This tour was definitely a highlight of our trip! Captain John and Charlie were great and all the passengers aboard had a great time! We passed three lighthouses-Peck Ledge LH, Sheffield Island LH and Green's Ledge LH. Charlie, co-captain of Captain John, had just toured the inside of Green's Ledge LH the day before which is listed on Airbnb for $6,000! He went around the ship showing everyone the floor plan. It especially exciting to be on the Long Island Sound and to see the red and white towers from Northport, since I live on Long Island!! We were able to see several different viewpoints of the sunset and osprey nests as well. Definitely recommend to residents of Norwalk AND tourists alike!

What a treat! If you live in the area, you need to put this on your summer to-do list. I've lived…read morein the area for five years but didn't learn about this cruise until this summer. Be warned, book tickets online and in advance. They sold out for day/time we wanted to take the cruise, but there were 20 tickets still available the night before. Plan accordingly. We arrived for a 3:30 cruise on a beautiful August afternoon. The cruise seemed to be full, and there was a mix of couples and families on the boat. The boat ride is smooth and relaxing. The boat staff was offering a "guided" tour, but it was tough to hear, so I gave up trying and just enjoyed the experience of being out on the water. The boat ride is about 30 - 40 minutes each way. You won't get wet, at least we didn't, and there are enough seats/room for everyone. Once you arrive at the island, you have about 1.5 hours to explore. They have a guided lighthouse tour, a small concession stand, a small beach (not one that you would lay out at, so no need to bring a suit), volleyball courts, nature trails, etc. This entire experience is set up to be calm and relaxing. There isn't too much to do on the island, but that's kind of the point. You are only there for 1.5 hours, and there's no way you can get that bored in that period. Just unwind and take in the scenery for a few minutes, it will clear your mind. They offer limited food at the concession stand, but you can always bring your own snacks as well. Next time, I will bring a few snacks for us, especially since our trip was over dinner time. The bugs - BEWARE. They don't spray for mosquitos, and as a result, they are everywhere. I didn't know bugs would be a problem in advance, but the cruise provides spray upon arrival for free! I brought my own SPF, but they also provided that as well. The staff is lovely and do anything they can to make your experience as pleasant as possible. This is the perfect low-key day trip, and I highly recommend it to anyone in the area.

What a fun time! Captain Frank and Erin were such great hosts to our very first expedition on the…read morenew Stamford Pedal Cruise. The name of the boat is the Pier Pressure II. I have been on the Milford Pedal Cruise before and both are just a super fun way to get together with a group of 22 of your friends and have a great time on the water. Here are some things you'll need to know: The Pier Pressure II is Stamford's only pedal powered party boat operated on Stamford Harbor and goes out into the Long Island Sound. It's a 90 minute excursion that is perfect for corporate outings and team building, as well as office, bachelorette, family, friends and birthday celebrations. It fits 26 guests at 12 pedaling stations & benches, a bar table, coolers, has a bluetooth stereo and also a bathroom. Private Cruises begin at $749 and Public Cruises are sold by the ticket, starting at $55, and seat up to 22 passengers. Guests do tip the Captain & First Mate since they rely on it to pay their bills. Suggested tip for Private Cruises: $200-300 and $10-15 per person for Group Cruises. BYOB! Drinks - beer, wine, hard seltzers, ciders, canned cocktails and the like are suggested. Please avoid bringing glass on board. Only guests 21 years of age or older may bring or consume alcoholic beverages. Don't forget some water. Bring Ice - they do not provide ice :) Bing Snacks - keep in mind it can be breezy on the boat. Cups, utensils, plates, napkins, etc - we do not carry these onboard, so please bring what you need and consider bringing reusable items to help the environment and reduce trash. Depending on the time of year and weather, don't forget your sunscreen, sunglasses, rain poncho or jacket. It does get cooler on the water- so bring a hoodie :) Lastly- free parking can be found at the Harbor Point Garage at 855 Pacific Street, Stamford, CT 06902 located between Washington Blvd & Harbor Point Rd. Other parking options include street parking and the lot at 200 Washington Blvd. They highly encourage using Uber, Lyft & taxi services, as well as the Metro North Train, a 15 min walk to the meeting location. Their waiting area is located at 1 Harbor Point Rd, Stamford, CT 06902 down the steps and under the blue canopy. You'll see Pedal Cruise signs along the way. Staff will let you and your group down to the boat through a locked gate when the boat is ready for boarding. Please do not enter through the gate without a Pedal Cruise staff member since it is private property. Cheers and have the best time! We sure did!

Absolutely Fabulous!!!…read more Well worth it!!! $40 for a two hour VERY pleasant trip up just shy of West Point and back. Oh and the first drink is a free margarita!!! Yummmy!!! Topside and interior tables. DJ, full bar, and dance floor. Finger food to order for the ride and an AMAZING crew!!! Hats off to the Captain for allowing the visit to the pilot house! Thank you!!! Folks this was amazing!!! My only request would be to go actually and turn at west point or Bannerman. It adds an hour. But that I think would make it perfect!!! Anyway, this last note is to the young crewman interested in joining the Navy, remember what I told you, it is what YOU make of it! Best of luck to you and look forward to greeting you as Shipmate!

Once at Dockside, it's easy to find with good signage and Dockside staff willing to point you in the right direction. The ticket price is for the 1 1/2-hour boat ride only; however, you can bring your own drinks (no hard liquor) and food on board. There are some snacks and non-alcoholic beverages for purchase on the boat as well. The boat is fitted with stools around a wraparound counter and some comfortable bench seats in the front of the boat. The captain and first mate were welcoming and helped make this a relaxing, enjoyable experience! If you are someone who enjoys being on the water, I would highly recommend trying out a twisted tiki cruise!

We had a nice time. Beautiful night on Saturday. Just as some feedback though I would warn people…read morethat are sitting on the benches that anything on the floor will get wet so do not leave any bags, etc. on the ground. Every time we hit waves about an inch of water came up the back of the boat all the way up to the bar stools and people's bags all got wet. I had to sit the entire ride with my feet up as they were getting soaked. I do think for $60 something should be included too like a drink. Maybe consider getting a liquor permit because at the end the captain made an announcement that guests on other rides were bringing their own liquor back to Dockside after they got off the boat. Seems like the process needs to be streamlined a bit better. We were also told to get there at 5:45 only to wait until 6:00 to board. I probably would only seat 20? 25? as 30 people we were sitting on top of each other.
