    Review summary

    Excellent
    146 reviews•Google Maps

    Captain Scott and his crew have clearly mastered the art of Lake Erie sailing adventures. The overwhelmingly positive feedback highlights their professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for what they do. Guests consistently praise how knowledgeable the crew is about both sailing and the Erie area, sharing interesting local facts and stories while making everyone feel comfortable and welcome. First-timers especially appreciate how patient and encouraging Scott is, often letting guests try their hand at sailing if interested. The experiences range from sunset cruises and birthday celebrations to specialized offerings like wine pairings with a sommelier and even sunrise sound bath sails. Families, couples, and groups all seem to have equally wonderful times. The boat itself gets high marks for being beautiful and well-maintained. While one reviewer had a negative experience, it appears to be a significant outlier given the consistent praise from nearly everyone else who describes their outings as magical, memorable, and worth every penny.

    It was the crown jewel to our experience in Erie. Captain Scott and his crew were professional, knowledgeable, had great suggestions about the area and at times quite funny. I'd recommend this to anyone looking to have a great and intimate sailing adventure with a real professional. If you're in Erie, this is a can't miss.
