Super time on the Summer Wind!

5.00I took the tour with my partner- it was a wonderful experience to enjoy a cruise around the harbor and learn about the history of the area. Our captains were friendly, knowledgeable and great storytellers- not just reciting facts. Also a good value, especially considering the small group size. The meeting spot was easy to find, the sailboat was safe, clean and comfortable, stocked with cold drinks and had a bathroom (we didn’t use it but good to know it was there). I highly recommend this trip to anyone.
Just Perfect

5.00The only day we had a chance to go and it was cold and damp. The captain and crew warmed us up with a wonderful sail boat ride on bay.

5.00Absolutely Wonderful!!! We chose (as it turned out) the best day for sailing! Everyone we met at the on boarding facility were so polite and professional! The Captain, her helper and the tour guide were spectacular and were experts for the knowledge they bought to our history tour! We will be booking again!

4.00The "sail" itself is pretty uneventful. But it was the history and the local stories that made the sail very enjoyable. The Captain knows his "stuff" and he has a passion for it. So enjoy it
A great Harbor Tour!

5.00This was an amazing excursion! The schooner and the crew were very professional and knowledgeable. I learned so many unique things about Baltimore. It really gave me a desire to learn even more. The weather was amazing and the experience was very personal, with a small group. I would definitely recommend this tour if you would like to see the harbor and learn about Baltimore!
Relaxing morning cruise!
