    Review summary

    4.5
    Excellent
    62 reviews•Google Maps

    The sailing experiences here get rave reviews, particularly aboard the historic Christeen. Guests consistently praise the knowledgeable captains and crew who share fascinating stories while navigating Oyster Bay's waters. The sunset sails seem especially popular, and many appreciate the hands-on experience of helping raise the sails on a vessel with such remarkable history. Beyond sailing, the kayak rentals and wildlife tours are winners too, with naturalists like Lauren earning special mentions for their expertise in spotting ospreys and other local wildlife. There's a concerning pattern worth noting though. Multiple groups report last-minute cancellations, sometimes just an hour before scheduled departures, with birthday celebrations being particularly affected. Several reviewers describe frustrating interactions with staff during these situations and mention inconsistent explanations. That said, the majority of visitors have smooth, memorable experiences with friendly, helpful staff both on the water and at the front desk. The kayaking, sailing lessons, and scenic tours consistently deliver when things go as planned, making this a solid choice if you stay flexible with your schedule.

    We booked a special birthday sail on the Christeen for 20 people. Everyone had an amazing time! Our captain and crew were so fun and knowledgeable-sharing fascinating information as we sailed around beautiful Oyster Bay. The front desk staff is also very welcoming and helpful! We plan to book another sail next summer in the evening. Highly recommend!
