​Wonderful sail on Lake Champlain with friends. Captain Diddy and Hannah were the best crew! Organized, professional, and prepared. We laughed, saw wonderful views, took beautiful pictures, and enjoyed every minute. I highly recommend this company for any sail.

The team was so friendly, informative and entertaining. The sunset cruise was magnificently perfect. The local history and folklore was so fun and interesting. A definite must do on anyone's list of things while in Burlington. They are prepared for everything with blankets, fleeces. They encourage you to bring beverages and snacks.

There are a few boats that take people out on Lake Champlain but none have the charm of this gaff-rigged vessel. A quiet ride on a beautiful lake between the Green and Adirondack mountains is a must-do when visiting the area. You can also bring your own food and beverages including beer or wine.
