Our small group had a great time being educated, entertained and having lots of fun on lake Champlain. Dean and Gideon are knowledgeable, thoughtful, allowed us to bring our small dog on board, and made us laugh a lot. Next time I hope to book a longer trip. Thank you Gideon and Dean for a superb experience.

This was one of the most relaxing enjoyable experiences my wife and I have ever had. Captain Gideon and his mate were awesome. I would highly recommend going sailing with them.

Nice sail, but would have like to have heard more about the lake, the history, legends, and geography. The only commentary (other than answered questions) was Thats Juniper Island. There is so much more to say about the lake and shoreline. Very patched up boat does not present itself well.

Let’s Go Sailing is THE premiere sailing service in the area! Gideon is the captain and owner/operator. Book him for a fantastic 2-hr boat ride at sunset for $60/ea. Tons of great stories about the area and fun conversation! Free drinks are a plus! A must do if you want to be out on the water.

We had so much fun with Dean and Gideon. Nice guys with lots of knowledge. It was very relaxing, even with the wind. I definitely will be back with my family. A couple things: 1) the website says to either call with cc but do not email. This is true but you can book through the website using cc or PayPal. I thought it was a little confusing. Also, they are located (their boat) on the back side of the Splash restaurant. You have to walk thru the restaurant to meet them. There isn’t a kiosk or anything to meet them so just go to the boat. “Let’s Go Sailing” is on the mast. You can’t miss them. This was a such a fun experience.

Amazing experience! Captain Gideon was great, very flexible and a lot of fun. The breeze off the water was wonderful. The sunset was even more amazing. Highly recommended especially during COVID when you want to escape the crowds

Highly recommend Let’s Go Sailing. Gideon was a delight in conversation, and in providing knowledge about the area. It’s exactly what we wanted in a sailing tour, fun, educational, and involvement. Plus dogs are allowed!

I just got done enjoying an amazing sail with Captain Gideon. It was my first sail ever and now I want my own boat! When the wind picked up a little my fiance wanted to try to keep going faster but Captain Gideons experience prevailed and he gave us the perfect ride. Conditions on the 5:00 trip were amazing. Looking forward to seeing the sunset on the lake next time. Thanks!

We took our 2 children (ages 2 and 7) to a 10:00 a.m. tour. He was very skilled at sailing, had the perfect balance of conversation and letting us just take in the views. We loved it so much that our kids asked to go again. Definitely a highlight to our time in Burlington. Gideon was fantastic as was his crewman, Dean.

Lets Go Sailing out of Burlington, VT is amazing. We took a 2 hour day trip and Gideon took the time to teach my 2 children about sailing and how to steer the boat. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and the conversation. I highly recommend booking a tour with Lets Go Sailing VT.

Went on 7pm - 9pm sunset cruise with Captain Gideon and had a wonderful experience! I highly recommend this excursion! We had 4 people on the boat and we had plenty of room and the experience made me feel like a Kennedy! I had a blast talking to Captain Gideon, as he is quite a character! This will not be my last time going out with Captain Gideon! He is the owner/operator and takes great pride in his work. Oh yeah, the lake is the like the most amazing thing ever also!

If you are looking to go sailing in Burlington, Vermont and you have found Let’s Go Sailing - look no further! This is the best sailing experience you can have.The 30 foot boat accommodates 6 people offering you an intimate sailing experience. Great for a small group or to meet others who are sailing with you. Gideon is a very experienced sailor and an extremely nice person - very interesting, easy to talk to with great information, wonderful stories and an excellent sense of humor. He does his best, if the wind cooperates, to go out under full sail offering a wonderful experience where all you hear is the sounds of the wind, the water and the boat. He will even let you be part of the crew by letting you steer the boat if you wish. Sailing with Gideon and Let’s Go Sailing is a relaxing but yet an exhilarating experience and one not to be missed when you are in Burlington, Vermont.

TEN STARS! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐On a whim, while on vacation in Vermont, my husband and I decided we needed to go on a boat road. Goodle lead me to Lets Go Sailing. And I am SO happy that we went on the 4pm 2 hour cruise on Gideons sailboat. Gideon was professional and courteous to us. We shared the boat with another couple and a Captain named Tim. Everyone was so friendly. It was a smooth sail. Relaxing. And the weather was gorgeous to top it all off. I highly recommend this cruise.

My fiance and I had an amazing adventure with Captain Gideon! The day started hot and sunny but by 5:00 it had cooled off and Captain Gideon brought the wind making for perfect sailing conditions. At the end of the sail he wowed everyone dining at the Boathouse by docking the ship in a highly technical manueuver while completely under sail power. The 5:00 sail was perfect for our tastes and Im definetely going to try the sunset tour next time were in town. Thanks again Captian for making our day!

Spent four fantastic hours sailing with Gideon. He is knowledgeable of the area, an excellent sailor, and very personable. I have sailed in New England, Southern California, and the BVI and Gideon had no issue with me taking the helm for the entire trip, including docking under sail. This is the best way to experience Lake Champlain.

It felt as if we had a boat of our own as he stepped back and let us enjoy every moment.We are eternally grateful for a magical afternoon!Kashka, Kada, Emma, Grazyna and Ed.
