Captain Christos is an excellent sailor and host. The ketch is beautiful and welcoming. We had a large enough party to reserve the entire boat for an evening sail. We had excellent winds and a lively and fun sail. Everyone had a blast. More

We were married in Aug of 2009 and went on a Sunset Cruise with Capt Cristo. I couldn't remember a more memorable evening. Hot when we left, cool water during the sail and a beautiful sunset. We were buzzed by Pres Bush and his agents and pulled up next to us for 10 minutes off our stern. What a thrill.... More

Based upon reviews I had read on Trip Advisor, we decided to take the two hour trip. My wife and I both had a really nice time. The Captain and First Mate were very nice, and even though they didn't offer a lot of conversation during the trip, they answered questions from our group throughout. We saw some lobster trap...

Captain John and the first mate were friendly, inviting and created a fun enviroment. They were extremely knowledgable about the lobster industry and the local points of interst. The sailboat is the perfect size, we had twelve passengers with plenty of room to move around the boat. Anyone who wanted could steer the boat and Captain John gave execellent on... More

I always had a problem with motion sickness, but I wanted so badly to take the 2 hour sail on the ketch. Well, I took my Dramamine and used my sea bands and still got sea sick. That being said, the sail was beautiful. It was a sunny day with a cool breeze. Christo and Shane were very knowledgeable about... More

Everything about the Pineapple Ketch is first rate. The boat has wonderful character. The captain and first mate couldn't be nicer. They even let the kid's steer the boat; the highlight of their trip. Highly recommend! More

Loved the Pineapple Ketch and John and Holly. She is docked behind the Nonantum Resort with plenty of free parking. Our day was foggy but on a nice day, it would be a great, fun adventure. John is so knowledgeable about the water on which he sails and the lobster industry. Try it...good value. More

The Pineapple Ketch sails from the Nonantum Resort. You can park in their lot. We took the sunset sail - 2 hours. You must see kennebunkport from the water! The crew were very friendly and the sail was wonderful. We took a bottle of wine and enjoyed the 2 hour sail. The route we took went past Walker Point (George... More
