Praise from our Passengers

Sunset Cruise
Took some friends on the sunset cruise and had a blast! Linda and Bob are the nicest folks you’ll ever meet. Some of us wanted to help sail and others just wanted to sit back and enjoy the ride. We went around Boston harbor and they showed us different points of interest, it was so beautiful and peaceful out on the water. They told us about their beautiful boat and its easy to see how passionate they are about sailing and welcomed all of our questions (we were a curious bunch). I found it absolutely thrilling and exhilarating. It’s the first time I completed a “bucket list” item before I knew it should be on the bucket list
