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
In addition to our one and a half-hour public sails, we also offer several “Specialty Sails”. Some are longer and offer dessert or music. Some offer pricing specials.
Congratulations to Captain Heath, winner of the Destination Excellence Frontline Hospitality Award from the North of Boston CVB! 🎉
Thank you to everyone who voted, and to the North of Boston CVB for the nomination.
This award celebrates the frontline hospitality rock stars who bring their best to every interaction and go above and beyond for visitors to the North of Boston. After 30 years in the business, that’s Captain Heath to a T. Whether he’s sharing his deep knowledge of the water, sailing, and Gloucester’s waterfront history, cracking a joke (he’s a pretty funny guy), or just making sure everyone has the best day possible on the water, he does it with warmth and a smile. He truly cares about people, and it shows.
We’re so proud of you, Cap. Well deserved! ⚓ @visitnorthofboston
