The son of the…read morefounder owner of the Black Dog Tavern explained the reason for the establishment of the tavern and the tall ship sailing programs. All proceeds for sailing go to maintaining the tall ship and staffing. I loved it. The crew made it fun they were nice and down to earth. Plus the group was small so it offered a level of intimacy that if fully sold out we wouldn't have experienced. We brought our dinner and drinks, enjoyed to views and sailed on a beautiful tall ship. It was the perfect ending to our Vineyard weekend.

Six months after my kayak experience, I discovered the Groupon coupon that I used wasn't processed…read morebecause I didn't supply the correct page and I owed more money. That in itself wouldn't be so terrible but I found out because they called my PARENTS instead of me to collect this money. I find that wildly invasive especially since I'm happy to pay any money I owe as long as I'm told I owe it! While the tour was great I found this incredibly upsetting because not only was my privacy invaded but my original credit card information I supplied them has clearly been lost. Too bad because the tour was great. I'd be cautious using this company-if you do, don't supply them with your credit card information because they mismanaged that information. Be careful using groupons or they might call your parents!

My boyfriend and I wanted to do something different so we tried kayaking. Our guide was wicked laid back but extremely knowledgeable. Being a little nervous of flipping, he rassured me everything would be fine. I am hoping to get back there this summer....if I can afford the vineyard that is. If we do make it, mvea is on the top of our list because it's affordable and surprisingly a lot of fun. I encourage anybody going to that island to do something different. Skip Aquinnah for a day and see some new areas.

The BYO private tour took us to their oyster farms and taught us about sustainable oyster farming. We learned so much and then got to enjoy the fruits of their labor - fresh oysters literally plucked and shucked before our eyes, Julia's take on Oysters Rockefeller- topped with crunchy bbq chips - and fresh seared scallops made on the boat. Truly the best (and most delicious) experience on MV! We had a blast eating, drinking and boating around. 10/10 experience that everyone should take advantage of!

TLDR: Don't pay upfront if you book this company!…read more I had booked the All Star Tour company for a private bachelorette tour on May 17, 2025. Not only were we left stranded at the ferry stop for hours due to a "van issue," but the backup tour companies that were allegedly sent over never showed. My group of 9 girls was left to fend for ourselves - we ended up finding a very nice taxi driver with a van to take up around instead. I had paid the full price of $450 upfront on Venmo, and afterwards the owner Jeffrey C. refused to issue a refund, even after weeks of texting. I would absolutely not recommend this company.

I…read morehad a tour booked (and paid in full) for June 12th, he backed out last minute due to an accident. Of course I was understanding, car accidents happen. BUT the backup company he promised to send didn't show and we were left stranded at the ferry dock and had to pay for a second tour. Now he won't refund my money and has stopped responding. Martha's Vineyard was beautiful and the people were great but DO NOT BOOK THIS COMPANY. I have found others who have been ripped off this month alone. I would give zero stars if that was an option. I want my money back, money that I saved a year for to celebrate my mom's 81st birthday. Im hoping honest reviews, a police report, a letter to the Chamber of Commerce, BBB and the MA Attorney General will do the trick.
