The crew gives great directions and is skilled in staggering cars so that all cars can open their doors! The port had an industrial feel to it without much "to do" if you arrive early. The ferry was clean, 3 levels plus 2 levels for autos so lots to explore. There was a snack bar with a variety of over-priced snacks, and a connected bar on the other side of the wall . The bartender was friendly and was also DJ, sharing music via her device. The bathroom was spotless! About an hour out they made an announcement asking drivers to return to their cars. The ride took about And hour 15 min. Driving off was just as easy. Port Jefferson looked so inviting as well.

The area is all industrial and there is nothing to see. Absolutely the opposite of Port Jefferson. They told us to line up. We were hoping to get on board and luckily we did. A bit expensive with a car and driver though not dealing with traffic and being able to relax for an hour is a decision you have to decide for yourself. The food location in the main ararea has quick snacks and drinks.

Because I tangled my line with another person I moved to a different spot on the boat and Max brought me my own bucket of bait! We caught porgy and sea bass. In fact, I won the pool with the biggest catch of the day! Tonight we are having bass!! (beginner's luck, no doubt). Many customers on the boat were clearly frequent users of Middlebank Sport Fishing. Nick and Max knew many by their first names and everyone was truly friendly. The boat was clean and organized and docked in the most convenient area with tons of parking. When I left, even the captain honked and said "you are the winner of today's pool? Congrats!" It was so nice. We will surely return. I recommend it to anyone.

This tour was definitely a highlight of our trip! Captain John and Charlie were great and all the passengers aboard had a great time! We passed three lighthouses-Peck Ledge LH, Sheffield Island LH and Green's Ledge LH. Charlie, co-captain of Captain John, had just toured the inside of Green's Ledge LH the day before which is listed on Airbnb for $6,000! He went around the ship showing everyone the floor plan. It especially exciting to be on the Long Island Sound and to see the red and white towers from Northport, since I live on Long Island!! We were able to see several different viewpoints of the sunset and osprey nests as well. Definitely recommend to residents of Norwalk AND tourists alike!

Be warned, book tickets online and in advance. They sold out for day/time we wanted to take the cruise, but there were 20 tickets still available the night before. Plan accordingly. We arrived for a 3:30 cruise on a beautiful August afternoon. The cruise seemed to be full, and there was a mix of couples and families on the boat. The boat ride is smooth and relaxing. The boat staff was offering a "guided" tour, but it was tough to hear, so I gave up trying and just enjoyed the experience of being out on the water. The boat ride is about 30 - 40 minutes each way. You won't get wet, at least we didn't, and there are enough seats/room for everyone. Once you arrive at the island, you have about 1.5 hours to explore. They have a guided lighthouse tour, a small concession stand, a small beach (not one that you would lay out at, so no need to bring a suit), volleyball courts, nature trails, etc. This entire experience is set up to be calm and relaxing. There isn't too much to do on the island, but that's kind of the point. You are only there for 1.5 hours, and there's no way you can get that bored in that period. Just unwind and take in the scenery for a few minutes, it will clear your mind. They offer limited food at the concession stand, but you can always bring your own snacks as well. Next time, I will bring a few snacks for us, especially since our trip was over dinner time. The bugs - BEWARE. They don't spray for mosquitos, and as a result, they are everywhere. I didn't know bugs would be a problem in advance, but the cruise provides spray upon arrival for free! I brought my own SPF, but they also provided that as well. The staff is lovely and do anything they can to make your experience as pleasant as possible. This is the perfect low-key day trip, and I highly recommend it to anyone in the area.

Due to the rain, we stayed in the main part of the boat and did not go up the ladder, but we stayed warm and dry. We enjoyed hearing all of the stories about the little islands. It is a great choice for family gatherings, work groups looking for a social activity etc. It is about an hour long and for those who are a bit reticent about going on a boat - land can be seen at all times! Make sure to leave extra time for parking, because on a nice day, parking can be a bit of a walk. (Can park behind the church for a donation, but that will take an extra 5ish minutes to walk...). The captain and crew are friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Great value!

The crew was very professional, friendly, and helpful, and everything was well-organized and well-managed. The food was very good and it was plentiful. The bartender was exceptional - we were all served promptly and she even came around to our tables a few times to see if we wanted refills. The ship was not crowded so we had plenty of room to mingle and enjoy ourselves. The outdoor decks are small-ish but as the boat was fairly empty that was fine. All in all it was a great day and I would recommend this as an excellent option for enjoying one of Long Island's most spectacular areas. The Captain even made sure to come downstairs from the pilot house to thank us all for coming and say goodbye. :-) The only reason I'm not giving this a 5-star review is that the boat quite frankly needs a thorough, top to bottom scrubbing - all the surfaces were dirty/sticky and the floors were grimy (yes, I know it's a marine environment and dampness is part of being on a boat... but this was more than just the "sea air!"). A few hours with a power washer (and carpet steamer) would do wonders! The paint needs refreshing too - even if just the railings, which stood out the most as old/worn looking. Bottom line, I'd recommend it and I'd go again... but I'd love to see the Lauren Kristy gleam the way she could with a detailing and a bit of fresh paint!
