" Our 3 day trip was unbelievable - what an experience! Living aboard the Frayed Knot was truly a pleasure and not feeling as if you were on a boat! Captain Claude and wife Judy were so hospitable, accommodating and fun while sailing or at the dock. Being able to experience this voyage on water clearly exceeded my expectations and not to be missed. I would highly recommend this charter to everyone.."
"..Definitely 5 Stars!! "
- Linda Gervich / Watertown, Massachusetts
" I have gone on day sails as well as overnights on the Frayed Knot. All of these trips have ended with the words “another wonderful sail”. Captain Claude’s attentiveness, desire to make his guests comfortable, as well as his supreme competence and ability to navigate have made the experiences memorable. I enthusiastically give him a 5 star rating! "
