This is the second time I’ve ENJOYED THE FAME SCHOONER. I was in Salem for 10 days in June and sailed FAME solo, with three other residents from Salem. As all locals are from SALEM, these were super friendly people and we all became instant friends. Don’t HESITATE to do this sail if you are alone! Actually I prefer to do many activities by myself when I travel because I meet more people. You KNOW it’s going to be FABULOUS if locals go just for pleasure! I enjoyed it so much that when I came back in JULY for two weeks, I sailed FAME again, this time with my 16 year old. He loved it. The sail takes you around the coast of Salem and can see the MISERY ISLANDS, historical lighthouses and other points of interest that captain points out and gives a brief spiel. The captain and crew are outstanding! They are intelligent, historically well informed and get their guests involved in running sails, answering questions and most importantly, involved in FUN!!
Drinks and alcohol are available for purchase.
Great experience, I will do this sail every time I visit SALEM. (I live in BATON ROUGE, LA)
I’ve fallen in love with SALEM and plan on moving there in 20 months.)
THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE SAIL. THE SCENERY IS EXQUISITE AS WELL AS THE BEAUTIFUL WATER. Even if you are prone to seasickness, I believe you will be comfortable on FAME!
ENJOY
