Schooner Thomas E. Lannon, Gloucester

The schooner was overcrowded so once you found a place to sit, it was difficult to move around without stepping on anyone's feet. The crew seemed more interested in selling drinks and snacks once we set sail. No information was given about the harbor; we took a whale watching cruise the next day and got more information about the harbor in the first 10 minutes of our cruise than we did on the entire 2 hour schooner ride. Kids were bored, we were bored - what a disappointing experience.

Crew is only concerned with the boat, 'don't touch this or that'. Not made to feel welcome, vs every other cruise I've ever been on. Beautiful boat, nice cruise. Captain kind of a jerk. Comfortable, wear sunblock! Come early for a good parking spot. Gloucester worth the trip in general.

I loved everything about my sail on this beautiful schooner. I would recommend it highly to anyone who loves the sea. The owner and his sons were very professional and friendly and gracious.

Can't remember having a better day. It was filled with wonder and laughter and the wind and full sails were breathtaking. Took the tiller and didn't hit anything, a first for me. Earned my wings and an official maritime rank to add to my eclectic resume. Better than Disney and a close second to the train through the Swiss Alps. Thank you Capt. Tom and fellow mates.

Absoultely a great schooner, went sailing las June and will be back this year to join in on the Schooner races. Tom and Kay were fantastic, and we really had a wonderful time. Thumbs up to the Lannon and her crew!
