We spent 45 minutes of the 3 hour tour, touring around the bay enjoying a very interesting educational tour re local oyster farming. Maureen clearly knew her stuff and we learned a lot.
When we ventured out to the ocean area, waves/swells were quite big. Some people started to feel seasick. Maureen was amazing at helping people through that. No one actually threw up!
It was also very evident Maureen was a very experienced sailor. Felt very confident with her.
NEGATIVE
Within 10 minutes of leaving the dock, the owner/captain, Michelle, told us we wouldn’t be seeing much sea-life, such as whales, dolphins and porpoises, as we were coming pretty much during off season! We were then told best time to come is mid July.
Also when we asked, some 20 minutes later, if sailing vs loud motoring, was going to happen, we were told, “maybe”. Apparently winds weren’t great.
We had booked this tour based on seeing sea life and sailing, only to be told ….probably neither was happening.
At this point, I would have assumed people trying to make a living off of their “tourist” offering, would have offered a refund or at minimum a rebooking option.
But that didn’t happen. Instead we headed out on the tour in the bay, which was very educational, and then out to the ocean.
Once out in the ocean, we saw the bobbing head of ONE seal; the sail was put up after about 1/2 hour out, and then taken down again about 1/2 an hour later, when no wind was to be found.
So no sea life and no sailing; gas engine for pretty much the full 3 hours.
We had 8 passengers, and large swells, no one could move about. So a few of us were stuck sitting beside the gas engine, which also emitted strong gas fumes, for entire trip.
And small point, given above, while there was mention on the website of complimentary beverages on board…nothing offered.
SUMMARY
Maybe there is a reason there are so few sailing excursions on PEI!
We were super disappointed in our experience.
I cannot recommend this tour.

在 3 小时的旅行中,我们花了 45 分钟游览海湾,享受了一次非常有趣的当地牡蛎养殖教育之旅。莫琳显然很了解她的东西,我们学到了很多东西。
当我们冒险前往海洋区域时,波浪/波浪相当大。有些人开始感到晕船。莫琳非常擅长帮助人们渡过难关。没有人真正呕吐!
很明显,莫琳是一位经验丰富的水手。对她很有信心。
消极的
离开码头后 10 分钟内,船主/船长 Michelle 告诉我们,我们不会看到太多海洋生物,如鲸鱼、海豚和鼠海豚,因为我们几乎是在淡季来的!然后我们被告知最好的时间是七月中旬。
另外,大约 20 分钟后,当我们询问是否会发生航行与大声驾驶的比赛时,我们被告知“也许”。显然风不是很大。
我们根据观看海洋生物和航行而预订了这次旅行,结果却被告知……可能两者都没有发生。
在这一点上,我认为那些试图靠“旅游”服务谋生的人会提供退款或至少提供重新预订的选择。
但那并没有发生。相反,我们出发去海湾旅游,这是非常有教育意义的,然后就到了大海。
出海后,我们看到一只海豹的头在晃动。大约 1/2 小时后,帆被升起,大约 1/2 小时后,当没有发现风时,帆再次被放下。
所以没有海洋生物,也没有航行;燃气发动机几乎可以运行整整3个小时。
我们有 8 名乘客,而且浪很大,没有人可以走动。因此,我们中的一些人在整个旅程中都被困在燃气发动机旁边,该发动机也散发出强烈的废气。
上面提到的一个小问题是,虽然网站上提到了船上的免费饮料……但没有提供任何饮料。
概括
也许爱德华王子岛的航海游览如此之少是有原因的!
我们对我们的经历非常失望。
我不能推荐这次旅行。
