We’ve always wanted to do this tour and it was great. Waited in line for a little while then boarded the Sea Mist, double decker boat. The narrated tour was 45 minutes, the views were beautiful, it was fun and informative. Pay on board, $ 12 for adults, $ 6 for children. You can also buy beer or wine during the cruise. Friendly crew! Highly recommend, especially if you are local. A fun little trip in your backyard! Stop for ice cream after the tour at the local shoppe.

The islands are nice, but the captain limited himself to talk more about real estate than anything else. His assistant was just generally rude. Also, once the boat arrived they made everyone else wait in the sun while they squander for a missing group with a reservation. My suggestion is to use another operator, people in the line said great things about another captain

Knowledgeable guide and nice boat, although one story, without an observation deck. Not family friendly. Older, senior citizen crowd. Would be wonderful to have family hours or a slightly more upbeat atmosphere/feeling. Cash only which is annoying in this day and age.

Good time aboard the Volsunga IV with Captain Bob! My husband had never been to the Thimble Islands so on a day off we went down to take the 45 minute cruise. It was an enjoyable cruise with good narration.

My sister and I went on this cruise for my birthday a few years ago. She used to take my Gram every summer and they loved it. We had a lovely time and I really enjoyed hearing some of the history of the area. It was a relaxing little cruise and worth the $ 12.

Great way to spend 45 minutes! Interesting color commentary on the history of the islands and the homes on them.

Captain Bobs tour of the Thimble Islands was a nice saturday outing. Parking wasn’t too bad and the boat looked like it was well maintained. His narrative told about all the little islands and their histories and former inhabitants. Trip was about 45 minutes and cost $ 12. If you want to be out on the water for a little while and see something new it is worth it.

New York resident here. I took my 2nd narrated tour with Captain Bob yesterday. I was glad to be back. This tour is beautiful and very informative. Captain Bob is very knowledgeable and funny. Stony Creek is a beautiful coastal village. Residents are friendly. If you’re visiting Connecticut, Captain Bob’s Thimble Islands Tour is a must do solo or with friends and family.

Rocks boats and great stories A great way to spend a summer day. Capt Bob was a character and knew just about everything there was to know about the Thimbles, including fastastic stories about the islands before the 1938 hurricane. He obviously was well acquainted with the area and skillfully maneuvered the boat through the rocks and islands. The Thimbles are also a great place to kayak, and although you can only land on the a few of the outer most islands, in a small kayak you get a great perceptive of the area. Even though there is a launch site right in Stony Creek, parking is always at a premium.
