New England Sailing Charters

We welcome you aboard ARTEMIS for a 4 hour voyage departing from and returning to beautiful Gloucester harbor. If you’ve ever heard the term” we’ll go where the wind takes us” well then you’ll begin to understand that our direction of sail or itinerary is based on the direction from which the wind is blowing. Whether it’s sailing down the coast to Marblehead or Salem, heading offshore to get away from land and search for marine life or working our way up to the magnificent twin Lighthouses of Thatchers Island, you will have much to see. Maybe you’ll want to learn a little about sailing a take a turn at the wheel! It seems that we’re often hungry at sea and you’ll love our yummy and healthy sandwich wraps served on deck. We will provide still and carbonated water but feel free to bring some beverage of your choice to stock in the ice chest.

Watching the reds, oranges, and yellows of the sky as the sun sets over Gloucester Harbor is a spectacular sight.
