5.0Whistling Man Schooner Company(988 reviews) - Smooth Sailing on Lake Champlain Thursday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Historical & Heritage Tours • Boat Tours • Sightseeing Tours • Boat Rentals
We had the most wonderful time on a classic sloop called Friend Ship yesterday sailing with Diddy and Yeo out of Burlington, VT. After a quick, but thorough safety talk, we set sail on what the Captain called a “Goldilocks”day with perfect wind conditions. Diddy and Yeo worked seamlessly together to give us the smoothest sail we have ever experienced. The 2 hr trip was filled with interesting facts and lore about Lake Champlain and the surrounding area. We ate our lunch and then enjoyed putting our feet in the water as we explored the lake. If you plan on visiting the Burlington area, we highly recommend making a reservation online. We got one of the last time slots available for the week we visited so reserve early and don’t miss out. It was definitely a highlight of our vacation and we will be back next year.See more..
4.0Spirit of Ethan Allen(767 reviews) - A great way to end the day Thursday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Boat Tours • Sightseeing Tours
We did a sunset cruise to end our day in Burlington. It was chilly outside that evening, but the boat offers plenty of indoor space to keep warm, if needed. The food was good and the drinks were great. Plenty of photo opportunities.See more..
5.0Umiak Outdoor Outfitters(286 reviews) - Gateway to Heaven on Earth Thursday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Boat Tours • Gear Rentals • Stand Up Paddleboarding • Kayaking & Canoeing
Umiak has earned my highest five-star recommendation. From the moment I contacted them regarding trip arrangements for canoe-into-site camping, Michael was more than accommodating, directing us to an ideal spot, making arrangements to ensure a wonderful experience, offering availability for whatever we might need, and giving us a quick but clear and effective tutorial on strapping a canoe to our car and reaching our gorgeous, pristine, and peaceful destination without incident. He even gave us great advice about places to go throughout the rest of our New England adventure that enhanced the trajectory of our itinerary. This was by far the best service and most positive experience I’ve encountered among any outdoor sports and recreation provider I’ve used.See more..
In town for a couple of days our trip wouldn't have been complete w/out this experience. The 2 hours fly by unnoticed as you are mesmerised by the beauty of the lake. If you though it was pretty from the shore, just wait till you see it in all of its glory from the middle. Captain Gideon is super experienced and is a wonderful conversationalist. An absolute must do!!!See more..
Susan and her first mate, Carl, were absolutely lovely hosts from start to finish, we left feeling as though we had made two new friends in Vermont! It was a blessing to get a last minute sunset sail booking and it was the perfect way to spend our last night on our family vacation. Our group was comprised of a 7 year old, a 19 year old (who found Susan online and made the booking), and three adults. It offered us all a little bit of adventure, beautiful sunset views, and an opportunity to slow down, relax, and just 'be' with our loved ones. Susan and Carl provided everything to help us feel welcome and comfortable and even topped it off with delicious desert treats!See more..
My son and I took a 4 1/2 hour fishing trip on Lake Champlain on 8/13 morning. Matt trombley was the captain. He could not have been more helpful. He has a completely outfitted boat, provides fishing gear and and easily was able to get us onto fish in no time. We were treated to first rate expert service and I will advise anyone to spend some time with Captain Matt on beautiful Lake Champlain.See more..
