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

2017 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 calendar below.

Dates with "CT" or "MA" on pull-down menus only launch at that location. We keep our operations small, so space is limited. Contact us for other times and places, private groups, or hourly lessons May thru November.
