The crew was informative, friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time. Why do I have to fill at least 28 characters that's BS

Very nice schooner. Very informative and participation if you wanted to. Had a great time even though we rain into rain. Still manager to see the sun set.

It was a nice time. We sat on a wooden bench which was mostly comfortable. It was cold! Bring a sweater or coat and wear pants. The wine was canned. Gross! The water was mostly smooth and the sunset was beautiful. The crew was nice and competent. Just a nice ride. No real sightseeing except the water and sunset.

The Margaret Todd is a 4 mast schooner that takes you on a lovely tour. The crew and captain were friendly and very knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed a beautiful sunset cruise!

Oversold. Too many people. You have to ask people to move around to make space for you! and too many rules especially to kids…. Kids have to sit if parents are sitting or other way around, make sure your kids are with you all time!! Tone is very unfriendly, already treat kids like trouble maker before the boat even left. Kids aren’t free. If you want adults only, then make it so, rather than being unfriendly and rude to kids. The experience is rather underwhelming too, which makes it feel like a waste of time. I gave it 2 stars cuz there’s one sailor who’s friendly and engage in conversation.
