Great time - fun, informative, and interactive. Captain and crew are very accommodating. Highly recommend.

Fantastic educational experience on this historic wonder!

A majestic sailing experience! What a beautiful, fully restored, historic schooner. We had a such a great time with my whole family - young and old, sailing in scenic Gloucester Harbor and learning about the history of Adventure. The crew was friendly and helpful and even had the kids help raise the sails. The three hour sail was the perfect length of time to go out. We even brought our own picnic. We can't wait to sail on Adventure again - maybe next time we'll charter her so our whole family can go!

“Just spent a beautiful late summer Sunday afternoon on the Schooner Ardelle for the first time and am sure it was not my last!!!

A very hospitable and friendly environment with great personable experience from the shipwright/builder and captain himself Harold and his crew. The slow pace of the afternoon sail was just what I needed and what better way to do it on a schooner sail in Gloucester Harbor. Gentle breezes, full sails, a warming sun and amicable guests made for great conversation and experience.

Thank you again and look forward to another sail hopefully before the season closes out!!!” -Steve K.

When you make a reservation online, over the phone, or in person we take a credit card to hold your reservation for the total cost of your trip. Your credit card will be charged in the morning on the day of your trip prior to your arrival. If you have any discounts, gift certificates, or vouchers you must use them at the time of booking. We cannot apply them to a reservation that has already been completed.

If you cancel after 72 hours we will charge your card for the full value due on your reservation. If the Captain cancels, we will issue a full refund to your original form of payment within 24 hours. Depending on your credit card service, it can take 5-10 days for the refund to post.
