    With Captain Chris, captain of the Tall Boats!
    Ian M.

    It was a beautiful day for sailing on a 127 year old schooner (technically a cutter) with Captain Chris. The boat and captain made for a great time. We was saw porpoise, bald eagles and a lot of beautiful boats. Three hours of really funny conversation even when it was serious. Thanks to Sail Acadia and Captain Chris for a great voyage.

    We took a morning sail on board the "Linda" out of Northeast Harbor. I cannot give any higher accolades to this group than "WOW!" For all the other headboats on MDI looking to make their season this group seems to be of a different mindset. The very idea of "Small groups and personalized experiences" is something that seems to get lost in our world today. We had Ben as our Captain and it is my opinion that if he wants to join you for any future season, DO IT! He is kind, knowledgable, experienced, good with people and kids and is the type of person you can be confident will represent your company in the best ways. The conditions we had were just about perfect. A steady SSW breeze just strong enough to make good way under sail only. Highly recommended!

    What a day and a great trip! Excellent captain John and naturalist Arlo! I had an injury and they were very accommodating getting me on and off the boat! I'd highly recommend this trip! All 7 of enjoyed it very much!

    We took The Elizabeth T to Little Cranberry Island after my youngest son exchanged vows with my new daughter in law in Acadia National Park! What a wonderful authentic Maine experience aboard their refurbished lobster boat! Joel, the captain and his crew showed us seals in the harbor and relayed the history and daily life of the harbor and coast! This is a great way to get out on the water and see this beautiful coastline.

    We sailed with Linda ("the boat"), Captain Ben and Matt on September 2020 along with 4 other passengers. The boat was smaller than I expected but i guess it was really just enough for an hour trip. We booked for a sunset sail but unfortunately it got cloudy that day and so there really was no sunset view at all lol but the sea was great. It was a good time to just be out, feel some fresh air and even to chitchat with different people. Our Captains were engaging and kept the boat as lively as possible. They shared stories, information, pointed out places/islands and threw in some good jokes. They let some of us set the sails and even steer. Overall people aboard were great too, friendly and were all polite. It was a mix of NY, NJ and Tx crew! We get to bring our own picnic which was a plus. Sail Acadia was just one of the many options you get to explore Bar Harbor and all its splendor!

    When you live in Maine, who thinks about taking boat tours? That's for tourists!! (Lol!!)…read more Seriously, though, we had guests in town, so we thought it'd be fun to charter a boat for the four of us to go up the Penobscot River to Bangor. (At least that was the initial itin.) Me matey, Jay (after some due diligence on boat companies in the Bucksport area) , chose Penobscot Boat Tours as our charter. Jay said the communication(s) with Capt. Jeff Sennett (Owner/Operator) was excellent; his boat was faster/stronger to get us to Bangor and back in the least amount of time; and, the price for a 4-hr charter was less than other quotes. Splendid!! It was a dreary start to Tuesday when we arrived at 11 am with weather not looking promising for a jaunt up to Bangor; windy, rainy and choppy waters on the menu. This daunted us not, though! So, "Gilligan" and the gang (that'd be Mr. and Mrs. Howell, and the Professor), arrived at the Bucksport Marina in good spirits for our "3-hr tour"... er, 4-hr tour at Penobscot Boat Tours! ;) The boat was very cool (as all boats are!), and the Capt. Jeff (our imposing "Skipper" for this tour) made us all feel very welcomed, in good hands, and rarin' to-go!! After some discussion about the weather and tour route, we all agreed to a downriver jaunt for lunch in Belfast, and return to home base. Prior to Belfast, though, we made a special request of our intrepid Capt. (despite the hairy weather that we could see going on upriver) to take us a few miles upriver to where the Marsh River confluences into the Penobscot River. The rough-n-tumble ride was, of course, E-Ticket! (In all honesty, though, the confluence was a bit anticlimactic, but the ride was awesome!) Anyway, we turned around and headed for what was to be drier climes. The weather improved immensely and made for some pretty alluring scenery! Normally, we just drive to Belfast (20 mins) mainly not seeing the water much, behind trees/forests and such. So, seeing the coastline from the water -- seeing all those privileged homes tucked and nestled in splendid nooks and crannies! -- was a totally new POV, that's for sure! Capt. Jeff would slowdown now-and-then to point spots of interest out to us, to see seals basking on rocky shoals, and numerous heads bobbing up-and-down in the middle of the bay was pretty darn awesome!!! When we got to Belfast, Capt. Jeff gave us a suggestion for lunch (which we took and enjoyed), while he waited. The trip back to Bucksport was leisurely and beautiful as the summer sun shone upon our last leg back. The whole experience of seeing the land from the water was just wonderful! We never felt rushed; Capt. Jeff was very generous with his time. It was SO worth the cost and, more so, the experience! We will definitely be chartering another trip in the near future with Penobscot Boat Tours...!!! We all had such a great time...!!! :D

    Booked our cruise the day before for a 4-hour trip and had a wonderful time cruising up to Bangor.read more
