Enjoyed our tour on the Sea Mist. The captain and crew were very professional. Boat was not overcrowded. Took us on a 45 minute tour around most all of the Thimble Islands. The captain explained the history of the islands and shared some stories about former owners. We watched as music equipment was being unloaded on one of the islands for a party. The tour was fun and we will be back with family and friends next time.

Very nice ride. We had strange Indian men videoing everyone on boat. They were drinking. Smelled bad. Then parked their Range Rover horribly in handicap spot without tag. Other than dirty Indian men which is usual. I had a good time.

Taking the ferry out to Outter Island each summer is a must!! It’s peaceful and beautiful, kids explore and stay busy easily with nature.
Booking tickets online was very easy, the boat captain was very nice and I’ve never found street parking a problem. Highly recommend.

What a great time the customer service lady who took my reservation was the best. What a great time of informative relaxation. So worth the 15 dollors. We will be back Highly also recommend Thimble Island Brewery great ending to a spectacular day. Thank you

Don't doubt it, just do it. This tour was a lot of fun. The tidbit of information on each island super interesting. It was drizzling so we didn't see much wildlife but our host said that when he did it before there were a lot of birds. Being able to buy drinks made it convenient.

Excellent, excellent tour!! We were very impressed with the tour and the wonderful knowledge of Captain Matt on the area. He grew up in the Thimble Islands so he knows much more than another tour guide who didn't. The tour boat is small, holding a dozen passengers (but we weren't crowded at all - check their website for more info) which made the tour much more personal and because of the size you can hear what the Captain is saying much better than in the larger tour boats. I definitely recommend this tour.

Great tour! The guide was a local and super nice. He was friendly and it was so much better than your standard "corny joke here, moving on" type of tour. He incorporated some of his antics of things he and his buddies did growing up in the islands. It was a neat point of view to add in with the historical facts he gave us on each island. Highly recommend! We booked the private tour and had 7 of us onboard, plus the driver. With us was a 6, 12 and 16 year old and every one of us (including the 4 adults) enjoyed the tour.

This is a great place with an amazing view and the ferry ride that runs every hour in the summer seasons is totally worth the money. This is also a great place to sit back and just enjoy your lunch in the gazebo but, there are no picnic tables with the exception of wrap-around benches in the gazebo.
