We had a fabulous time, the crew was very congenial and made us feel right at home. The ship was amazing, the weather couldn't have been better and we'll spread the word on your Schooner Cruises to our friends. It's a great way to have a relaxing outing with friends. Thank you to our Captain for keeping us safe out there and to his crew, all very professional but still very friendly.

Questions about Boston Schooner Sailing

Question: I know public parking can be a nightmare in Boston. Does the cruise company have a parking lot for passengers?

Answer: Limited metered parking can be found near the dock, and there are a few paid lots. More information will be provided upon confirmation after requesting a reservation.
Question: I received this as a birthday gift and would like to know if food and drinks available for purchase on the Schooner? Are we allowed to bring our own?

Answer: Food is not served on the ship but you are welcome to bring your own snacks. It is illegal to bring alcohol on board, however champagne, wine, and beer are available for purchase.
Question: I purchased the Schooner sail in Boston for my parents. In the description is says the "America" is based on a 19th century design. Are there bathrooms on the ship?

Answer: Yes, there are two bathrooms or "marine heads" on the ship. It is a simple pump design and directions are posted how to use them.
Question: My girlfriend bought us on a Schooner Sail in Boston. I've gotten seasick on boats before, but not every time. How steady is this cruise?

Answer: If you get seasick only on small vessels you should be okay. The yacht is 80 feet and very stable and it is pretty rare for passengers to get seasick. If you normally take medication for motion sickness you may want to consider it, however the cruise company cannot officially advise you to take any.
