5.00Sailing on the Dennis Sullivan was a wonderful experience. The staff made us all feel like part of the crew and we learned a lot about the ship as well as the World Ocean School Program. Highly recommend, especially for history buffs, people who enjoy supporting a good cause, and those who just love being out on the water!

5.00Thoroughly fun short adventure with a very professional, knowledgeable and friendly captain and crew. I sailed with a dear friend who is totally blind. We are both in our 70's. The passengers and crew were attentive and helpful and ready to answer questions while we were on board. I had a gift certificate for one of us - won a crab race at Leatherback Brewery on St. Croix - deep discount on second ticket ($45.00). My blind friend has sailed his entire life and still has several boats, motor and sail. He lost his vision 25 years ago. I, too, have a long history of sailing adventures in the Caribbean and Chesapeake Bay. We had good wind and following seas and there were whitecaps, however, due to the huge size of this ship there was minimal heeling even when going upwind. not one passenger got seasick! The time passed very swiftly. We had such a good time it was sad when we disembarked. Highly Recommend
Great time
