My wife and I took the Sunset sail from Key West this past Sunday evening. Absolutely beautiful boat! Captain Andy and crew Missy and Brian were great! Never dreamed I'd ever have a chance to pilot an 80' boat!! A bit of tacking would have been fun, but that is understandably not the purpose of this type of adventure. Hope... more

We did a sunset cruise on the Adirondack II in November, 2009 down in Key West (her winter home). Fantastic experience. The crew were great, the skipper was entertaining, and all in all it was one of the best things we did while on the island. Not a bad sailing boat either, could get up and run fairly nicely! Thanks... more

After reading several review about this attraction, I made sure we bought tickets to use this company for a Harbor Cruise. Unfortunately for us the ship was pretty full, so we could not hear the Captain because he was soft spoken and did not have a mic. The Captain used the motor to get us out of the marina, but... more

My boyfriend and I sailed on the Adirondack for the sunset sail. We absolutely loved it! The crew Garrett and Leslie were amazing, so friendly and informative about the sights to see in Newport. Garrett told us about a great resturant and Leslie answered all of out questions about sailing and the adirondack. For me being a woman having another... more

We took the 11am tour and it was fantastic. Only 12 tourists on the 60 seat boat. Very friendly and knowledgable staff who pointed out many sights and had many stories to tell. My teenage boys got to steer as much as they wanted.... while the rest of us just enjoyed the ride and our $1 (!) beverages... more

Great Fun!

We had the best time during our vacation on this boat. Our 3pm sail was very light (only 1/3 full), so my wife and I both got a chance to steer--a must if you get the chance! The 3 person crew was very knowledgeable and personable. more

We stepped on the Adirondack (didn't know it was numero dos) and knew it would be a joy ride. And she sure didn't disappoint. The schooner is a beautiful boat and the tour out and around the harbor was wonderful. The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, and the drinks were flowing! We filled up on $1 coronas and... more

We had a great time aboard the Adirondack 2. The Captain and Crew were very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. Drinks were only $1!! The sailing was good and the ride was very relaxing. I would highly reccomend a sail on Adirondack 2. -Ben more

Four of us, including two teenagers 16 and 19 took the afternoon trip the first week of June. It was early in the season so there were only eight of us on the boat that holds 60. Wind wasn't too strong so we had to motor out quite a way into the harbor. Once there though, we sailed for almost... more

I've sailed half way around the world and I've never seen a harbor with so many perfectly maintained classic yachts. The funny, skilled, informative captain sails right through the anchorage. You could reach out and touch the gleaming wooden hulls. The schooner looks like an old gaff rig and the crew works hard to raise the sails as fast as... more
