I went with my coworkers... - I went with my coworkers and we had a wonderful time. The music was amazing. I wish you could use the flash on your phone, that didn’t make any sense on why we couldn’t.

Beautiful views from a charming ship and crew. - Crew was stellar. Captain avoided a mid lake collision, excitement abound. The music selection was not to my taste otherwise a great experience.

The views of the city... - The views of the city were amazing. We wish they would have sailed more instead of parking in one spot for so long. If the music would have related to a pirate pub cruise that would have been more festive.

Not as expected - Not as expected. It was cool to take the sailboat out, but I thought we'd do more than just sit offshore and listen to music, looking at the city for 2 hrs. The crew were dressed as Pirates but did not have any facts or interesting stories, even when we approached them asking for info. Was not a very interactive tour, would recommend spending your money elsewhere or finding a cheaper sailboat tour.
