    Sunset perfection

    Truly an amazing one of a kind experience. Read this review and go book your vacation. You won't be sorry. Captain Noah and crew are spectacular and amazing to watch handle such a majestic vessel.

    Just back from a wonderful sail on this great 151 year old wooden schooner. The boat is maintained in excellent condition, the Captain and crew are focused on making sure passengers have a great time and the food is unbelievable. You would never expect such great fare could come from a wood stove in a schooner galley but it does. Guests are welcome to pitch in, raising and trimming sail and even manning the anchor windless...or just sit back and watch. If you have a sense of adventure this is a great way to enjoy the beauty of the Maine coast.

    Celine on the Tabor and her sister ship Ladona is one of the best vacations you will ever take!! The crew will take care of you like it's a five-star restaurant and the food is incredibly delicious. Stunning days sailing and wonderful evenings anchored in a secluded cove somewhere, complete with a lobster bake on shore one night, will make this one of your repeat destinations.

    Don't miss this chance to LIVE OUT floating history on the oldest documented continuously operating sailing vessel. Sailed on a 5-night cruise with friends on their second Stephen Taber trip because they chose to get married onboard this time! Captain Noah and crew offered an adventure we will remember forever. Amazing food, lobster feast on the beach, harbors and lighthouses, musica Americana, and the ability to hoist and rig with the crew. They were all first rate. We can't wait to return.

    Amazing trip!! Doesn't matter if you have never sailed or you are a pro. The captain and crew were phenomenal. The food was next level! I can't wait to go back!!

    Do not use Ocean Pursuits!!…read more Horrible experience at this yard. They overcharge and nickle and dime you to death. First, they wouldn't let me bring in a 3rd party to shrinkwrap my boat which is understandable. But then they charged me nearly the cost of winter storage to do it! Then in the spring they charged me again to take away the plastic! Now the worst of it. I requested an estimate to have my mast and boom painted. I received an estimate of $3,100-$3,500 in writing (which took 3 months to get). I gave the go ahead and let them know that it was barely in my budget. Without any notice, I got invoices totaling $9,000! When I called to ask about this they tried to justify it with man-hours worked and materials. I got threatened that my boat would be held until what was due was paid in full! This is why I asked for an estimate! I understand that their are sometimes extras when you get into it, but a good boat yard will hit their estimate or be very close to it. Do not use Ocean Pursuits. I should have done diligence and asked around about them first. I have since learned that this is how they always do business.
