pm sunset sail. The check in process was smooth, we arrived just before 5:45, which was nice for boarding to start promptly. The crew was kind and helpful. The views were lovely! I get sea sick often, but the crew was super informative on ways to reduce it and the sea was calm. A bit chilly so glad to have a sweater and a blanket!
Even on a nice day, it’s very cold. Probably needed a heavy jacket, pants, and a hat. It would be great if they served coffee or hot chocolate or something warm.
It was simply not worth it. The boat was way over crowded and you had to sit shoulder to shoulder like sardines. The crew acted like TSA agents and the short trip was not enjoyable. We had a miserable time. I was very glad when it was over.
Loved it! I went early in the season, so it was cold, but the staff provided blankets! I was grateful for this! The crew was very friendly and navigated around the bay with ease. It was a fun way to see the islands and lighthouses in the area.
Beautiful night! Great narrative of when they were unfurling the sails and process. Would have liked more narrative of where we were and what we were seeing.
Beautiful sunset cruise. Captain was knowledgeable and shared information, was big on safety which I appreciated. One disgruntled crew member who complained about her role to another coworker. Beyond that everyone was professional. Could have used another server for drinks. Overall though, an amazing experience! Wonderful memories made.
For half of the time we had to work at staying out of the way of the crew’s activities, not enjoying the experience. It was a hot afternoon and water was not available until the sail was half over which was uncomfortable. The crew was more inclined to police the guests instead of making sure we were comfortable.
This trip was very disappointing. We were packed in very tight and the crew was awful. I felt like I was at the TSA check in at the airport and the crew was rude and unapologetic. Please don't waste your money.
My experience was fun, but I didn’t realize that Viator took a 55% markup on the real cost of the tickets. I will think twice and compare costs next time.
Nice trip, crew was very nice and friendly.
