Guest reviews of Private St. John Half/Full-Day Sailing Charter
Rated 5.0 / 5 from 44 verified reviews.
We have been coming for years to sail but this was by far our favorite. We were delighted to have Derren play wonderful music on his guitar and harmonica while we sailed the sound with our friends on a private charter ! We’ll be back next year !
Darin and Charlotte were great. We sailed from Noank to Fishers Island on a 2 hour charter. Darin played guitar whe we ate lobster rolls and drank champagne. We saw seals and the coast I grew up on Wonderful time. We most highly recommend sailing the Poets Lounge!
3 ladies from Arizona took a trip in September to Mystic. We chartered this sailboat and we enjoyed every minute of it. Captain Darrin was super nice and accommodating. We had nice conversation, a few drinks, birthday cupcake and enjoyed the ride into the evening.
Our sunset cruise with Poets Lounge Sailing Charters was absolutely incredible! We sailed out of Noank Shipyard on Captain Darin Keech and Charlotte’s stunning 47’ sailboat, and from the very start, the experience felt unique and personal. We booked a 3-hour sunset sail, and it exceeded every expectation. The boat was immaculate and comfortable, the atmosphere welcoming, and the views breathtaking
