Welcome Aboard!
Picture yourself relaxing on the deck of this beautiful 65- foot schooner as she sails out of Gloucester harbor on a light southwesterly breeze.
Join us for a sail and get a taste for what it was like to sail on a fishing schooner a hundred years ago. Help the crew raise the sails, or just sit back and take in the sights and sounds of Gloucester’s coastline.
“Such an easy, relaxing, and incredibly worthwhile experience! The crew is very friendly and will take great care of you while you’re on board. This was our first visit to Gloucester together, and I’m glad we were able to share this experience with family.”
– Noah S
