Unfortunately it rained for our cruise. The crew responded well and passed out rain parkas to everyone. There wasn't much narrative on the cruise but the crew was eager to answer any questions. I'm sure that on a clearer day the views are amazing. We were able to see the islands and overall the cruise was fun in spite of the rain.

Our activity was fun and exciting. It was one of the highlights during my stay in Portland, Maine. The water was beautiful and the views were spectacular. I highly recommend taking time for a voyage on this sailboat. My son enjoyed sailing through the beautiful bay aswell.
