Privateer Schooner Sailing Tour à Salem Sound

Aperçu
FAME is annually the #1-rated boat in Salem and the #1 outdoor activity in the entire town, per TripAdvisor. Don't miss the very best of what Salem has to offer! There's more to our town than witches!

FAME is a full-scale replica of a privateer schooner from the War of 1812 that captured over 20 prizes! We sail up to five times a day between May and October from Pickering Wharf Marina in downtown Salem.

On board our traditional gaff-rigged schooner, you'll get a chance to raise the sails and even steer the boat as we sail Salem Sound and talk about the fisherman, traders, and privateers that played such a central role in the saga of Salem, and of the young United States.

This is a great hands-on adventure — but you can also just sit back and enjoy a beverage and take it all in as we cruise past the historic forts and lighthouses of Salem, Beverly, & Marblehead.

Note: although the captain & crew have plenty to tell you, this is NOT a narrated tour! No children under five allowed.

From the beginning we felt welcomed and safe on this wonderful sailboat. The crew was very friendly and knowledgable and lots of fun. The warm cider, with or without whiskey added, was delicious and, because it was a chilly night, it warmed us inside while the blankets they had for us kept us warm on the outside. We were so lucky to have the most gorgeous sunset, and the hoisting of the sails (by volunteer guests) as well as the firing of the cannon was added entertainment. I wouldn't hesitate to book this wonderful sail. 5 STARS!!

Absolutely fantastic! The captain and crew were top notch, very personable and friendly and made the trip fun. We had kids ranging from 8-11 y/o in our group and they loved the interactive part of the tour where they got to help with raising the sails and loading the cannon. It was really enjoyable to be out on the water and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful views and relax away from the crowds on the street while learning a little history too. The size of this boat was "just right" for us, not too large or crowded, but not too small either. I would be more cautious with younger kids because guests are seated around the perimeter of the ship with just rope for a railing which would require you to stay vigilant with small children. Bathroom on board was a plus! Highly recommended!

Thanks for sailing! Your point about small children is spot-on, and that's why WE DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN UNDER 5.
