Schooner Lannon

Rockport & Gloucester with Schooner Cruise

Friday, June 26

Before the Tall Ships grace Boston Harbor in July, take a schooner cruise around Cape Ann with us!

Relax aboard a 1 ½ hour sail on the Schooner Lannon to get a taste for what it was like to sail on a fishing schooner a hundred years ago. Help the crew raise the sails, or just sit back & relax on the deck of this beautiful 65-foot schooner as she sails out of Gloucester harbor. Some of the sights we will see in the harbor area are Ten Pound Island & lighthouse, Watch House Point Fort, Hammond Castle, and Eastern Point Light.

Enjoy lunch in picture perfect downtown Rockport for shopping & lunch on your own, and to see the scenery that has inspired many painters. Just off Main St, you'll find eclectic Bearskin Neck, home to dozens of one-of-a-kind shops, artist's galleries & restaurants. Find handcrafted jewelry, fashionable clothing, locally made crafts, specialty household items, imported gifts, scrumptious chocolates and so much more!

We will also enjoy a self-guided tour of Hammond Castle; a historic treasure perched along the stunning coastline of Gloucester with nearly 100 years of history. The impressive medieval-style castle was the creation of famed inventor John Hays Hammond Jr. and now serves as an exciting STEAM museum that blends history, science, and art. Hammond Castle Museum offers visitors an array of interactive exhibits featuring historical European architecture, the art and culture of ancient Rome and medieval Europe, and early science and engineering for one of the most interesting museum experiences you'll ever have!
