Thanks Captain and 1st mate who took a wonderful picture of all of us!

I have nothing but good things to say about this ship and its Captin! For starters I was running late and the captin called me on my cell phone asking if we're going to make it. I appreciate him taking the time to do that! Also he waited for us for a few minutes which he did not have to do!
Thank you guys for making our vacation!
And im sorry for holding you guys up, I promise I just misread the ticket!!!!

Great sunset cruise tonight. The weather couldn’t have cooperated any better. Beautiful, cloud scudded skies and the perfect amount of wind for a good sail. Our captain and mate, Kim and Scott could not have been better. Scott shared interesting facts and stories about the area. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend Downeast Rover for a relaxing ride. Another positive - bring your own food and beverage!
