What a gem that we discovered in this cruise experience! Absolutely amazing experience with Whistling Man and their sailboat, Friendship!! Honestly, it could not have gotten much better. A Goldilocks day of sailing was capped off by two incredible guides, Peri and Eddy, who were friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and positive, and who regaled us with 2 hours of wonderful and amazing facts, stories, experiences, insights, and humor about the lake, Champ, and so much more! The boat, Friendship, was beautiful, the sailing was divine, the lake was just about perfect, the views were killer, and the weather was magnificent! I am so happy that the experience went so well and I heartily recommend the experience to all those seeking something unique to do while in Burlington! Thanks again, Peri, Eddy, and Whistling Man for making this a truly memorable experience!! I will be returning next summer, that is a given!

My family and I had the best experience sailing with Whistling Man. We had the fortune of beautiful weather and 2 impressive young women as our captain and deck hand. Captain Perri and Eddy were not only great sailors but also super knowledgeable about the region and its history, making our experience that much more enjoyable. We would highly recommend them if you are looking for an authentic experience sailing on Lake Champlain.

We had an amazing time on Friendship. Our captain, Ditty, was so kind, talented, and knowledgeable. Oliver was also fun to chat with and very knowledgeable of the area. I loved all of the fun facts that we learned while on board. We packed a picnic to have on the boat, and we loved snacking while enjoying the crew, scenery and the sailboat. We had a party of eight, which included two kids. We all had an amazing time. The kids even said they felt Champ under their feet, no official sightings from the adults though. I definitely recommend booking Whistling Man for a wonderful experience no matter if you are just in the area for a vacation or if you live there. Everyone in our group mentioned this as one of their favorite activities we did on the trip.

We took a sunset cruise on the Friendship with Capt. OB- (Hannah O'Brien) and her crewman Oliver. They were funny and friendly so knowledgeable about the area and the history and had lots of interesting stories to tell. The sailboat was beautiful and very comfortable for 8 passengers on board. We were fortunate to have an absolutely beautiful night for sailing and the sunset was breathtaking. A wonderful experience that I would definitely do again.
