4.00The crew on the ship were great. It was a beautiful cruise. Really enjoyed the experience, particularly seeing so many colorful sailboats around us. Only negative is that some of the food was not very good. Chicken was fine, but fish and lamb were not very good.
Enjoyable dinner cruise.

5.00The captain and crew make this an unforgettable experience. We were lucky to have a perfect evening for the sail and dinner. Being a sailor I appreciated the opportunity to sail the ship for part of the cruise. The food was from a local gourmet resturant, that added to the experience .

5.00Capt Charles, Billie and Phin were amazing! Beautiful sailing experience. My only suggestion would be fewer people. It was difficult to manage food and drink.
