Yet another beautiful trip on their sunset cruise! The captain and his crew were attentive, friendly and helpful. They gave us insights to the entire area and fielded questions with no hesitation. If you go to Ptown you must take the cruise! read more

Bay Lady II Excursion Schooner - Sunset cruise in the Baylady II - Boating Near Me - Provincetown, Massachusetts

Sunset cruise aboard the Bay Lady II is such a great experience. The 2 hour cruise takes you straight out the harbor, and back. But the fun of sailing on the water and seeing the sunset makes it memorable. You can bring drinks (beer, wine, water, other) and snacks. We had the pleasure of going out on a Tuesday night in July, and loved it. The Captain makes sure you get what you pay for, a beautiful sunset cruise. Plus, you will leave with hundreds of pictures. The crew was friendly, pleasant and always engaging. Buy your tickets early as they usually sell out. Thanks for another great sunset cruise! read more

The sunset cruise on the bay lady is a not to be missed experience while visiting Provincetown. The crew are very attentive, friendly and enjoy asking questions about the sites and possible marine wildlife spotting. Definitely add this to your to do list ! read more

Went on a sunset sail August 2020, goal to capture amazing photos. The perfect shot required moving across the deck; had been moving about freely till something was spilled on deck. Slid, fell, wrenched leg under a bench. The young worker was attentive. As I stood up to disembark realized I had an injury unlike any sports injury I ever experienced. I literally limped off the boat and slowly made it up the gangplank. No concern from the Captain, who watched me limp off the boat and up the ramp without saying a word or offering assistance. I had waited to go last to not show anyone else down. Urgent care the next day when the pain hadn't lessened. Turns out I fractured the top of my fibula and had to go home mid vacation and spend 6 weeks in a brace. I emailed to tell about the accident, thought they should know. Be clear, I neither intended nor took any legal action despite out of pocket costs approaching $1000. Would have been nice if someone had responded. read more

Bay Lady II Excursion Schooner - Boating Near Me - Provincetown, Massachusetts

My family and I have been on their 12:30 pm, 2 pm and sunset cruises. Every time we've gone, the crew has always welcomed us. When it is safe to do so, they allow and promote us to roam about the boat and take in our surroundings. They're very punctual about boarding and docking which is greatly appreciated for those trying to make the most of their time in Ptown. Can't go wrong with going on any of their cruises. Will always come back! read more

Magical evening with Captain Bob and crew aboard the BLII. Probably our 10th trip over the years. First trip without a full sunset and it was still a remarkable experience. The ocean was the roughest we had during all of our visits. Exhilarating! It's bring your own everything! People literally packed entire picnics. The trip takes a tad under 2 hours. Obviously, be smart and look at the weather before booking. Also, bring a jacket (even in July) and wear comfortable shoes (definitely no heels). We saw a whale and seals on our trip last night! Take the family and enjoy the stunning scenery. Do some homework on the area so you can identify the key landmarks as you venture out of ptown harbor. It's a sailboat trip...outside of the rules/regulations you're not getting any info on what you're seeing. Huge opportunity for the business. Some things to consider as you venture out.... The Pilgrims signed the Mayflower Compact in Ptown harbor (you could be passing the very spot as they landed here FIRST). Longpoint (tip of cape with lighthouse) was a village in the early-mid 19th century, with homes, a school, church and many businesses. Cue up the Jaws movie soundtrack...the great whites are booming! Yes, because of the exploding seal population, great white sharks have returned to the water around ptown. Many are tagged and have even ventured into the harbor! Overall it's always a magical experience. Thank you Captain Bob and crew! read more

We've been sailing with the Bay Lady II for years and it's our favorite part of going to P-Town! Crew is wonderful. The boat is lovely. And we're allowed to bring our own snacks on board. We look forward to seeing them every year! read more

If your looking for a nice quiet somewhat romantic thing to do while in the chaos of p-town then this is for you. Bring a nice cooler with your favorite beverage and a picnic lunch or snack. It's very relaxing when the captin and crew cut the engine just outside the harbor and hoist the four sails to the heavens. As we sailed towards the sand doon's of Truro the captin gladly explained where were in the bay to familiarize us with the land. Very beautiful views of the shore and bay. Captin and crew very friendly and professional. This in my opinion is the best deal in town. Happy sailing!! read more

This experience lived up to everything I wanted it to be! The boat crew and captain were friendly! They made sure you had the perfect sunset views. The sails were amazing! The crew offered for us to move around the boat with a cushion then when the sun went down they offered blankets! Amazing experience! read more

This is one of the "must do's" when in Ptown. Its a fun and relaxing way to get out of the hot crowded beaches and out onto the cool water. We went on the morning cruise - only 6 others had purchased tickets ($28) so it was like a private cruise. 2 hours to sail down to Truro and back. Capt Bob is great, and a fascinating story teller. We saw a whale in the harbor as an extra bonus read more

I've been on this a couple of times now. It's just so nice and relaxing. Capt Bob is a very nice and humorous person. The crew is also as nice, feel free to chat up any of them. I make it a necessity now when I'm in P-Town to try to get out on it. At the time of sail the last time my 4 person party was the only ones booked and they informed me they would take us out anyways, there ended up being 4 other people. I know just taking 8 ppl out on a 40 passenger boat is not very profitable so I give them huge kudos for being more concerned about their customers being happy over the almighty dollar. Here's a few pointers.. You can bring on board food/drink and/or alcohol. I take a cooler with me with frosty ones (yes there's a head for us beer drinkers lol.) They sell chips and water on board for like $1.00 each, not bad seeing they have you captive and could jack prices up hehehe. Check the weather forecast, They cancel if winds are sustained 25 mph or more. This has happened to me, but they did call the prior night and informed me which was appreciated. Have a bit of cash on hand. You'll want to tip them because they are so pleasant. Once the sails are set and ropes stowed away,They will give you permission to move about anywhere on the schooner. Enjoy. PS... If you are wondering how long the schooner is (I couldn't find out online anywhere and had to ask Cpt Bob) it's 73 feet. read more

We had a lovely 2 hour sail on a HOT late August day on the Bay Lady 2 (a Schooner in the true sense - jib and all) from Provincetown Harbor. It cost $22 each for adults and $12 for our 5 year old. Water and Chips are available on board for $1 each. The captain and his wife (First mate) another mate and his 3 kids were aboard and the Captain's young son helped rig the sails as well. Conditions were ideal for a sun-filled midday sail. We enjoyed it very much, but a but more "narrative" from the crew would have been nice. We are tourists and expected more of a tour. The crew said very little to us during the sail exept for the safety briefing and when it was ok to stand up and move about. Meanwhile our 5 year old scrambled right to the front and with the wind in her face and her hair felt truly like "King of the World" - or in her case Princess. BRING A HAT and SPF 1 Million. (we used 45 - it wasn't enough.) read more

The boat was beautiful. The sunset was amazing. Cool to see a real sail crew work together. Wish there was a bar on the boat as there have been on a few other boats I've taken tour cruises on. We got to see seals and explore a bit. Was a lot of fun! read more

Wonderful afternoon sail with Captain Bob, his wife Kate and son Timothy. Couldn't be nicer folks. The boat is beautifully maintained with real love and attention to detail. And the cruise was lovely. Highly recommend. read more

Great sunset cruise with very friendly and knowledgeable crew. Able to being your own food and beverages which was great for the sunset cruise. read more

Great service! Great boat! They were able to accommodate my big group of 18. This was our 2nd time and will keep coming back!

Excellent relaxing sail! Crew was friendly and knowledgeable. Well worth the reasonable ticket price. Would absolutely recommend.

Perfect evening with the Super Moon on the Bay Lady II! $33 per person (adults) and you can BYOB and food. Beautiful schooner and great captain and mates. I wouldn't recommend the sunset cruise for small children only because the waves can be a bit much and the atmosphere leans toward a good time :) You won't be disappointed! read more

A great cruise. We went in afternoon and boat was not full so we could move around a lot. They let you go all around the boat and crew and captain are helpful and friendly. The price is right. On top of that they stress you are free to bring your own refreshments of any kink. But if you don"t, they have snacks and drinks for $1 each - a convenience rather than a profit center. Visiting Ptown it makes a lot of sense to get out in the bay and this is an ideal way to do it. read more

We highly recommend The Bay Lady II. Such a wonderful, relaxing sail. We did the Sunset Sail and it was really wonderful. Captain Bob and the crew were so nice and accommodating. My family and I have been sailing with Captain Bob for many years and we can't say enough good things about this excursion!! Definitely bring some wine and snacks and enjoy the incredible views of P-Town and the sunset!! read more

I took this sunset cruise with my fiancé and we had very different experiences and opinions of it. Pros: My fiancé absolutely loved the cruise. The sunset was gorgeous and it was awesome seeing it from the water. The cruise was BYOB and people brought tons of food (including pizza and cake!) and drinks (including wine and beer). You could walk around the boat, which afforded many different views of the water and sailboat. Cons: I was completely miserably seasick. I have been on many boats before (though not a sailboat on the ocean) and have never experienced seasickness before, but found myself completely nauseous and dying for it to be over. A few other people on the boat were also sick and got sick (the water was rough that day and it was very windy). If you are going to take this excursion, I recommend taking seasickness medication a few hours before. Also, I should mention that the crew was not very friendly--the captain was basically speaking a different language and no one knew what was going on. This was not a tour by any means...you are kind of just on your own. read more
