The crew of the Shearwater are very friendly and a lot of fun. I went sailing with them on a weekday afternoon in early May, and there was just 2 of us on the boat (plus the crew). I hear it gets much more crowded (up to 40 passengers) on evening and weekend sails as the weather gets better. There is beer, wine, champagne, soda, etc...and you can drink as much as you want - it's included!!
I will definitely be returning with some friends next time. As this was a fun and relaxing way to spend the afternoon.

We had a fantastic time!! The staff was friendly, the boat was beautiful and the trip was extremetly relaxing. I felt like I had a mini-vacation from city life as it was so peaceful on the harbor.

A nice ship, well worth it to take for for a spin in the harbor... But be sure to bring warmer clothes, as it does get windy and chilly on the water...
The crew was nice and very attentive. If you go for the evening cruise, it's advisable to eat before you set sail, as you'll be hungry after. There is no food on board, though there are drinks. Your first drink is included, which is a nice touch.
