Completely different than other sailing experiences in the harbor. The description here understates the historical nature of the ship itself. This is not a replica. Great crew, and the route covers a lot more of the harbor.

My friend and decided to get out on the water, and someone suggested this sunset sail. I could not recommend this more!!! I felt like I was in a movie, When and If is so stunningly beautiful, so chic, and being out on the water is amazing. This was by far the best thing about Salem for us! The Captian and crew are so professional. If you get the chance definitely give this a try!!!!!

Firstly the yacht is beautiful, I can’t believe how amazing my pictures turned out! Secondly the full bar onboard and specialty drinks were all amazing, and lastly the trip itself was beautiful. Sailing around the sound I had no idea how beautiful the North Shore truly is! The crew were so knowledgeable and safety conscious, we couldn’t have had a better time!
