Tall Ships Cruise - July 8 to 12

 

Confirmed Tall Ships

The Tall Ships are coming, The Tall Ships are coming!

The perfect way to see the Tall Ships in all their glory is aboard s/v Hestia, a 32-foot 2001 model Catalina sailboat. Take your sweetheart. Or, since s/v Hestia comfortably holds six people, take your friends, and get the whole boat to yourself.

Sit back and soak in the sights of Boston Harbor and the Tall Ships. See these majestic vessels as we make way past the berthing area. Weather and wind permitting we will raise the sails for a first hand experience of sailing boston harbor. s/v Hestia provides a fresh perspective. Laugh, relax and have some fun.

This sail on s/v Hestia lasts over two hours. Boarding begins at 11:30am and 3pm. As a Hestia guest, you're welcome to sit back and relax or pull on the lines, crank on the winch, and help with the sailing. You can even bring your own food, snacks, and drinks to enjoy as you coast around the harbor. Don't worry if you have sea fears, s/v Hestia is well equipped with life vests for each passenger and additional safety gear.
