Sail Salem Sound aboard a historic schooner with sunset views, hands-on sailing, island scenery, and a full bar on this two-hour cruise.
“Relaxing cruise around the harbor. We took the sunset version and there were beautiful views. Small historic schooner, friendly crew. Makeshift bar on board, no real bathrooms and only accessible if you climb down a ladder and back up again so keep that in mind. Can get a bit chilly even in September so bring a jacket. If you have mobility issues this is not the cruise to book. Otherwise if you want a small boat experience where you are allowed to help (only if you want to) with some of the sailing tasks on board this will be right up your alley.”
