We had the most incredible experience aboard the Nirvana with Captain Rick. Prior to the event,…read morecommunication was wonderful. The booking process was very easy. We were enthusiastically welcomed on board the beautiful vessel. The day was pristine and the water was calm and peaceful. We were regaled with tales of Captain Rick's adventures as we took a pleasurable journey to Long Island to Louie's Seafood restaurant, also amazing but that's for another review. I could not recommend this more. Captain Rick is knowledgable, engaging, funny and a fine captain and human being. We are definitely going to do this again!

They came out to my house, replaced my rear tire, both front and rear brake pads, and finally performed a general tune-up, in the course of which they fixed my front shock absorbers that they discovered were broken.

We drive up to Norwalk (we live an hour away) and 20 min before the lesson they cancel because there was no instructor to teach. What a joke. I think they have high school kids working there with no expertise with customer service or running a business. Don't waste your time.

IF I COULD LEAVE ZERO STARS I WOULD…read more I am a Marine Corps Veteran with a REGISTERED Service K-9. I was refused service without consideration and berated by who I am assuming was the owner or manager in front of other patrons and the staff. Let start from the beginning. Norwalk Sailing School lies within a park that charges for parking for non Norwalk residents (which was not disclosed on there website). This park also prohibits pets. So, after paying to get into the park and verifying my K-9's credentials we were in. We then arrived at Norwalk Sailing School. I left my K-9 in the truck while we payed and filled out paperwork. This was to avoid any crowds and children that my be over curious of the K-9. After the paperwork was done the young man told me it would be about 30 min. Which I was fine with because we didn't have a reservation but were still getting the boat we wanted. So we returned to the truck to get our things and my K-9. We then proceeded to walk around the sailing school and to watch the other people and boats. After about 20 mins we then walked back into the staging area to get ready. As soon as we got there an older, short, tan gentleman who I am assuming is the owner or manager began berating me without warrant or instigation. "THAT DOG CANT BE HERE." "MY INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER DOGS/PROPERTY." "WHAT SERVICE COULD A DOG PROVIDE ON A BOAT?" "I DONT WANT IT TO DAMAGE MY PROPERTY." "IT WONT BE COMFORTABLE ON A BOAT ANYWAYS." "YOUR JUST TRYING TO BE SLIPPERY." "I DON'T CARE IF ITS A SERVICE ANIMAL, GET IT OUT OF HERE." "GET OUT OF HERE." So we went to LONGSHORE SAILING SCHOOL instead. There the staff was very considerate, and helpful. And gave me or my K-9 any problems. Oh yeah and it ended up being cheaper also. I highly recommend LONGSHORE SAILING SCHOOL.

Can't emphasize enough how good Connor and his team were for this trip. We were here on a boys…read moreweekend and booked a 4 hour experience for all watersports. Connor was flexible and even shifted around the day when we had bad weather. On the actual boat, he is a consummate pro who both hung with our group but was able to give invaluable instruction on how to actually do the water sports. The boats were high end and prices were very reasonable. Can't recommend them enough.

Good evening, I am writing as a deeply angry and disgusted…read moreparent. Today, when I picked up my son Leonardo, I was informed he had SLEPT ON THE COLD TILE FLOOR because he was "hot." That explanation alone is UNACCEPTABLE, but it gets worse. He was WET when I picked him up this afternoon--his hair, his pants, his coat--completely soaked. And when I asked why, not a single staff member could give me an answer. "I don't know" is NOT an acceptable response when a child is returned to their parent in that condition. The lack of accountability, the carelessness, and the indifference are beyond disappointing--they are DISGUSTING. As someone with experience working in multiple daycares and schools, I know that if a 3-year-old refuses to sleep on a cot, you don't allow them to lay on a cold, dirty floor like an animal. You comfort them, you redirect them, and you provide care. The fact that this didn't happen is a complete failure on your part. Even a dog gets a bed. My son deserved far better than this. And yes, I will say it--had Leonardo not been a young Black boy, I believe this situation may have been handled with more compassion and urgency. He was neglected. There's no other word for it. Let me ask you this: How would you feel if you found out your child took a nap on the cold floor? Or picking him up wet and not exactly given an actual clear explanation ? If he was uncomfortable, if he was upset, if something happened--WHY wasn't I called? As his mother, I should have been informed immediately. Instead, he was left in that condition, and no one took responsibility. This is not just poor care. This is unacceptable. This is disgusting. This is neglect. Leonardo will NOT be returning to your center. I will also be reporting this incident to corporate and taking further steps as necessary. I expect a written explanation, not excuses. Do better!!!!! This is my review and what happened to my child

His teachers have been phenomenal and so patient with him. Special thanks to Mariah and Diamond who had him in toddlers, Amy in Twos and Alyssa and Rachel in EP.

They were even flexible with us about our continued enrollment after summer 2023 which gave us options as we planned for our son's transition to Pre-k and allowed us to breath a little. Sarah, your leadership and your leadership team are truly exceptional and I wish you, Alex and Liz continued success.
