An amazing and unforgettable experience - It was a very unique experience. The crew and captain were super friendly and made the experience super comfortable. The part of trip that will stick with me is the live music they had on board (not sure if it happens every trip).

Fun Experience! - This s a great sail!!! Awesome crew and captain. Weather was great… a little windy this day, recommend you take a warm jacket just in case. You may need it out on the water. Beautiful scenery.

Windjammer Sailing Trip - Great trip! Smart, fun and engaging crew. We liked that there was the ability to have a drink and take in the sights. It was a BEAUTIFUL sailboat and a BEAUTIFUL cruise. Definitely bring layers as the start of the trip was hot and the end of the trip was colder. We were fine but other in shorts were too cold (September). The area is a charming, clean and naturally beautiful area.

Too good, I'll go back, - Very good ride. You shouldn't get seasick, though, because even without wind, you're in a sailing boat and you're pacing the waves of the sea.

Rare day in October for Windjammer (Margaret Todd) sail out of Bar Harbor, Maine. - Beautiful day for our afternoon cruise! Courteous crew, friendly passengers. Informative Captain. Saw loons, harbor porpoises.
Lovely park at Bar Harbor to wait for boarding.

Schooner foray - Voyage takes you out into a beautiful bay. Would recommend a jacket because it gets chilly out on the water. Crew was organized and friendly.

Book this boat trip! - A great outing! The boat ride was cancelled on Saturday due to extremely high winds. The company called us and asked if we wanted to rebook for Sunday or if we wanted a full refund. We were still going to be in Bar Harbor so we rebooked and had a wonderful time! Lasted about an hour and a half. Only thing I’d change is that it was hard to hear over the loudspeakers for any info they were trying to tell us. Overall, great experience and would definitely recommend!

We only went up and back... - We only went up and back terrible no more worth saying as it's not worth talking about and you should take it off your excursions

Underwhelming cruise - The boat pulled out of the dock, travelled a less than a mile out and returned. There were several small islands the ship could have sailed around.
Not worth the money
