He raved about his experience and it showed. It was a great value. My 12 year old daughter was a bit freaked out about going in the water at all, but Captain Mark said he would just dip her toes. He had so much control, he literally just dipped her toes. Great sites, great experience and great staff. I would recommend this to any one going to the Vineyard or anyone looking for a real experience.

We had a GREAT time sailing on Ishmael when we were on the Vineyard. The boat is an old, true…read morewooden schooner built in 1929, so it's beautiful and has a lot of character. Captain Fred was so much fun (kind of a character himself!) and he's really knowledgable and indulged all my questions, telling me about how the boat works and teaching us a lot. We sailed from Vineyard Haven around Oak Bluffs and then moored near State Beach so we could all jump off the boat and go swimming. We had lunch on the boat and then sailed back. I highly recommend Ishmael for anyone who wants a unique, and genuine experience. Since the boat is privately owned, there is nothing commercial about it and you get a real sense of sailing the way the locals do it. And if there's good wind, there is nothing like skimming through the waves, feeling the spray of the ocean, as you take in the beautiful view.

We did multiple loops of the harbor with John who pointed out interesting sites along the way and a seal in the water!

A great adventure with Erik and Paul, both of whom are knowledgeable, interesting, and helpful…read more With a pre-teen child, we wanted a somewhat lower-key morning trip on a pond, and it was exactly what we hoped for. Our guides were happy to chat when we wanted to, and just as willing to let us be a little separate from the group when that's what we wanted. But they always kept an eye on everyone. While my wife has kayaked before, I hadn't, but this has made me eager to come back to them. They are thinking of more kinds of trips to offer--can't wait to see what they come up. Thanks Eric & Paul for creating a great part of our MV vacation.

Six months after my kayak experience, I discovered the Groupon coupon that I used wasn't processed…read morebecause I didn't supply the correct page and I owed more money. That in itself wouldn't be so terrible but I found out because they called my PARENTS instead of me to collect this money. I find that wildly invasive especially since I'm happy to pay any money I owe as long as I'm told I owe it! While the tour was great I found this incredibly upsetting because not only was my privacy invaded but my original credit card information I supplied them has clearly been lost. Too bad because the tour was great. I'd be cautious using this company-if you do, don't supply them with your credit card information because they mismanaged that information. Be careful using groupons or they might call your parents!

We waited 1.5 hours at the Washington St rental shack and no one came to rent us a kayak. I called…read morethe number on the sign 4 times and only got voicemail. Sign said open 9-5. The kayak bins and all were open and it was clear someone had opened the place and left. We were there late morning through early afternoon. We even swung back by at 230 in case the person had gone to lunch. Gotta be honest: My daughter and I were on the island for two days and we spent the second day explicitly to go kayaking. The weather was calm and dry. We wasted hours of our time at a business that couldn't be bothered to answer their phone or have a person on duty. I wish I could put zero stars. Don't bother to have a business if this is how you operate. I will spread the word that everyone I know on the island should steer clear. Atrocious.
