*** NEW *** Sailing Into Mindfulness: A Retreat on Long Island Sound – Saturday, May 2, 7-11 AM
Step aboard the Schooner SoundWaters and experience a retreat unlike any other. Sailing into Mindfulness invites you to discover peace, clarity, and connection on the open waters of Long Island Sound. Guided by mindfulness practices, poetry, contemplative reflection, and meaningful group conversation, this unique program helps you reconnect – with yourself, with others, and with the earth.
Enjoy the calming rhythm of the waves, the inspiration of the horizon, and the spaciousness of time away. Whether you’re seeking renewal, deeper connection, or simply a pause from the everyday, this retreat offers a refreshing journey for mind, body, and spirit. Duration: four hours (approximately 2-3 hours of sailing, with some time ashore before and after).
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 at the front entrance to the Cohen SoundWaters 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 six passengers to sail. In the event of low attendance, passengers will be notified of cancellation four hours before the sail 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.”
