Crew was super friendly and happy to answer questions. The resident dog went around to greet all the passengers. Beautiful views, met nice people. My first time on a sailboat, quite a thrill! Great value.

Great experience. The crew were very obliging and happy to answer questions. We will definitely go again

Excellent way to view the bay!

Debra_S, Oct 2023

What a relaxing wonderful experience! Felt like I was aboard a privately owned vessel! Staff felt like they were old friends! I have never been on a sail boat, and never really wanted to go! This experience was exceptional! Would go again in a heart beat! Thanks you to all making the trip so memorable!

Beautiful sail on the harbor

Jane_H, Oct 2023

Watching the crew was very interesting so the ship snd sailing experience was the experience plus, of course, s gorgeous day on the harbor. I have just an overview of the sites because there was no text or talk so J ‘m not sure what we were seeing. This was a drawback for me as I had been thinking of it as a water view of a city tour.

Relaxing with great view of the City!

A very leisurely view of downtown Boston from the Harbor. The Crew were very pleasant with the passengers while actually sailing the boat. Nice selection of beverages aboard and a relaxing way to spend a hour and a half! The gorgeous weather certainly didn't hurt the experience either.

Fun day on the bay!

Jane_G, Oct 2023

Captain Austin was awesome, and the rest of the crew were entertaining and very knowledgeable. Lots of fun. I would highly recommend.

Nice sail

Brenda_N, Oct 2023

Great Trip

Mark_S, Oct 2023

Was a great crew and wonderful trip around the harbor, had snacks and drinks on board 😀 highly recommend

Great experience in Boston

Laura_M, Sep 2023

We had a great time! Weather was cold and rainy initially, but turned out fine. They cancelled our 2:30 trip due to bad weather, but put us on the sunset tour the same day. So it all worked out. Don’t love their policy that if the trip gets cancelled, you can reschedule, but no refunds. We were lucky we were able to go that evening or we would have lost our money as we were leaving Boston the next day. Overall a great experience. Crew was fun and interactive.

Rip Off

Super fun crew and l great views. Bring cash, sunglasses, sunblock, and good vibes. Doggy treats for Mr. Schwab as well!

Fantastic Sail

Heidi_Q, Sep 2023

The trip was more than I expected. The crew made us welcome even before we got on board. Their enthusiasm was infectious, no question was too much to answer, even if it was an obviously simple question. This trip was something myself and friend had wanted to do for a long time. Even though we both have mobility problems, it was no problem to the crew. They looked out fir us all the way. Now this is something to remember and happily recommend to others. Thank you.

Relaxing on a beautiful day. Would have liked a little information about places we passed. Pleasant weather was important to our enjoyment and we lucked out.

Perfect day for sailing!

Donna_M, Aug 2023

The smooth sailing and excellent crew on the Liberty Clipper made the day amazing. We had fantastic weather and Captain Tom was very knowledgeable. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing Boston from the water.

Fun experience of impressive sail boat

Marlene_A, Aug 2023

Gorgeous boat with amazing crew. Sails manœuvering impressive. However other than some music and limited comments not much infos during the entire tour probably due to type of boat. Lots of people on boat for sitting space.

Great Sailing Experience

Darryl_R, Aug 2023

Nice ride

Renata_B, Aug 2023

The staff was friendly and attentive. The ride was lovely. I would have liked some narrative of the sights we were seeing or how the ship operates.
