Daily Sails

What types of trips do you offer?

Two Hour Sail

Sit back and relax or help the crew raise the sails as we head out through Gloucester's working harbor and along her rocky coastline. See lighthouses, castles, scenic beaches, and magnificent waterfront homes. Breathe the clean salt air and feel the wind as it fills the schooner's sails.

 We offer these trips just a few select evenings during the summer season when the moon is full. Call us for reservations for a romantic night out.

Schooner Race Day-Sunday, August 31, 2008

Every year we race in the Gloucester Schooner Festival Race, held on Labor Day weekend. Plan to join us onboard this Labor Day weekend for the 24th Annual Gloucester Schooner Festival Race. Racing is the best way to see the big schooners up close!

Fireworks Sails-Gloucester loves fireworks!!

We try to schedule a sail to watch the fireworks in Gloucester whenever it's possible. In 2008, fireworks are scheduled on Fiesta Sunday (June 29th), on the third of July, and on the Saturday night of Schooner Race weekend (August 30th).

We usually go for a short sail at sunset. Then as we are heading in, 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.


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 will get a bird's eye look at this magnificent vessel as she sails into Gloucester harbor.  Details on how to join us will be available in August.

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 will tie up at the Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center for Schooner Festival and will be open for tours. More information about the Bluenose II is available at http://www.bluenose2.ns.ca.


       Tall Ships and Sail Boston 2000 and 2009

We sailed to Boston on Monday, July 10, 2000 to participate in Tuesday's Grand Parade of Sail, spent the week in Boston, and returned to Gloucester on Sunday, July 16, after the Salute to the USS Constitution. We had a blast being part of the Sail Boston 2000 Tall Ships Extravaganza.

We plan to do it again from July 8-13, 2009 when Sail Boston returns. We will be available for private charter in Boston harbor. Details will be available as we get closer to the date.
