*** NEW *** Retreat to the Sound
We welcome you on the Schooner SoundWaters so you can connect to the beauty of Long Island Sound, but let’s face it, sometimes eating and drinking with friends can get in the way of feeling that deep connection. If that’s your experience and you’re looking for more, we created Retreat to the Sound for you.
Launching at 7:00am, Retreat to the Sound is your opportunity to block out all the distractions and create a deep connection to the boundless beauty of Long Island Sound. Come alone or with close friends who are seeking a similar experience to enjoy four hours of guided meditations, music, and reflections to contemplate your place and the endless vibrancy of our natural world.
Life is noisy. Come find your calm.
For All Sails:
The Schooner departs ON TIME. We recommend you arrive 20 minutes in advance of your scheduled sail time.
Our crew will be available in the lower parking lot behind the Harbor Center 20 minutes before your sail is scheduled to depart to check you in and issue you a parking pass.
We require a minimum of 8 passengers to sail, and in case of low attendance, passengers will be notified 4 hours before the sail that the sail is canceled and receive a full refund.
All sales are final.
WHAT TO BRING
The boat’s setup is casual, with no seat assignments, and passengers can stand or sit on a bench-style elevation. You are welcome to bring a small picnic-style meal, snacks, soft drinks, water, wine/beer, and no hard liquor, please. Please bring small coolers only, as space is limited on the boat.
Boat shoes, sneakers, comfortable rubber sole shoes – great, no high heels.
There is no special protected space from the sun, so wear a hat and sunblock. On cooler days, an extra layer of clothing is recommended for sunset sails.
*Please be advised that while marijuana is legal in many states, it remains a violation of federal law to possess marijuana or any recreational drug on board a certified passenger-carrying vessel like the Schooner SoundWaters. Please DO NOT have any such substances in your possession when you board our schooner.

What They’re Saying
“This was a great way to spend a Sunday evening in the summer. The ship was beautiful. The crew was friendly and helpful. It was fun to do as a group but I’d do it alone or as a couple.”
