Poet's Lounge Sailing Charters, Mystic CT and St John US Virgin Islands

"We had a fantastic day sailing with Poet’s Lounge Charters. Captain Darin maintains a nice boat and his knowledge of local waters and sites was impressive."

"Darin and Charlotte were great. We sailed from Noank to Fishers Island on a 2 hour charter. Darin played guitar whe we ate lobster rolls and drank champagne. We saw seals and the coast I grew up on Wonderful time. We most highly recommend sailing the Poets Lounge!"

"Wow like even better than we imagined! Best New England summer afternoon. Being on Poet’s Lounge was like having one of my nicest friends invite me to sail on his boat. One couldn’t ask for a more skilled, attentive, and easy going host. When the weather looked bad before our trip, Darin adjusted the schedule. So glad too cause he took us to such a beautiful swimming spot! Even had a noodle for chilling in the water. The comfy cushions, Bluetooth speaker, local tips, even binoculars for a seal sighting, were all pleasant surprises. Although a private sailing charter is luxurious, Poet’s Lounge is relaxing and we felt right at home from the start (almost fell asleep a few times.) My mom is fit but older. We both appreciated that Darin was thoughtful and sensitive about her age, without making a big deal out of it. She had the best time. Even the ride back was especially fun as Darin played some really great music on his Bluetooth speaker. Gonna need to do this every summer. Maybe a girl’s trip on the New London boat!"

"3 ladies from Arizona took a trip in September to Mystic. We chartered this sailboat and we enjoyed every minute of it. Captain Darrin was super nice and accommodating. We had nice conversation, a few drinks, birthday cupcake and enjoyed the ride into the evening."

"What an unforgettable experience! Our crew loved our time on the water with Darin. He was an excellent host, wonderful to chat with and very attentive when he realized one of us was feeling seasick. Two of us had been out with him before for a sunset cruise and we upped it to 3 hrs this time. Truly a great experience - highly recommend and will definitely be back!"
