My sister and I have sailed many times with Captain and crew and each time is the best!!!!! Always a very stress relieving adventure from everyday life.

As a gift to my husband to celebrate our anniversary, we took a three day sail on the Chesapeake in October 2008. It was a very nice trip. The prices were extremely reasonable, we had a great cabin, the food was amazing, and the entertainment top notch. Geoff Kaufman (the professional folk musician) entertained for three concerts every day. (The... more

My wife and I just spent a great Columbus Day weekend aboard the schooner Mystic Whaler on the Chesapeake Bay. Of note was the sail on Saturday, October 10, from Baltimore to St. Michaels, Maryland (http://www.stmichaelsmd.org/).

I can't... more

I have been privileged to sail on the Mystic Whaler several times, as tourist, photographer, Clearwater volunteer, guest, and even crew-by-courtesy. It has been a wonderful experience every time. The ship is beautiful, and Captain John and his crew really make the event. Captain John is ever personable, and unflappable; he has an incredible fund of knowledge not only of... more

Scenery, birdwatching, clams right out of the water. Everything tastes great on the deck of a schooner. I loved my cozy little cabin and, of course, the captain! What a great storyteller. This turned out to be the perfect getaway for my overworked self and my adventure loving husband. They even let us help sail the boat! more

We had a great time aboard the Mystic Whaler. The captain and crew were a wealth of information. The food was very good and plentiful. The trip from Kingston to New York city went to fast. We highly recommend a trip with these folks. more
