About This Adventure
2 HR. Sunset sail departing daily.
Enjoy the sunset from the water aboard the gorgeous 1939 wooden schooner built for General George S. Patton.
Built with the dream to sail around the world 'When the war is over, and If I live through it," When and If is over 80 years young with her destiny as yet unfulfilled.
Come and be part of her story! Take a turn at the helm, help raise sail or simply relax and enjoy the views of the gorgeous North Shore coastline at Sunset.
We will cast off, motor out to where we can safely raise sail, and as soon as the sails are set we will shut off the engine and see where the wind takes us! Your journey ends with your safe return to the dock 2 hours later.
Please arrive at the dock 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time.

- 2 hour Sunset Sail
