| Purchased tickets in advance to celebrate birthday with five family members. Lovely evening..Sailboat was very nice. The crew members were very knowledgeable and friendly. $1 for any drink was quite the bargain. Nothing more beautiful than to be on the ocean at sunset. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone. |

| We took the sunset sail around Naragansett Bay and loved every second of it. The captain and crew were friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. This was one of the best things we did on our trip to Newport. I highly recommend it!! |

| We had a great time on the 9-6 sunset sail. Staff was great! Drinks were offered at $1 each. Weather was perfect. We sailed under the bridge - wonderful photo op.(not by the Mansions). If you are looking for a fully narrated tour, this is not for you. If you want to enjoy sailing with a great crew and friends, sign up. |

| The ship was beautiful but the crew was amazing! We had a wonderful young lad who was working the jib sheet and giving us a full lesson in Newport's fine history! Couple all of that with the beer and wine and you have a perfect evening! |

| My husband and I had a amazing time on the sunset cruise around the Newport Harbor. The crew was very knowlegable, freindly and entertainig. I highly recommend anyone interested in taking in the sites to do it with the family of the Schooner Adirondack II. You have made our experience a memorable one. Thanks, great job and I will do it again. |

| Enjoyed the cruise in spite of the weather which was foggy so the sunset cruise was more like a foggy cruise. But of course you don't control the weather.
What you do control is the ambiance on the boat. I would suggest, that on bad weather days, when there is nothing to see due to the fog and mist, that the captain and crew would entertain the passengers by some prepared informational lecture about either life on the boat, or about the bay and the sea life, how deep is the water, what is fishing like, how you navigate through the fog, well, you get the picture. Instead of just letting the passengers sit there and entertain each other.
Not a critique, but take it as constructive criticism.
Your crew is great though, and it was interesting to see how the sails were hoisted up and down. An explanation of the different sails would have been interesting as well.
Thank you. |

| It was my 25th wedding anniversary and I surprised my wife with the sail. She loved it and the Captain and crew were very helpful and knowledgeable. I enjoyed it and maybe go on my 26th. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| We were on a four-day weekend trip and and decided to buy tickets online for a sail at 7:00 PM that Friday evening. However, a thunderstorm formed that afternoon. We were disappointed but greatful when the crew decided to cancel the 7:00 sail because of the threat of high winds and rain. They gave us a refund and we tried the following afternoon. We had no trouble getting tickets around thirty minutes before the 1:00 PM sail on the next day which was weather perfect. My wife and I and about fifteen others came on board. The young crew, consisting of two girls and one young helmsman, was very competent and very friendly. Beer and softdrinks were available for a dollar. After a while, the young helmsman allowed a few passengers including myself to take the helm and steer the boat for a few minutes at a time. All in all, a great time out on the bay and we took some great pictures. The sail lasted about one and a half hours and in my opinion well worth the price. I would certainly recommend it to any visitor to Newport. |
