Walk-on tours are a chance to explore the vessels at the dock and speak with the crews. A $3 donation per person is appreciated. A reservation is not required.

 

Three-hour Battle Sails are recreations of a typical 18th-century style naval skirmish close quarters maneuvers using the same commands and tactics of American warships of the Revolutionary War. Tickets are $60 adults, $50 students/seniors/active military, and $40 children 12 and under. Purchases of eight or more tickets earn a 15 percent discount on the price per ticket. The Adventure Sail is a two-hour family-oriented educational excursion offering an opportunity for guests to help raise a sail, sing a sea shanty, hear maritime stories, and take the helm of a real tall ship, conditions permitting. Tickets for the Adventure Sail are $39 for all ages. Purchase tickets for all sailings online or call 800-200-5239.
