5.00This was my adult children’s first trip ever outside of Ontario and quite possibly the last trip with their dad. The crew was absolutely amazing and the whole experience was above and beyond expectations. When their dad passes, they will always have this special memory thanks to you guys.

4.00Very crowded on board the sailboat. The singer was good and got everyone singing along We had expected to actually sail without the motor but that didn’t happen. They did put the sails up for a couple of minutes and then just took them down. It would be a more fun experience for kids.
