"What a mind blowing trip! Words fall short...I've come home changed in some unnamable way." - Brendan, Philadelphia

2019 promises more incredible sails embarking from Westport, MA and Old Lyme, CT (both accessible without a car). Participants sail and camp in boats with just one or two others, making this a great activity to share. Season trip and tidal calendar below.

Dates with "CT" or "MA" in pull down menus are only at that location. For favorable currents, place the first day of any new trip during an ideal start window from calendar. Get in touch for alternate locations, private groups, and half-day lessons year-round.
