I took my nieces and kids to the Isle from portsmouth for the half day trip. I wanted to be sure of a somewhat warm day because it can get cold on the water but the ship had inside seating. My son started eating immediately ( he's 13) and my nieces fought for a great view. Immediatly on the island... More

I have taken many cruises on this boat over the years. It's always terrific. Great staff, nice vessel, clean, good food and spirits. Would be nice if they could get on some nice healthy snack options such as veggie wraps, chicken as my only suggestion. I always have a wonderful time with good live music. I have yet to have...

The boat ride was nice and the information regarding area very informative. About a 3 hr tour but when you stop at star island to drop off passengers and we picked up eighty more people.

I'm not so sure he was happy about... More

I made a reservation at 5:30 the night before a 9:55am cruise. I received a confirmation of the reservation and believed I was all set. After driving over an hour and planning the whole day around this cruise, the office staff informed us that the trip had been cancelled because they didn't receive their web reservations. I don't understand why... More

A great way to spend an afternoon! We took the 3-hour tour (where have I heard that before?) out to the Isle of Shoals. Although you don’t actually disembark at the islands, they make for some nice sightseeing. The captain was very informative and, if I remember correctly, grew up on one of the islands so he had some great... More
