Enjoying the water.

My daughter and I took the afternoon boat ride and we were lucky to have a good wind to sail around the bay. The captain was very informative and his crew was very helpful in making sure the trip was a success. I apologize that I did not remember names. I actually helped host the sail and talked with the captain. There was also a couple of kids that took charge and stirred the boat. I got some great pictures and just enjoyed the experience.
As a side note was supposed to take the sunset cruise the night before but weather did not cooperate, but they were able to get us on the next day, thank goodness. Highly recommend this for a couple of hours of relaxation. Enjoy
I want my money back !

I want my money back ! The address was fictitious, there is no 86 Wharf Street. We could not find where to go, or even a place to park. My family dropped me off as they circled in the car so I could find the address on foot and there was no one around. We threw away 200 dollars on a disappointment, and we will never come back to Salem. We WILL fight to get our money back.
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Thanks for raising several important points. Traffic and parking are challenging in Salem, which we discuss in our confirmation email; the boat leaves on time; and guests will NOT receive a refund if they miss the boat. We are clear about this in all our communications with guests.
We also point out that although "86 Wharf Street" is not an actual address, it will put you right in front of our ticket booth at the Finz restaurant. Had you called us, we might have been able to help. Melissa was waiting in the booth with four tickets in her hand right up to departure time (and hung around for several minutes after) and we never heard from you.
Now, why do we not refund guests who miss the boat? This trip, the last public sail of the day, was sold out, and we were turning people away. To sail with four empty seats we could have easily filled causes us to lose money. It is not our fault when guests miss the boat, which is why you bear the loss, and not us.
VIATOR Customers! if you have never sailed with us before, DO click on on the "more information" link when you purchase your tickets, to make sure you get directions, advice, and info about your trip!
Great day on the water

When the engine was cut and the wind caught the sails- what freedom! The captain and crew were very friendly and answered all questions, especially about our location and the history of the ship and where we were sailing; islands, houses along the shoreline, etc.
Amazing!

My wife and I had the most amazing experience. Breathtaking was the view and the weather could not be any more perfect. The crew was knowledgeable, well disciplined and lead by an excellent captain. I recommend the experience for everyone!

The captain and crew were very engaging and knowledgeable of the ship and the harbor. They were eager to let passengers assist with the operations and provide instructions on what to do. The small number of passengers — along with the beautiful weather — made for a perfect sailing experience. Will definitely do this again if we come back this way.
A great experience wonderful trip

It was an excellent activity that incorporated history and fun. You can be interactive, helped put up sails, or relaxed, drank a local beer, as you want. Weather allowed us to take in the beautiful Salem sound. The crew definitely did an outstanding job.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
