A must do tour in Branford. The tour is 90 minutes in very calm water around the Thimble islands. Our captain, Justin, did a great job explaining the history of the islands, some inhabited, some not, all very unique. It is such an enjoyable tour for tourists as well as locals hosting friends and family.

This trip was -as everyone says- a fun way to spend 45 minutes. One person in our party was actually from Ct and had never heard about the Thimble Islands. The tour was very informative and we immediately looked up the properties on Zillow when we got back to check the facts—all 100% accurate. This is a “must do” if you enjoy boat tours and history.

Really enjoyed this cruise around the Thimble Islands. The captain/narrator was very pleasant and knowledgeable and kept on schedule. The boat was clean; staff was great and the rum punch was delicious! Highly recommend this cruise.

Went whilst visiting my daughter who lives locally. She has been on this boat before for a work event. I loved it all. Found the speaker very informative and amusing. We could buy drinks on board at reasonable prices. Wasn’t overcrowded. A lovely trip out for a great price. Well done.

Listen to the history and lore of these hidden gems, the Thimble Islands. The ship's charasmatic captain shares all the details. Bring your own snacks and beverages for a picnic on the deck. If you forget your refreshments, the ships mate will supply.

We went as a group of four. We purchased tickets in advance for a later cruise however were able to get the earlier slot when we arrived ahead of schedule . There was little room available on the upper deck, so chose to stay inside. We had a BLAST! We had the whole place to ourselves and were able to make noise and not inconvenience others. The tour guide was great with the explanations of each and every island. Kudos to the whole crew!!! Thanks for a great and memorable trip !

My husband and I took the tour the 4:15 tour. Easy to find if you put the address in your GPS. We were lucky and had no issues parking close. All you need is you QR code send for them to scan you in as you go to board. Loved looking at all the islands & houses. Some aww simple while others are elaborate. Some you can rent as well. 2 islands have a nice little community. Overall we loved seeing & hearing about the islands. Looks like a nice little town as well. Highly recommend!!

We recently took a cruise around the Thimble Islands with the Sea Mist. It was informative, fun and well organized. The young men working on the boat were excellent with assisting older folks entering and exiting the boat to ensure their safety.

This cruise is a great way to visit the Thimble Islands. The views are amazing, as well as the stories about all of the real estate. The Captain and crew were friendly and courteous. We felt like we were on a mini vacation on a hot and humid summer Friday!

My husband and I have been on this cruise twice. The first time was in early summer, 2022, and in the rain. That was ok, because, we were shielded from the rain by staying on the lower level of the craft. Then, we took family from out of town on the cruise in early August, 2024. It was a sunny, hot, and cloudless day, which is better for viewing. The cruise is delightful and entertaining. As the boat meanders around the islands, the cruise' s skipper, host and narrator explains a bit about the history of the small islands and the houses and structures that sit on top of them. a Definately, a must see when on the Connecticut shoreline.
