We had a fabulous time, the crew was very congenial and made us feel right at home. The ship was amazing, the weather couldn't have been better and we'll spread the word on your Schooner Cruises to our friends. It's a great way to have a relaxing outing with friends. Thank you to our Captain for keeping us safe out there and to his crew, all very professional but still very friendly.

Question: I purchased the Schooner sail in Boston for my parents. In the description is says the "America" is based on a 19th century design. Are there bathrooms on the ship?

Question: My girlfriend bought us on a Schooner Sail in Boston. I've gotten seasick on boats before, but not every time. How steady is this cruise?
