About Your Sail:

Set sail aboard the AJ Meerwald, one of the hundreds of oyster schooners that graced the Delaware Bay in the 1920s!

Enjoy the excitement and wonder of sailing aboard our 115’ 1928 oyster schooner. You’ll experience sailing as done for hundreds of years on our 1928 oyster schooner. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even join our crew in hauling lines and setting sails! Enjoy the great outdoors as you breathe in the fresh air and marvel at the scenery that surrounds you.

A ticket is required for all passengers. Children 17 and under must be accompanied by an adult. You may bring your own food and drink on board. Beer & wine is permitted on board but not on the docks.

Boarding the boat requires ascending 2-4 steps, but once on board handicapped passengers may be seated on a deck box. While there is a small crew bathroom (“head”) on board the ship it is not easily accessible. It is only accessible by descending a ladder. We highly recommended that you use the shoreside facilities prior to coming aboard the ship. Restrooms on board are not handicap accessible, but onshore facilities are.

Parking: There are several surface parking lots at Penn's Landing that cost approximately $20 to park. The Hilton Hotel also has parking. Please plan to arrive at least 30 minutes ahead of the sail time to allow for parking and checking in for the sail.

Restrooms are available at Spruce Street Harbor Park

Sail Notes: Sail times are approximately 2 hours in length depending on conditions. It may be cooler on the water than the land, so we suggest you dress in layers. Feel free to bring sun screen, bug repellent, and beverages. The boat is “carry on, carry off” meaning whatever you bring aboard the ship should be brought off with you. We do sail rain or shine, but if the Captain decides the conditions are dangerous, the sail will be canceled. Should this occur, we will contact you via the email you used to book your sail. If we cancel the sail we will refund your payment. There are no refunds available if you do not show up for your scheduled sail.
