Excellent, excellent tour!! We were very impressed with the tour and the wonderful knowledge of Captain Matt on the area. He grew up in the Thimble Islands so he knows much more than another tour guide who didnt. The tour boat is small, holding a dozen passengers (but we werent crowded at all - check their website for more info) which made the tour much more personal and because of the size you can hear what the Captain is saying much better than in the larger tour boats. I definitely recommend this tour.

Dont doubt it, just do it. This tour was a lot of fun. The tidbit of information on each island super interesting. It was drizzling so we didnt see much wildlife but our host said that when he did it before there were a lot of birds. Being able to buy drinks made it convenient.

Great tour! The guide was a local and super nice. He was friendly and it was so much better than your standard corny joke here, moving on type of tour. He incorporated some of his antics of things he and his buddies did growing up in the islands. It was a neat point of view to add in with the historical facts he gave us on each island. Highly recommend! We booked the private tour and had 7 of us onboard, plus the driver. With us was a 6, 12 and 16 year old and every one of us (including the 4 adults) enjoyed the tour.

$5 per person if i recall correctly. Very fair price considering theyll take you directly to the island you state. Can call them to be picked up as well.

This is a great place with an amazing view and the ferry ride that runs every hour in the summer seasons is totally worth the money. This is also a great place to sit back and just enjoy your lunch in the gazebo but, there are no picnic tables with the exception of wrap-around benches in the gazebo.

Mike Infantino was amazing! He’s extremely knowledgeable about the area and the Thimble Islands. He went above and beyond to help our family. Highly recommended!

The boat ride was great. Beautiful scenery and interesting houses. Would’ve given it 5 stars except the public toilets were a disgrace to mankind.

It was nice half hour cruise but I am unsure it is worth the $15 dollar a person charge. That is basically my take in this.

My friends had a birthday party on board... the boat did not look like much from the dock but it was roomy enough to for thirty people to sit and have a buffet dinner.We motored around the Thimble Islands for two beautiful and placid hours and smoothly docked as the sun set.

Absolute terrific time. Wish it could have been longer. Next were booking the 5 hour trip! We were celebrating 4 birthdays and it could not have gone better or smoother!! Very relaxed and chilled time and friendly area. Everyone had a smile and a wave for us. Loved it.

Friendly, articulate tour guide. The tour was very well done but I should have sat toward the front of the boat where maybe the diesel smell from the motor wouldnt be as noticable.
