We took two sails across our extended family and everyone had a fantastic time from teens to toddlers and the adults too. They kept everyone safe while also allowing even the youngest "crew" to have turns sailing. They were happy to share info about sailing and Gloucester or just let everyone relax and chat on our own. Their 36' Catalina is a perfect cruising boat- lots of space to sit for up to 6 guests and a cabin with a "head" (restroom) just in case. We will definitely be back soon for more sails!

We took a tour on George's Tour in September and were very disappointed. In the advert it lists…read morethat you will see Seals in their natural surroundings, Historic Lighthouses, etc. but all we saw were peoples houses and some birds flying around. Was not worth the time and the money to go. We sat almost 10 minutes idling waiting for the draw bridge to open up. So, obviously we will not do it again and I recommend to all who are thinking of going , to think twice. Go with a larger Tour Boat, you will see more. Leslie Klaproth

If you are looking for a loud, rowdy "Booze Cruise" then this is definitely for you…read more When I purchased tickets the website clearly advertised a relaxing, scenic boat cruise with bird watching and some narration of the history of the area. Perfect for my elderly family members birthday. Imagine my surprise when a large group of intoxicated people showed up and ruined the entire experience for everyone on board. They continued to drink throughout the tour making it even more intolerable. At one point two of the drunk men stumbled over to where I was sitting for a "better view." They got so close that I was pinned against the boat and one of their friends had to intervene. The captain however, did not intervene. I observed him being tipped by this group which gave him incentive to turn a blind eye to their behavior. I wanted to address all of this at the time but did not want to make a scene in front of my family. Furthermore, I would've had to complain to the captain right in front of the drunk people which would leave me open to retaliation. I did reach out to the company the next day via email and outlined everything that took place. I received an email back a few days later from the captain denying that anything happened. No apology, no compensation of any kind. He had total disregard for the safety of everyone else on board who had their experience ruined. One last note to put things in perspective. I work at a night club. I deal with intoxicated people all the time and have a high tolerance. This behavior was unacceptable and unreasonable, especially since all of their advertising leads you to believe this will be a peaceful experience.
