What to Expect

Arrival Board the night before sailing and tour the ship with her experienced, six-member crew.   Enjoy free secure parking right on the wharf at our shipyard. North End Shipyard in Rockland is a working shipyard with all the skills and equipment to preserve, restore, or build traditional wooden vessels.
Packing Pack casual, comfortable clothes, and two pairs of rubber-soled shoes (no high heels, golf shoes, or white yachting outfits, please.) Raingear, a warm sweater or jacket, a sunhat and sunscreen are a must. You can't bring too much film, or ask too many questions.
Dining Food is prepared on a wood-burning stove and the menu is varied and wonderful. Smells of freshly baked bread tease the senses in anticipation of meals such as haddock with lemon caper sauce, green beans and Caesar salad.
A tasty treat at the end of one of these culinary delights may be hand-cranked ice cream. And what trip would be complete without the traditional lobster and pie feast on a deserted beach?
