90 minute tour around the bay in a sail boat. Great staff was able to answer questions about landmarks and other vessels. When famous landmarks appeared they’d give a little information but otherwise as guides as you wished.

From start to finish it was wonderful, from the ferry in Providence to the sailing ship in Gallie and its crew - were so nice and knowledgeable about the area we sailed in. I hope to contact you for another adventure soon!

The crew was really great! Very personable and explained a lot of things! They explained a lot of the history on the tour. It was cool to learn a little about sailing. They made us feel very comfortable.
