The Moonlight Special is a smash hit!
Extended through August! We added special Moonlight Sails every night during the last heat wave and they were so tremendously popular we've decided to add them to the regular schedule through August! We'll sail from 9:30-11:00pm Thursday through Monday to give you a chance to escape the heat and have some fun on the water. The city is beautiful from the river at night under the stars. The river glows from the moonlight and the skyscrapers of Center City and you don't want to miss it! Beat the heat! Call us at 215-900-7758 to make your special reservation today. Seating is limited.
We offer a History Sail, a guided tour of the maritime history of Philadelphia and the Delaware River. As the sun warms up , we put on our Hawaiian shirts for our Tropical Sail, play some great tropical beach music from Jimmy Buffett and many others and enjoy the wind and the water! In the evenings, join us for a more romantic mood as the sun sets against the skyline of Center City during our Sunset Sail. Sometimes, when the mood strikes us and the summer heat starts to boil, we continue our tropical theme right into a Moonlight Sail. We hope you'll join us!
The Summer Wind is available for Private Charters. The 75' schooner North Wind is also available for larger charters (up to 49 passengers). Email or call us to make a request for your special occasion!
Coming this Fall!
Join us for an amazing weeklong journey around the Chesapeake Bay on our new Chesapeake Charter. We'll take 3 couples to the Chesapeake Bay in October for some great sailing and great memories. Each day we'll travel to a different port and put our guests up in one charming Bed & Breakfast after another. We'll visit tiny little hideaways like Kent Island or Chesapeake City, small historic coastal towns like Havre de Grace and Chestertown, and you'll certainly get noticed when our Junk-rigged schooner sails into Baltimore and Annapolis. You'll get time in the evenings to explore each port and learn to sail the boat yourself during the day as we explore the Chesapeake Bay.
The Summer Wind
Escape the everyday...
There's nothing typical or ordinary about the Summer Wind. Join us for a unique experience you'll remember for a long time. Chinese mariners aren't well remembered by the rest of the world, but they made great contributions to the art and science of sailing craft. Help the crew haul on a halyard and you'll learn about sheetlets, euphroes, lizard eyes, battens and other very old techniques for crossing the sea. And you'll have fun doing it!
