    Sailing on Maria, Down Cape’s gorgeous sailboat was the highlight of our summer ! From the first phone call to book a sail, to meeting the Captain at the boat, enjoying the sights of Pleasant Bay and feeling safe and comfortable aboard the boat, the experience could not have been better. We are 12 local women who know Cape Cod well, and this activity was the most magical experience for all of us !
