Captain Scott and his crew have built something genuinely special on Lake Erie. Reviewers consistently rave about the warm, knowledgeable atmosphere on board, with Scott's passion for sailing and the Erie area coming through in every trip. The crew changes depending on the outing, but the quality stays consistent, and guests frequently call out how safe and comfortable they felt, even first-timers who had never set foot on a sailboat before. The range of experiences available is a real draw. Sunset cruises, sailing lessons, wine and food pairings with a sommelier, and even a sunrise sound bath have all earned glowing praise. Milestone celebrations like birthdays seem to be a particular specialty, with multiple reviewers noting how the crew went out of their way to make those moments feel memorable. There is one outlier one-star review calling the experience a rip-off, though it offers no specifics and stands in sharp contrast to the overwhelmingly positive feedback across hundreds of trips. It is worth noting that the wine pairing experience requires a minimum booking of four people, so smaller groups should factor that in when planning. Overall, this feels like a well-run, thoughtfully curated operation that earns its reputation.
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.
