Trip Highlights

Description

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.

Only six guests! plenty of room to relax.
Only six guests! plenty of room to relax.

Artemis is a large sailing vessel. We have designed our voyages for a maximum of six guests. We could probably fit double the amount but really feel that we would like to provide more of an intimate adventure for each of our guests. This means there is plenty of space to stretch out or to get off by yourself away from the group for a little while.

Itinerary

Aboard a true sailing vessel like Artemis, an exact itinerary would be difficult to make. To enjoy the true essence of sailing, we must sail in the direction that the wind offers us. Whichever direction in which we travel, there will be much to see and lots to learn about sailing and marine life as well as the history of our area

Why take this tour?

We are a family owned and operated business and have been operating our own vessels for over 40 years!. Captain Rick and Deb are on every cruise aboard Artemis and we love what we do! Let us show you our beautiful sailing vessel and offer you a chance to get close with the natural beauty of Gloucester, Massachusetts and the North Atlantic Ocean.

Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do, than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Mark Twain

Included

  • We pay your launch fare to and from the vessel. A small gratuity for the launch Captain would be greatly appreciated.

  • Yummy and healthy snacks and sandwich lunch buffet.

Frequently asked questions

You can reserve and pay right here on this site.
Follow your GPS instructions to 24 Harbor Loop in Gloucester Massachusetts. Find a place to park. once you have parked your car, please call our Boat phone at 207–930–5873 and let us know that you are on your way. It is a good idea to be parked and on your way down to the launch 15 minutes prior to your scheduled departure time. Then proceed to the Harbormaster’s office and go down the ramp to the water. Look for a white open boat about 30 feet long named the Gloucesterman. if the boat is not there then that means it is probably out doing a run and will return shortly. Wait patiently and they will be there. Once aboard the launch, tell the driver that you are headed to Artemis. We will pay the cost of the launch service but it is always nice to leave a couple of dollars for the launch captain.
The weather in New England changes regularly and quickly, so it’s always a good idea to bring layers. We find a windbreaker to be a key element of comfort on the water!
You are welcome to bring snacks and libations! We prefer that you steer clear of red wine, dark berries, and greasy sauces/items as these will stain our canvas cushions. Daysails can be sunny, so sunscreen (not the spray kind please! It can stain the canvas)and a hat are good ideas.Also, feel free to bring your favorite musical playlists as we have wireless speakers aboard.
Yes! Dog friendly and “mellow”dogs are welcome to sail with us. We do ask that you let us know if you will be bringing a dog along with you, as we have a dog of our own, and like to make sure proper introductions happen
Children over 8 are welcome to join us on our family friendly sails.
Sorry, There is no smoking allowed on board the boat.
Unlikely, we do our best to stay in protected waters, but if you know that you get seasick with the mere thought of being on the water, please take care of yourself and your comfort as you see fit. We do not offer dramamine or any other medications aboard the boat.
Yes. We have a nice clean ‘head’ on board the boat for our guests use, and also recommend that all of our guests use the public facilities on the dock before boarding as we have a relatively small holding tank!
We are very sorry to say, no. We are more than happy to help those with limited mobility aboard, but cannot accommodate wheelchairs on board. We would be happy to try and suggest vessels that will have such access.
Our crew rely on your generosity to show your appreciation for their hard work to make your voyage a success. Like other service workers our crew feel great and know that they’ve done an awesome job when you tip them 20%
Yes, we certainly do! Please call or email to discuss options and ideas. 207-930-5873 or Artemissails@gmail.com
