Below are some of the comments our recent cruise guests have made about their experiences.

“What an impressive company. Your boat looks great and your crew, captains, and historian would make any business owner proud!” - Lori

“I have taken the IOS cruise before in the past, and this time was so much better. I was able to take great pictures because we were so much closer to the islands and it was great to hear the history of the islands.” -Greg Klein, CT

”Having had the opportunity to listen to many a speaker, I can vouch that he was "one of the best". It was obvious he was interested in his topic, and his oration was very distinctive- I could hear every word he was saying. His attention to detail provided a great history lesson." - Deborah Lyman, Meriden, CT

“We thank you so very much for giving our guests a lovely ferry cruise to the Isles of Shoals recently. They all truly loved it and was a perfect time to relax and enjoy the scenery!” - Kathy Penley

“I often wished that we were able to spend more time cruising around the islands instead of staying docked, but now with the new cruise we were able to see each of the nine islands. It was fantastic! I am sure that we will come back again this season and for many to come!” - Lynne Holmes from Kensington, NH

“Thank you for your kindness. The crew was fabulous and the cruise experience was an all around wonderful day for everyone, especially the seniors. “ - Carol E.

“I have been coming on this boat for many many years, and I have never had as much fun as I had today. The new narration and the length of time we were able to idle around the islands made it just an absolutely fantastic ride. I go out two to three times a year and this by far as been the best year!” - Helen Kiehl of Kittery, Maine

“I just wanted to take the time to thank you for the wonderful visit we had in Portsmouth last weekend. Although the weather was far from perfect (it rained practically the whole time on the cruise), the skipper made the trip worth every penny and rain drop.” - Deborah Lyman, Meriden, CT

"Thank you for providing our class with such a wonderful up close and personal experience with New Hampshire history. Our hats are off to your friendly staff and narrator." - Mrs. B, New Hampshire- 4th Grade Teacher

"Thank you for a job well done! Our Monday aboard the Thomas Laighton was a beautiful and fun cruise, well narrated and educational." - Norma A, parent

"Our annual field trip has become such a wonderful tradition. Our upcoming students are always looking forward to it, as it has become quite the talk of the 7th grade class." - Miss Lemont, teacher
