At 8 AM the following day, I received a voicemail, an email, and a text message from the company stating that they were closed Monday and I should not have been allowed to make a reservation via their own website,. Obviously there would be a full refund, and they were very apologetic. I never received the refund and contacted them twice more during the next six days. Today I received an email from Benjamin. Tiederman stating that I would only be refunded 50%, which would not be received for another five days. This is fraud and theft, Along with basic incompetence and lack of ethics. I had to eventually submit a charge back to my credit card company, which will cost them extra money in fines instead of doing what they stated they would do.

Driving an electric boat was a first and it was easy. I've been boating since 2012 and driving this boat was not only easy but fun...and but the way despite sailing since 2012 I'm still slightly step above a novice. The Captain/owner is a great guy, professional, and thorough. I didn't think this was a thing for me where I would want to come back and do it again but I feel like I'll be back this summer. I highly recommend it! Great experience and the perfect way to celebrate a birthday.

This isn't the type of adventure you can show up to on a whim. You have to schedule a visit in advance. I scheduled a date and time over the phone. They took my credit card info, a contact number and my kids' names. The first date I scheduled was cancelled due to inclement weather. Pirate Adventures called and cancelled the adventure about three hours prior to when it was supposed to start. I elected to reschedule right then. I was instructed to arrive a half hour before our adventure so the kids could get their faces painted and pick out a sash. We parked on the street a few blocks away not realizing they have a parking lot. We checked in, the kids were given name tags with their name and an alliterative adjective (ie Zig Zag Zora and Kung Fu Kieran) and then reported to the face painting and sash picking area. After face painting kids and adults boarded the boat and the Chesapeake part of the adventure began. The captain went over a few safety measures with the adults while his assistant went through guidelines with the kids. The adventure has a whole story with different parts involved that kept the seven kids on our adventure entertained. Ages ranged from probably three to fourteen. These parts included a map search, treasure hunt, key finding expedition, pirate fight and a final pirate bounty quest. For the adults, we just hung out under a shaded portion of the boat. I got up to interact with my kids a few times and to snap some pictures. Mostly I just enjoyed the boat ride. The whole adventure lasted almost two hours (counting face painting). If you have kids that love to pretend and don't mind riding a boat, Pirate Adventures on the Chesapeake might be right up their alley.

I'm a member of the Flyer 9 PowerTime boat at SailTime Annapolis. I love SailTime! I evaluated…read moreseveral other options when I joined and SailTime had the best fleet options by far. The Annapolis location is especially great. There are regular social events, a great clubhouse, and incredible team to support everything. SailTime is remarkable at how quickly they address reported issues. Just yesterday I reported a few minor issues during my check off and they are already scheduled to be fixed tomorrow! Sailtime is really the best way to boat in my opinion. It's so nice to not have to worry about maintenance, winterizing, and all the other things that typically come with boat ownership. It's far cheaper than owning. Some things still could use improvement. Sailtime Plus, while extremely promising, isn't the most straightforward to use/book. I didn't hear back when I inquired about using it through the site. Building a better automated system for using SailTime Plus and checking availability at other locations would be awesome. I'd even plan trips around which locations had availability. There is one thing I would change if I ran SailTime. An additional charge pay-per-use option to have the boat prepped, stocked with sheets, refueled, docked, rinsed, and covers put back on. Not sure if there is enough interest in something like this to justify it but I'd definitely use and love it! Overall, I love my membership. I was worried I wouldn't feel like I got enough time on the boat but I don't feel like I've had any issues finding availability. I get plenty of use for my satisfaction. There are lots of days (especially weekdays) when the boat is completely unused. The other members are wonderful and take great care of the boat. I highly recommend joining!

Everyone was superb, professional, organized, and really went out of there way to make the entire 3 day / 2 night course such a great time. Capt.

My crew mates were excellent company. Accommodations were very comfortable -- a great sailing vessel. Upon returning to port (after slogging through a dreary, cold, rainy last day), Tammy had prepared delicious Crab Bisque and cookies! What service! Can't say enough about the experience!

The captain and the owner, Trevor, were responsive and helpful in booking and finding the location of where the boat docks. Would be so fun to bring the girls back for a gals night or even a bachelorette party. Can't wait to book again this summer and maybe even for the air show Ps - make sure you use the bathroom before you leave bc there isn't really one on the boat haha

The Captain and one crew member were really excellent. They made sure to cover critical aspects of the boat and abide by all the safety precautions. I actually timed the charter and we were on the water under sail for almost exactly 3 hours. We got there a little early, and the process of familiarizing us with the boat took a few minutes, so the entire process was probably closer to four hours. The boat was clean and in great shape. Some of the electronics we're not working but that was not an issue for our charter. We were provided with basic cold drinks and bagged treats as well as a bottle of wine. We own a Catalina 22 sailboat so we were familiar with sailing, but sailing a Catalina 42 Mark II was a lot different. I was thrilled that the captain offered me the opportunity to sail and tack the boat for an extended period, of course under his watchful eye and guidance. In short it was a very memorable experience and we had a blast! The wind and weather were perfect.
