Step Aboard

Come for a trip on the Lannon. Meet the crew in the office, get your tickets, then step aboard, cast off the lines, raise the sails, and have an adventure. As the trip comes to a close, the sails come down, the Lannon glides into the dock, and you pick up a t-shirt or cap at our store to remind you of the fun you had. 

When do we Sail?

We begin our sailing season in mid-May, offering two-hour public sails on weekends throughout May and June. Starting in late June, we begin to offer daily public sails, sometimes as many as three or four trips a day throughout July and August. After Labor Day, we again offer public sails on weekends through Columbus Day, October 11.

Please note that we offer private charters and group trips seven days a week throughout our entire season. Got an event coming up? Think you might like to charter the boat? Book now to be sure to get your date.

Our Most Popular Tours:

Two Hour Sail:

Sit back and relax or help the crew raise the sails as we head out through Gloucester's working harbor and along her rocky coastline. See lighthouses, castles, scenic beaches, and magnificent waterfront homes. Breathe the clean salt air and feel the wind as it fills the schooner's sails. Join us on a two-hour public sail and feel your stress disappear.

Saturday Morning Kids:

This was new in July and August of 2009 and we plan to offer it again in 2010: On our Saturday morning sail, 10:00 a.m.-12:00 noon, kids aged 16 and under sail for free. Each kid must be accompanied by an adult. Each adult must pay full fare for his or her ticket. No other discounts apply. Sorry, you can't bring a whole gang of kids, unless you bring a matching gang of adults. It's a great deal for families. Join us, have some family fun and SAVE.

Sunset Music Cruise:

We always have lots of fun on our Music Cruises and they always sell out, so remember to reserve your spots early! Stay tuned or call us to get the updated schedule.
