My husband and I decided to take the sunset cruise on the Argia. You can bring your bottle of wine and the crew will bring out some fruit and cheese and crackers. The crew let my husband help raise the sail - which he loved. The crew and captain were fabulous - you must give them a try on your... More

We so loved sailing on the ARGIA that we are scheduled to take another sail this weekend along with 2 other couples from out of state. It was very informative, the crew of women was excellent & it was very relaxing. Can't wait for this Saturday to go sailing on The Argia again.

A beautiful experience; civilized; well managed -- knowledgeable and friendly crew. The schooner passes through two bridges (one of them a drawbridge, and the other an Amtrak bridge that turns) before reaching Fishers Island Sound. Cheese and crackers were served with iced tea; passengers were invited to join in light work of hoisting sails (elective); crew did a fine job... More

I guess it's the luck of the draw here. The staff was friendly but not exactly forthcoming with extra information about the area. We got more hands on activity and more space to walk around on the (cheaper) cruise aboard the historic steamship Sabino out of Mystic Seaport Museum. I didn't like that we motored for most of the ride... More

With four teenaged boys in tow, this was quite a change of pace, but they really liked it. We had to mentally tell ourselves that it was okay to slow down and relax. Because we sailed in the middle of the day, the winds were up and we hardly used the motor at all. Our three woman crew were fantastic... More

I live close by. In the summertime I have a lot of visiting family and friends. When my very small boat isnt quite big enough to accomodate everyones needs i have often taken a cruise on the "Argia". There are seats available for the older folks to be comfortable. Its big enough for my biggest crowd. The crew is a... More
