No Sailing Experience Required

Sailing onboard this graceful, twin-masted ship evokes the romance of a bygone age. The harmony of a massive ship under sail and wind power is a truly unforgettable experience. Sit back and take in the beautiful scenery as our friendly, skilled captain and crew read the wind and let it guide the days sailing route. The Bay Lady is equipped with a powerful motor should the day demand it, but most tours will be done under wind power alone.

“Ships are the nearest things to dreams that hands have ever made, for somewhere deep in their oaken hearts the soul of a song is laid.”
