Each kid must be accompanied by an adult. Each adult must pay full fare for his or her ticket. Sorry, you can't bring a whole gang of kids, unless you bring a matching gang of adults.

Kids love helping to haul the sails.

Fireworks Sails-Gloucester loves fireworks!!

We try to schedule a sail to watch the fireworks in Gloucester whenever it's possible. In 2010, fireworks are scheduled on Fiesta Sunday (June 27th), on the third of July, and on the Saturday night of Schooner Race weekend (September 4th).

We usually go for a short sail at sunset. Then as we are heading back into the harbor, we serve a delectable variety of finger desserts. Sweet! And, you're sure to have a great seat for viewing the fireworks over the water! 

The Lannon is available for private charter on each of these nights. If you want to add a bang to your private party, think about holding it on the Lannon on a fireworks night.

Tickets are $47.50/adults; $42.50/seniors and $35/kids

and included a variety of yummy desserts.

 

 


Welcome the Bluenose Sail

Whenever the Canadian Schooner Bluenose II sails into Gloucester harbor for Schooner Festival Weekend, we plan to sail out to greet her and accompany her into the harbor.  She is gorgeous under sail and it is sure to be a day to remember!  Our passengers get a bird's eye look at this magnificent vessel as she sails into Gloucester harbor. 

 

     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We sailed out on Friday, Sept. 4th at 9:00 a.m. to greet her in 2009.

This was a great photo op day and the Bluenose II did not disappoint in 2009.

The Bluenose II is a Canadian icon, pictured on the Canadian dime. She is 143 feet on deck and has a beam of 27 feet. She dwarfs the Lannon at 65 feet on deck with an 18 ft. beam. She ties up at the Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center for Schooner Festival, though she'll be undergoing a refit and won't be coming in 2010. More information about the Bluenose II is available at http://www.bluenose2.ns.ca.

We hope to offer this sail again in 2011. Call us at (978) 281-6634 to book your spots.


Schooner Race Day-Sunday, September 5, 2010

Every year we race in the Gloucester Schooner Festival Race, held on Labor Day weekend. In 2009, we were third in our class on a fabulous breezy schooner day. In 2008, we were first in our class and won the Cameron Cup. The good news is that we take passengers with us in the Race. Plan to join us onboard next Labor Day weekend for the 26th Annual Gloucester Schooner Festival Race.  Racing is the best way to see the big schooners up close! We guarantee a fabulous day!

In 2009, we had to turn away lots of people who wanted to join us for Race Day, many of whom have sailed with us in previous races. Save yourself some anxiety and sign up early for 2010. The cost is $175/person for the day.

 


 

Tall Ships Sail-Monday, July 13, 2009

         As you have probably heard, the SailBoston Tall Ships event was cut back considerably. There was no Parade of Sail and the viewing of the vessels was quite limited. When the Boston event ended on July 13th, the participating Tall Ships sailed in company to Halifax, Nova Scotia. We sailed out to greet them on their way north. We had a fabulous daylong adventure as we  viewed the Tall Ships as they sailed from Boston on their way to Halifax. This was the best opportunity to see these magnificent vessels under sail and our passengers had front row seats for the show.    

       Sign up to join our VIP list and you'll be the first to hear about specialty sails like this one.

                                                                    

                                   Sagres from Portugal                                                                                                     Here comes the Picton Castle from Halifax.

                                     Hello the Picton Castle.


Pirate Sail

         This was something new for the family in June. The New England Pirate Faire took place at Stage Fort Park in Gloucester on June 20th and 21st from 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. This is the first year the Faire was held in Gloucester and the Lannon was part of the fun!

We had pirates from the Faire onboard our morning sail on Saturday and Sunday. They interacted with our passenger pirates. We were part of the action at Stage Fort Park and made a grand entrance with Blackbeard, Ned Lowe and his henchman, Thomas Veal. There was plenty of cannon fire! Aarrr!! Pirate costumes were encouraged on all our sails that weekend.

 

More pictures and additional information about the Faire can be found on Facebook.
