Last weekend a gang of 8 went out with Captain BOB. Friday we had a great clam bake outside at a state Park on the water. Thereafter, it rained pretty much the rest of the time. Despite the weather, we were entertained by the crew with great sailing, exceptional food, and the captain's stories. For me, one of the best... More

Because Schooner Timberwind is part of a friendly and supportive, but competitive community, and I am not often given to hyperbole, I will refrain reluctantly from words such as "best" and "highest", when offering this note of praise: For a Captain whose vessel, crew, and personal character offered all of the delighted passengers, including his special friend, songwriter Kevin Welch,...

Authentic schooner experience 3 nights - no powered anything, but the pusher boat. Crew was wonderful and worked hard raising the anchor. Food was excellent and all cooked on wood stove. WE had WONDERFUL weather and great lobster bake and beautiful harbor anchorage. For authentic experience recommend the Timberwind
