Testimonials from the public
"Thank you so much for such a great experience on the boat cruise and clambake. Our team truly enjoyed it! Your team was great! I will recommend you highly to others in Sun."
Kathryn Noble, Sun Microsystems

"You made our parents' 50th wedding anniversary party the 'Hit of the New Millennium!' You all were so gracious and made us all feel so welcome and at home. Everything was perfect from the great sound system, the sunset, the tour down the river and the ability to relax! We will recommend you to anyone who would like a cruise through Essex with a very personable crew and Captain!"
Kate Lundquist and family

"Thank you all so much for giving us a relaxing, accommodating, and informative experience during our cruise yesterday. Everything was great, and we couldn't have asked for a more pleasant staff, not only during the cruise, but also throughout the planing."
Alyssa Dorsdik and the crew at Bridgeman

"Your narrating and tour were delightful and the river was so beautiful and relaxing. We had all received sad news of a beloved member's death the Friday night before the cruise so having the peaceful, scenic afternoon with you was really a 'balm' to our hurting hearts. We would definitely recommend Essex River Cruises & Charters to anyone looking for a memorable outing! Thanks again so much!"
Cornelia Fleming, Evangelical Congregational Church of Lancaster, MA

"Thank you for a memorable cruise down the Essex River. It was the perfect setting to celebrate Brian's birthday with both of our families from all over New England. Your staff and crew have been WONDERFUL in helping to create our celebration!"
Brenda W. Murphy

"We had a wonderful day cruising the Essex River! Captain Bob and Chris were wonderful with the 41 'mature' ladies from the Brandeis Women's Committee. It was great! What is even better is, not one complaint. Some of us are hoping to come with our husbands, we'll call!"
Ethel Daub

"I would like to book the Essex River Cruise again during Reunion Weekend…Alumni truly love your historic and relaxing cruise and I will be delighted to have the chance to offer it to them again."
Paula Prifti Weafer, Director of Alumni Relations, Endicott College, Beverly, MA

"On behalf of our entire Friday Niter's Group from Manchester, I want to thank you for an absolutely perfect evening! The raves were unanimous for the 'Queen,' the crew, the scenery and the superb weather…The consensus is that it was the most successful evening ever, and the homemade strawberry shortcake served afterwards really topped it off. I would recommend the Essex River Cruise to one and all and so would our entire membership. Also, congratulations on your coverage in Yankee magazine."
Mary Crane Kriby

"Friends commented on the great captains. We appreciated the 'Happy birthday' on the river."
