Sailing Boston Harbor aboard these historic wooden schooners consistently delivers memorable experiences, thanks largely to the crew's energy and expertise. Captain Fredo earns particular praise across multiple reviews for keeping things fun and entertaining, while the crew is repeatedly described as friendly, attentive, and skilled. The boats themselves add to the charm – these authentic tall ships offer something genuinely different from typical harbor tours, with sunset sails being especially popular for taking in Boston's skyline from the water. The overwhelmingly positive feedback spans everything from casual outings to special occasions like the Pastries & Prosecco sail, which has become a repeat favorite for locals hosting friends. A few guests did note occasional operational hiccups – one experienced two last-minute cancellations due to private charters, and another felt the 4th of July USS Constitution viewing didn't quite meet expectations for positioning. One sailing was shortened due to weather without compensation offered. Still, most visitors rank their time aboard as a highlight of their Boston visit, with the relaxed atmosphere and beautiful vessels creating an experience that feels both unique and quintessentially Boston.
Fantastic evening sail with a great crew. The boat is lovely and the scenery is fantastic. Thanks so much to the wonderful crew!
