Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had an afternoon sail scheduled but once we arrived at the wharf there was little to no wind at all. We did get there earlier than requested so we started talking with one of the crew members. As time went by we noticed that the wind was picking up and departure time arrived with a nice breeze blowing.
The entire afternoon rushed before our eyes with beautiful sun drenched blue skies a few light clouds. Calm seas and great service were on hand to make for a wonderful, fun and relaxing sail on this beautiful, custom designed sailing ship.
We were on the water for about three plus hours but it seemed to be over in an instant.
The crew was wonderful and seemed to really enjoy each other and they all worked together well.
We had the privilege to be on the last excursion for this season and we were very glad that we booked this trip when we did.

What a glorious experience we had aboard the Liberte last evening... it was the schooner's last sail of the season on Cape Cod- did they save the best for last? This was the second annual sail aboard Liberte for myself and a group of neighbors. When the sailing is smooth, the breezes are lush, the sunset is exquisite and everyone is comfortable and engaged, each moment is new. SO HAPPY we did this again and I look forward to next year. AYE AYE Captain!

What a wonderful sail with Capt. Chris and crew. The weather was perfect and they are just so much fun to sail with. You can bring your own food on board and they provide beverages for a fee. They are so attentive to all your needs. We go every year and have done family reunions on board in the past. Thanks for always making our trip a great one.

A fabulous way to spend a morning. The ship is beautiful. The captain and crew were personable and helpful. The weather was gorgeous. We did briefly lose the wind but that was adeptly handled. We had infant with us and the views are so spectacular she was entertained the whole time. A wonderful experience.

As a fan of sailing ships I was excited to treat my two granddaughters to a sail out of Falmouth Harbor. Three captain and crew were lively and enthusiastic as well as very knowledgeable. Sadly the weather gods did not provide much wind but being out on Vineyard Sound at sunset with my girls was a lovely experienced . Thank you Liberte

A sail on the Liberte is always the highlight of the summer. Captain and crew are friendly and accommodating. The captain always makes us chuckle with his, “I’m going to blow a fairly loud horn.” The sunsets on Cape are sensational, but they’re especially fantastic on the water. Take a sail. You won’t be disappointed.

Where do you park for the sunset cruise?

There is a free parking lot with limited space at the boat. The boat crew is at the gate and will direct you. There is also parking on the street near the boat. If you park on the street, let Cory, the crew mate know and he will give you a couple of free drink tickets.
Do you do sunset tours at the end of October?? Five women coming for a 60th birthday, October 25-26

Does the sunset cruise go by the Kennedy compound and can you see it from the water?
Waldomagoo

No because the cruise is between Falmouth Ma and Martha’s Vineyard. The Kennedy Compound is in Hyannis Ma 25 mikes east of Falmouth.

We missed this question last year, but we did take Deane and his group out, like we do every year!
How long is the ship, how fast does it go?
TheLiberte

Thanks for the question. The boat is 77' long, 65' on deck. Her speed depends on the wind, but generally in the 6 - 8 knot range.

Is this sail good for kids? Can kids go on the sunset cruise?
TheLiberte
Annapolis, Maryland5 contributions
Hi! Kids can go on the sunset sail, but it is primarily featured as an adult event. That's why there is only one ticket price for everyone.
