3.00The ship we were to be on had engine problems and we were told that not everyone that booked could go on the replacement ship. This one ended up to be not as large, not as old and not as comfortable. The crew were doing their best in the situation. It would have been better to refund some of those that didn’t want to switch.
I will definitely do this again!

5.00The captain and crew were very professional but friendly and were happy to share their experience and knowledge with us, answering questions about landmarks and going further with what they knew about them. The ship handling was outstanding, and we truly enjoyed the sights and sounds of the sea while sailing under wind power! I was especially impressed with the history of the Windameen, built in the same year that the Titanic went down, and serving in the Atlantic and the Great Lakes, left for dead for 50 years in New York City until restored in the 80's. A priceless piece of history!

5.00Easy tickets via Viator, exactly what me and my partner were looking for! Short 2 hour boat ride in Casco Bay on a lovely schooner. I really appreciate that the crew didn’t have any elevator speeches but made themselves available for questions and conversation. Next time we will go on the sunset cruise! Tip: bring a camera and long sleeve/blanket in case it gets chilly—-also, small snacks, wine/beer/beverages if you wish.

5.00Our family enjoyed a beautiful afternoon out on the water, taking in the coastline sights of Portland and several islands in Casco Bay. Our sons enjoyed helping hoist the sails, and the captain and crew were very welcoming to everyone on board. We definitely would sail again on the Windjammer!
