Classic Afternoon Schooner Sail

So different than an engine-driven boat. Watching the crew work together like clockwork is fascinating, the views are beautiful. The almost silent boat on the water is low-tech and lovely.

This was one of the highlights of our trip! We felt very safe and well-taken care of. The captain and crew were very friendly and accommodating and made us feel right at home. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. We had an absolutely delightful time and would highly recommend to everyone!

When we compared this sailing to the one we took on Cape Cop a couple years ago, this one fell a bit short. We thought we would go out a bit beyond the bay, but instead stayed within the bay area. There wasn't much wind so I don't know how much that affected where we ventured as we seemed to use the motors quite frequently. The crew was wonderful and polite. The captain providing details and descriptions along the route was interesting but hard to hear. He didn't seem to have a very loud voice. Also, the ice chest rumbling when one of the deck hands retrieved beer bottles prevented us from hearing more clearly. The time out in the water was perfect and on-time.

We had a great sail. The weather was beautiful with the right amount of wind to fill the sails. The water was calm. There were only a few of us on the first sail of the season, so we had lots of room to enjoy our time on the water. The captain and crew were very knowledgable about the area and its history. The time passed by so quickly, it was hard to believe we were on board for an hour and a half. If we ever get back to RI, we would probably do it again.

The crew was very friendly. Cost for sodas, beer and wine was reasonable. The boat was in very good shape. The 3:00 trip for 90 minutes fit perfectly into our schedule.

Took cruise on Adirondack II with 2 boys, aged 9 and 11. The captain and crew were friendly, accommodating and kind. Captain and crew were knowledgeable about area and willingly shared all they knew. Captain interacted well with boys and gave them a lot of information about boats and sailing. They even got to steer! The 9 year old even wants to begin sailing lessons! The crew certainly took notice of all passengers and made every attempt to keep all engaged, comfortable and happy! If you want to cruise the harbor-consider the Adirondack II.

I highly recommend this trip. My Mother (age 72) and my aunts (ages 71 and 66) recently visited from IL and this was their first trip on a sail boat. They absolutely loved it and have been raving about the trip ever since. The weather didn't cooperate (we had light rain) but it didn't dampen our fun. The crew could not have been nicer and were a wealth of knowledge about the area. My Mom and Aunts asked lots of questions, and the crew seemed delighted to have the interaction with their guests. The crew was also well prepared for the rain with complementary rain slickers for each of us. I was a little concerned if this trip would be appropriate for an elderly person but it worked out very well and a great trip for all ages.

The Captain was teriific and very experienced with sailing. His crew was professional and accomodating to the passengers. We had a wonderful time and plan another Adirondack sailing Labor Day weekend.

Relaxing and enjoyable!

Went out with Captain Chris. He was funny and informative. It was a hot and cloudy day and the breeze was terrific. My husband and I enjoyed hearing the history of the various properties we passed.. Loved it!
