Booked this sunset sail as a birthday treat for my wife and brought along some friends including a 9 and 13 year old. I got a good feeling about this even over the phone from FL. When I asked if I needed to provide payment or deposit in advance, Captain Glenn said I only had to pay after a safe... More

We had a very pleasant sail and felt like we were with old friends. I was even allowed to pilot and help with the sails. Thank Glenn and Katie for a wonderful... More

But the reviews of those did not sound like what we were looking for - until we found the Friend Ship from the Whistling Man Schooner Company. It is a much smaller, much more personal and... More

We go every year, and it is always fun. This year we had perfect sailing weather. Not too hot, and a nice breeze. More

Although at first blush it seems more expensive @ $35 per head than the commercial boats it isn’t. First you can bring you own food ( we didn’t but will next time) and you... More

Every summer our Parrot Head group enjoys a sunset Cruise with Captain Glen and crew. It's a can't miss event for us and a highlight of summer in Vermont! The Captain and Crew are top notch and the vessel is absolutely gorgeous. Can't think of a better way to spend and evening in Burlington! More

Capt. Glen of the Friend Ship is an entertaining and experienced sailor. He willingly shares his knowledge of the lake and the people who use it. Deckhand Steve Norris is a wonderful story teller. I would recommend this trip to young and old alike. More
