| We had great weather for a sunset sail. The crew was nice. The captain noted a few points of interest, but it was not overbearing. Relaxing time out and the $1 drinks were a added bonus. Good times for a couple or a group. |

| We were lucky enough to have superb weather, but the crew is a large part of what made the experience so enjoyable. They went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable (blankets were offerred to make sure we were all warm enough - it gets chilly on the water when the sun goes down) and were just very, very nice people.
We followed the suggestion when booking and brought along our own "clambake" from the restaurant next door (The Landing - at a crew member's suggestion). We ate a scrumptious dinner (I think everyone else was jealous) while we drank champagne and wine. The captain briefed us on some local history and the surroundings during the trip and was very conversational.
My wife wanted to purchase a long sleeved t-shirt, but they didn't have one in her size. We found out later that they carried several on the boat - so ask while your on the cruise!
I highly recommend the experience! Great evening! |

| My husband and I are avid sailors and appreciate the fine boat building that is accomplished by the Scarano Brothers business. The vessel sailed very smoothly, the wind was perfect, and Andy at the helm was very informative about the area and sights we were passing along the way. |

Sunset Schooner Sail

| The sail was excellent, in every respect.
However... we had tickets for the previous afternoon's sail, drove a distance to get to the
harbor, only to learn that the ship would not sail because there were not enough passengers. While we understand *why* the sail could not take place, we were
greatly inconvenienced by spending time and money [gas,tolls] to get to Newport
for a trip which was canceled. Surely we could have been forewarned. My husband
was not feeling well that day and we would have easily accepted an offer to postpone our trip, but we made the effort to be there on time. |

| I definatly reccomend this company 100%. On the warf there are several companies simmilar to the Adirondack, but none offer champagne, Carona, Sam Adams, Miller, and wine for 1$. We went on the 5:30 cruise, which gave us a perfect sunset halfway through. However, by the time we got back to the dock it was pitch black, so if your going to go during the fall I would NOT take the 7:30 ride, it will be pitch black. Also, everyone was really nice and informative on New Port Harbor history. Make sure to bring a jacket and scarf, there are blankets but it gets cold once the sun goes down. |

| Following a busy all-day meeting, it was great to unwind with coworkers aboard the Adirondack II. We had a small group of 6, but it was clear this would be a great outing for a couple, a family, or work associates. The staff was very friendly and knowledgable, and I would definitely book another trip for this type of work outing. |
