This was our second outing on the Pineapple Ketch, and it was quite calm... I would have to say that we preferred our first outing about three years ago. We loved our captain, and his charming first mate, but on the last outing the first mate was a young fellow who was so informational it was amazing - lots of... More

We had a couple of hours to fill before a destination wedding and this was a great way to enjoy some relaxing time in the sun. Captain and mate were polite, friendly and competent with the boat. Not much on tourist type info on what we were sailing past up the coast and not too much wind in this particular... More

What is better than a relaxing vacation to the Northeast? An even more relaxing sail on the waters off of Kennebunkport with Christo and crew (on our trip, it was Amanda). Christo and Amanda were amazingly friendly and down-to-earth, taking time to answer even the most simplistic of questions. They did not overwhelm us by talking the entire time, but... More

Captain Christos offers 3 two hour sails as well as the opportunity to charter his boat. We did the sunset cruise (5-7 PM, not quite sunset) on a warm, cloud-free day. He has 12 passengers on his sailboat with a crew of one other ( Amanda ). Leaving KBPT and going past many boats, St. Anne's church, Walkers Point and... More

My husband and I have had the pleasure of sailing with Captain Christos on several occasions and we've always enjoyed the sails immensely. The crew is friendly and knowledgeable with just enough commentary. It's a must when visiting Kennebunkport and well worth the money. We can't wait to do it again!

Captain Christos is an excellent sailor and host. The ketch is beautiful and welcoming. We had a large enough party to reserve the entire boat for an evening sail. We had excellent winds and a lively and fun sail. Everyone had a blast.

We were married in Aug of 2009 and went on a Sunset Cruise with Capt Cristo. I couldn't remember a more memorable evening. Hot when we left, cool water during the sail and a beautiful sunset. We were buzzed by Pres Bush and his agents and pulled up next to us for 10 minutes off our stern. What a thrill.... More

Based upon reviews I had read on Trip Advisor, we decided to take the two hour trip. My wife and I both had a really nice time. The Captain and First Mate were very nice, and even though they didn't offer a lot of conversation during the trip, they answered questions from our group throughout. We saw some lobster trap...

Captain John and the first mate were friendly, inviting and created a fun enviroment. They were extremely knowledgable about the lobster industry and the local points of interst. The sailboat is the perfect size, we had twelve passengers with plenty of room to move around the boat. Anyone who wanted could steer the boat and Captain John gave execellent on... More
