Choose between either a 1.5 or 2-hour sail around Boston Harbor aboard one of our beautiful schooner Adirondack sailboats! These classic boats are reminiscent of the sailboats from the 1890s. Sail past the seaport district, Castle Island, Fort Independence, Spectacle Island, and Long Island with Long Island Head Light. Great for families and friends who want to sail and see the sights of Boston from the water!

Within minutes of leaving the dock, guests will forget the distractions of life on land and experience the joy of a leisurely sail. Sit back and relax as the crew raises sail and provides beverage service. Drinks are available for purchase by credit card only. Guests are welcome to bring a picnic onboard.

The knowledgeable captain and crew are always ready to answer questions about the sights and history of Boston Harbor and its surrounding areas. From interesting facts to old-time legends, the maritime world of Boston has many great stories to offer.

    We had a great day! It was an impromptu team bonding opportunity, and the weather was perfect to be on the water. The crew was kind and informative, but let us have our own space and conversations, but there when you wanted them. The captain had been sailing this ship for 10 years and was a true pro. Unlike lots of sailboat excursions, the captain cut the motors and ran by sail for almost the entire trip. Loved it!
