My daughter and I had an absolute blast piloting the boat, and once we got over the fear factor that we were going "too fast" and gained confidence in piloting the boat for the first time, it felt like second nature. We did the 3 hour Mystic River tour which ended with a "free sail" hour at the end. However, we opted not to go out into the Sound due to heavily windy conditions, so we stayed in the channel in the "playground" area doing donuts and figure-eights. Before we knew it the 3 hours was up. Rob was a great host and he taught us how to pilot the boats in no time. He was also very knowledgeable of the Mystic seaport area. We had a great time and will absolutely be making this a regular part of our yearly Mystic trips!

The reviews were all highly praising and it looked like a fun experience. I have to say: don't hesitate! Book them! Rob was a pro guide and made sure we understood how to operate our boat safely and how to get the most fun out of it. Yes, there are safety things that you need to be aware of, but he was very encouraging of us trying out what the boat can do. We loved getting to do donuts in our boat! The tour itself was very informative, and we really got a feel for the area. We're already looking forward to returning for another season with a full group of friends to rent out all the boats. This is a must-do activity when visiting Mystic. Be sure to arrive on time as requested so that you can be briefed on the safety. That is so important, and that is why they tell you in advance that you will be turned away if you are late to the safety briefing. For those of you who may be wondering, there is ample parking, and it was about a 15-20 minute drive with traffic from downtown Mystic. Again, a huge thank you to Rob for being an awesome guide and helping us have the best experience possible for my husband's birthday surprise. Hope to see you again soon!

We were looking for an activity that would be fun for a multigenerational group of 23 people with toddlers, seniors, and everyone in between. We had been in communication with Oliver for months in advance. About two weeks before the big day, we saw that the forecast called for showers throughout Memorial Day weekend, particularly the Sunday of our planned cruise. We monitored the weather and decided to make a decision closer to the day. Throughout the entire process of planning, Oliver was responsive, reliable, accommodating, and kind. On the morning of the trip, Oliver gave us multiple options and worked with us to make sure that we could cancel and get a full refund due to the inclement weather. He provided us with agency up to the last hour of decision making. On a day that could have been really stressful, Oliver alleviated some of that stress. That is exceptional customer service, and that is the reason we will be coming back to the Argia for another special occasion. Highly recommend working with Oliver and his team if you get the chance!

It must have been a rough day for the captain and crew, because after we stopped and waited while Bonita II backed into her slip, my wife and I slowly pulled in to the dinghy dock next to Bonita, the captain poked his head out of the eisenglass enclosure on the flybridge and angrily demanded to know "Are you going to hit my boat?". Honestly, I thought he was joking at first but then saw his expression. The dockmaster looked embarrassed. His passengers looked tired and hot. I'm hoping it was just a bad day fo the captain, because his manner was rude and unprofessional. Not someone I could imagine spending the day with. Ever.

We thought that this event sounded fantastic and even though the weather forecast was iffy, we chanced it. And what a great choice! The staff was perfectly kind and friendly, as well as knowledgeable. There were captains and plenty of staff on hand, so all was well handled. It was super fun and the food was delicious! They cook it right there in the little brick grill and provided a buffet of New England clam chowder in mugs, basket of fresh soft rolls, three lovely fresh salads, and grilled chicken main or vegetarian. We were kept well hydrated by self serve coolers of water or lemonade and a huge ice chest. Even the picky little one ate! The watermelon fruit salad was especially stellar. Check out my pics. Well, the weather cooperated (they WILL sail rain or shine) and we so enjoyed the day. It was comfortable, relaxing and fun. What a beautiful late morning and afternoon. They don't get enough buzz around they're business. If your looking for New England sailing/cruising, this is just the best! A class act all the way. I would definitely do it again.

It was a nice sail with 50 other passengers and about 8 crew members, who were all very friendly. We were expecting slightly more from something touted a "Sunday Brunch" cruise, which cost $80/person. The food was very average. There was only one hot entree and the rest were cold Quiches. The hot entree was egg and sausage, and since I don't eat sausage I didn't have any choices for something hot. It was nice to have several options for salad and fruit. For a 3-hour cruise, I'd rather pay less money maybe around $40-50 bucks and forgo the Brunch. I've done other River cruises, but this one wasn't worth $80, in my opinion.
