Days 2--4 Sailing the Atlantic Coastline
Set sail on the Schooner Liberty Clipper on one of our most adventurous cruises! Be a part of an offshore passage where you will participate in the sailing and navigation of a sailing ship as we set "sea-watches" for a voyage down the coast. If you've been an armchair sailor and want to earn your stripes or you've always dreamed of sailing offshore on a working sailing ship, this is the voyage for you!
This cruise mixes the best elements of the more relaxed "windjammer-style" cruises with an offshore element to bring you a vacation cruise that you will never forget. Please note that on this cruise, you will sail overnight and have a schedule to keep. You will typically see some whales and dolphins offshore, and will catch at least one of your meals on the way south and always have some amazing sunsets and sunrises over the Atlantic!

Liberty Clipper

The Liberty Clipper is a 125-foot beautifully renovated gaff-rigged schooner, a replica of the renowned Baltimore Clippers, made famous over a century ago for their speedy and safe rounding of Cape Horn on expeditions to the California Gold Rush. Her authentic design is exceeded only by a state-of-the-art galley, modern accommodations for up to 24 guests, and a beautifully adorned grand salon.
The Liberty Clipper is rigged as a traditional gaff-rigged schooner. She carries three head-sails, or jibs. In addition, the sailing ship has a fore-sail and main-sail. The Liberty Clipper's size ensures safety and comfort aboard during a sailing vacation. Enjoy time on the main deck during the day without having to worry about the sails.
